Ken Follet captures your attention from the moment you start a book until the end. this one is no different. Interesting storyline, slightly predictable compared to his other books but entertaining nonetheless. I'm always on the lookout for any new books of his.

Why fifteen word minimum? The narrator managed both male and female voices well, so good for her.

The worst book that Ken Follet has ever written.

Would have preferred a male voice for the narration (or rather 2 voices, a male and a female.
