conversations.value: The Sigma Protocol: Ben Hartman is vacationing in Switzerland when he meets his old school buddy Jimmy Cavanaugh - who tries to kill him.\nAs he dodges assassins, mysterious tails, and police while searching for a safe place to hide, he finds his twin brother, Peter, who was thought to have died in an airplane crash several years earlier.\nPeter describes an international corporation which was formed in the last days of World War II, composed of financiers, influential members of large corporations, and Nazi brass.\nHe gives Ben a photo of some of the leaders, only to find out that their father was a member.\nSoon, Peter is killed by an assassin, and Ben escapes with his life again.\nHe later meets up with Liesel (Peter\'s girlfriend).\nMeanwhile, United States Department of Justice Agent Anna Navarro is recruited by a secretive group within the DoJ to investigate the deaths of a list of influential men around the world who have been dying mysteriously.\nHer probes turn up false leads, possible coverups, and dead ends, until she finds out that the men have been poisoned by someone using the same obscure toxin.\nFollowing the leads, she finds that the men she had been assigned to investigate are part of an international group of financiers and business moguls.\nShe soon finds out that she has been reported "off the reservation", and the attempts begin on her life as well.\nThrough their own distinct investigative means, the two protagonists discover more about the shadowy group, which is called Sigma.\nIt is learned that Sigma has grown from a simple attempt to plunder the Nazi treasury and stabilize the industrial and financial state of the world in the wake of the war, to a political and financial machine which controls as many as 75% of the world\'s leading companies, and has enough covert political clout to directly influence the outcome of the likes of Presidential elections.\nSigma also helped some of the Nazi war criminals, including Nazi doctor Gerhard Lenz, evade capture.\nProtagonists Hartman and Navarro eventually meet and form an alliance, since both are being hunted by Sigma assassins.\nThrough their concerted efforts, they discover that Sigma is experiencing an internal struggle.\nThe founders, who are dead or dying, believe that Sigma should disband, as it had played its role in the world; they\'re called the angeli rebelli, and are being hunted by the new Sigma leadership.\nThat new leadership, an apparently philanthropic doctor named Jürgen Lenz, son of Sigma founding member Gerhard Lenz, has decided on a new direction for the group, and is determined to eliminate any internal opposition.\nNavarro is kidnapped by Lenz, and Hartman tracks them to an old castle in the Austrian Alps.\nSuccessfully infiltrating the castle, he discovers Sigma\'s new direction: age reversal.\nLenz had found a way to reverse human aging based largely WW2 era experimentation on children with premature aging also known as Progeria, and he had been treating some of the world\'s elite to reverse their aging as well.\nLenz was his own first successful experiment, for his real name is Gerhard - he is the Nazi doctor and a founding member of Sigma.\nAfter killing Lenz, Hartman and Navarro escape in a helicopter, while the castle is destroyed by an avalanche.\nThe book is based on the Bilderberg Group and the myths and mysteries surrounding it.

  Heart hammering, she thought: Not so fast, you bastard. "I'm not done yet," she said with a firmness that she could see surprised him.
  You want a fight, she thought, you got it. He was not going to intimidate her. Not with what she knew about him.
  Lenz had turned his back on her and was heading toward the exit. "Miss Navarro, your silly games really don't interest me. Now would you please leave my office this moment, or shall I be forced to—"
  She was terrified, more frightened than she'd ever been before. Her heart was hammering; blood rushed in her ears. She knew she had no backup.
  Lenz stopped short, a few feet from the exit, and closed the door. When he turned around, his face had gone dark with rage.

  On the facing wall were glass tanks, from a foot to almost five feet tall and two feet around, and in them floated not fetuses but small children.

conversations.value: The name delivered a jolt, as it was meant to. A legendary Hungarian financier and philanthropist, Novak had received a Nobel Peace Prize the previous year for his role in conflict resolution around the world. Novak was the founder and director of the Liberty Foundation, which was devoted to "directed democracy"—Novak's great passion—and had offices in regional capitals through Eastern Europe and other parts of the less developed world. But then Janson had reasons of his own to remember Peter Novak. And those reasons constituted a debt to the man so immense that Janson had occasionally experienced his gratitude as a burden.
  The woman's gray-green eyes bore into him. "My name is Márta Lang, and I work for Peter Novak. I could show you a business card, if you thought that would be helpful."
  Janson shook his head slowly. Her business card would provide a meaningless title, identifying her as some sort of high-ranking employee of the Liberty Foundation. I work for Peter Novak, she had said, and simply from the way she spoke the words, Janson recognized her type. She was the factotum, the point person, the lieutenant; every great man had one. People like her preferred the shadows yet wielded great, if derivative, power. From her name and the barest trace of an accent, it was evident she was Hungarian, like her employer.
