Morris West’s Proteus delivers a taut political thriller centered on John Spada, an Italian-American industrialist who secretly commands a covert organization dedicated to liberating prisoners of conscience worldwide. West constructs a high-stakes narrative in which Spada threatens global catastrophe by deploying a deadly biological agent, forcing governments to confront their complicity in human rights abuses. The novel interrogates the moral boundaries of activism, illustrating the tension between ethical conviction and radical action. Through sharp dialogue and relentless pacing, West argues that individual conscience can become a formidable force against institutional oppression.
