A great spy novel, as good "Eye of the needle" September 20, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Although I can not agree that this book is better that the already legendary "Eye of the needle", I must admit that in his second book Ken Follett managed to do as well as in his first. This story takes place in Egypt during WWII and has for hero Alex Wolff, a German spy infiltrated in Cairo in 1942 by a daring raid through Sahara (this is partly inspired by real events - there was such an operation). Fluent in Arabic as well as in English, helped by local Arab sympatizers, Wolff proves to be a particularly dangerous man - information he transmits to Rommel headquarters helps Germans winning a couple of desert battles. Finally, British counter intelligence realises that there must be an undetected spy network somewhere in Cairo or Alexandria and the laborious investigation begins... This book is quite realistic and keeps good suspense until very end. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it warmly. Oh, and in fact, referring to the previous review, it already WAS adapted to cinema, in 1985, with David Soul playing Alex Wolff.

Ken Follet' s best one July 22, 1999
22 out of 28 found this review helpful
The best novel Ken Follet has ever write. The characters are very realistic and well described. You can find here a mix of romance and adventure that is difficult to find in other authors. Really, the best Ken Follet.
