Great reading Not the most intellectual book in the world, but who cares? What a page turner? This is a gripping book with great action, steamy sex scenes and likeable hero/heroine, all set in a well researched and thoroughly believable Afghanistan. One of my two favourite Follett books. Go read and enjoy!
Good Reading Good plot and well written which is expected from Follett. The story is of the old love triangle formula. Follett gets it to work through the sub plots of both the men being spies for opposing countries starting in France and ending up in war torn Afghanistan. Well worth reading if you are a first timer with Follett or and old pro!
