The Doomsday Conspiracy

Sidney Sheldon

WEEK 44

Front cover of The Doomsday Conspiracy by Sidney Sheldon

The Doomsday Conspiracy is a thriller by the American writer Sidney Sheldon, published in 1991. Robert Bellamy, a US Naval Intelligence agent, takes on a top-secret undercover assignment for the NSA: to track down a group of tourists who witnessed the crash of a highly classified experimental weather balloon in the Swiss Alps. What he uncovers is an international conspiracy of staggering proportions. Hunted by the very agency that employed him, and running out of people he can trust, Bellamy must race against time to piece together the truth and stop an invisible global network determined to eliminate everyone connected to the incident.

Ideal for Sidney Sheldon fans who enjoy light espionage, global conspiracies, and page-turning momentum, and for anyone after an easy, unputdownable airport read or a way out of a reading slump.

Read it for: the short, punchy chapters, with a cliffhanger at the end of nearly every one.
