A wonderful, suspenseful story. The characters were real and the action thrilling to the very end!

Very creative suspense novel. The plot is interesting and the historical events are weaved well together in the plot .

Great history lesson.

A good story, good characters, and a decent ending.

Loosely based on a history, this is a gripping read with the pace quickening throughout. Characters from heroes to villains are well drawn.

The transcription in this book was apparently done by computer; numerous obvious mistakes, the most vexing of which to readers is the confusion between the names Kemel and Kernel, which apparently indicate the same character. Towards the end, as the action picks up, the writing becomes almost juvenile, simplistic and lacks the credibility of the early chapters. An exciting story but the shortcomings leave it less than credible.

I loved this spy thriller! Follett is a master at transporting the reader to the time and place of the story! What a roller coaster ride!! Right up there with eye of the needle! Follett and LeCarre are masters of this type of story telling, well done!

This book was very similar to Eye of the Needle, With a strong woman helping to destroy the villain in a WW 2 setting. Not impressed.

OK ending.

There is a lot of action and overall, it is a thrilling experience. There are some rated R moments, so this might not be for the little kids.
