"Doomsday Conspiracy", a novel by Sidney Sheldon.
I have read 9-10 Sheldon books earlier and what I like most is that he doesn't write series books. Each book is a standalone book.
Commander Robert Bellamy is recruited from Navel Intelligence by CIA to find out the witnesses of a weather ballone crash. He later finds out that it was actually a UFO crash. Unknown to him a secret multinational oganization, headed by mysterious Janus, is killing the witnesses he found.
Why did CIA lie to him? Why the killings? Are there aliens? Things take a nasty turn and he is on a run. Police and intelligence agencies all round the world are hunting him. Who is behind this? Has it anything to do with his ex-wife, who he still loves. Who is Janus?
The story takes place in Europe and USA. Robert Bellamy is portrayed as emotional secret agent, but his past is shown as an efficient and hard sleuth. A bit of contradiction because sometimes he seems naive.
Since Bellamy is on run a large portion of book is dedicated in describing his travels. Story is not revetting, but one does not abandon the book either. The climax and end is abrupt.
The book promotes environmentalism. This book is not in the same class as some other Sheldon novels.
