Last but not the least, Dan Brown, the author of The Da Vinci Code, named The Doomsday Conspiracy as the book that inspired him to write thriller fiction, citing its 'simplicity of the prose and efficiency of the storyline'. The Doomsday Conspiracy is not very original either in theme or characterization however, it is a thoroughly slick job of fiction writing. So, you can guess the ‘evil villain’ even before the second half begins. There are just 5 main characters in this book. After reading 400+ pages, you are expecting some answers but the climax feels so abrupt & inane, you feel as if the writer ran out of ideas to finish this book. It’s as if, Bellamy & the readers are running around circles till they reach the eventual climax. The other half deals with unraveling of the mystery and Bellamy criss-crossing entire Europe & more, that carries the reader to Washington, Zurich, Bern, Geneva, London, Munich, Rome, Brussels, Ottawa, Kiev, Bucharest, Naples, and other interesting places ( it really feels like a luxury tour at this point). The book can be divided into 2 halves, One with Bellamy tracking down each of the passengers (one at a time, thanks to convenient hints).

But as Robert tries to complete his mission, he discovers that there is lot more to the mission than he is told and a deadly chase begins. A weather balloon carrying sensitive military information has crashed in Switzerland & Bellamy is assigned by the NSA to locate the 10 people on a tourist bus who saw the crash. The story concerns an American naval officer Commander, Robert Bellamy of the US Naval Intelligence, dispatched on a top secret mission. This one however, is a thriller with shades of science fiction (sort of) with the CIA, spies & UFOs all thrown in the mix.
