Title : Objectif Paris - Robert Ludlum - Book

Summary :

Paris. In the dead of night, the Pasteur Institute is ravaged by an attack of unprecedented violence. Rescuers pull numerous corpses and a few survivors from the rubble, but are unable to locate the body of Emile Chambord, an eminent researcher present at the time of the explosion. He was working on a futuristic project: the creation of a supercomputer driven by DNA, that is, combining computer technology and human genius. He said he was close to the goal... Jon Smith, a medical doctor in the U.S. Army and agent of the highly secretive Shield Network, the close guard of the President of the United States, is working on similar research. He finds it hard to believe that Chambord could have achieved the feat of developing this computer so quickly, but the circumstances are troubling. Indeed, the day after the attack, communications at an American military base were cut off for 5 long minutes, in a completely unexplained manner. The White House is on a war footing: if the Chambord experiments really did succeed and fell into the wrong hands, the worst is to be feared... Jon Smith must quickly rule out this disastrous hypothesis. He goes to Paris, under the pretext of taking care of his old friend Marty Zellerbach, a genius computer scientist who worked alongside Emile Chambord, and who was seriously injured by the bomb. Smith arrives just in time to prevent an assassination attempt on Marty. Now there is no longer any doubt: the worst is indeed to be feared... From Paris to Algiers, via London and Brussels, Jon Smith embarks on a breathless chase to find Emile Chambord and his captors. If he wants to save thousands of human lives, time is running out...
