great historical Adventure

love everything about World War II and Churchill, and this is a great adventure story set in those times. totally believable and exciting

Gripping Story

I loved the story, but do wish the author could have told it with less graphic descriptions of the romantic encounters. The plot, relationships, and characters were interesting without stooping to add the lurid bedroom details.
Very good job by the narrator.

Entertaining!

Really good all the way around. Only reason I didn't give more stars, I'm picky.

Excellent mystery

First time I have read or listened to a Ken Follett novel. After this one I really look forward to the next one. The readers were great

An Exciting Read!

I very much enjoyed this book, the first Follett novel I have read. Mr. West's narration added greatly to the experience but he did often speak too softly. That's my only complaint.

Captivating. Both story and narration

Really appreciated the story. Narrator managed accents and voices with care. Will listen to another Follet book.

Enjoying it but a little distracted

I enjoy the author’s succinct yet descriptive writing style and couldn’t stop listening once the story got going. However, certain decisions made by the “genius” antihero seem careless if not stupid and hard to believe someone so intelligent would choose to do. I was pulled right out of the world of the story.

Best book

I've ever read twice! A.real nail biter with a bittersweet love story and a female heroine

Immensely gripping

Fantastic plausible fiction. Rich historic detail believable characters and insightful. A delightful listen performed by a deft actor. An adult read because Follett threw in some steamy sex and gruesome details.

Another Win for Historical Fiction

Ken Follett never disappoints with historical fiction. I’m coming close to having read everything he’s written. I’m late to the party with this piece, but it was fantastic. The last couple of hours were some of the best suspense hours I’ve ever spent with a book. Great tale of intrigue, murder, suspense and passion…even a bit of love story. I’m usually fond of John Lee’s narration of his books, but Samuel West did a superb job here. Can’t wait to devour his last few novels that I haven’t already read.
