Critic reviews

"Masterful...plot and counterplot, treachery, cunning and killing...keep you on edge every moment." ( Associated Press)
"A deadly romantic triangle, a clandestine mission with global stakes, an exotic location, a plot as gripping and ingenious as Eye of the Needle...engineered to perfection with breathless acceleration." ( Los Angeles Times)

Riveting!

Like all Follett’s books for me, the first third of the book is slow and the last two thirds race by! I never want them to end when they do. This was very good! I especially enjoyed the terrain. Follett brings the geography of the setting to life so well.

Authenticity

This book was utterly captivating. The narrators were superb with excellent diction and with obvious knowledge of the area they were retelling. Follett did it again, so carefully researching so much about the afghani and weaving a thriller par excellance

Narrator dictates extremely fast.

Decent story, not one of Follett’s best. The narrator dictates the story entirely too fast. Definitely fails to deliver the story as well as it could be delivered.

great story

great story good delivery from many characters in the book. another classic Ken Follett novel.

The presentation

A captivating story I must say, and I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend recommend it!
