Synopsis

“Vintage Follett… This is his most ambitious novel and it succeeds admirably.” —USA TodayEllis, the American. Jean-Pierre, the Frenchman. They were two men on opposite sides of the Cold War, with a woman torn between them. Together, they formed a triangle of passion and deception, racing from terrorist bombs in Paris to the violence and intrigue of Afghanistan—to the moment of truth and deadly decision for all of them….

About Ken Follett

Ken Follett, a Welsh novelist has written important bodies of work, such as: Eye of the Needle, The Key to Rebecca, Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, Whiteout, The Century Trilogy. His genre includes thrillers and historical fiction. As a youth he was never allowed to watch television or movies, so out of boredom, he developed a keen interest in reading.

Follett had various jobs on his pathway to being a novelist. He was a general assignment reporter for the Evening News in London. He found that work to be very unchallenging, so he took a position as managing director of Everest Books and began writing fiction as an evening hobby. With the publication of Eye of the Needle in 1978 he became not only internationally known, but also wealthy. Follett’s next project is a third book in his Kingsbridge series. The first two were The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, and is to be released in 2017.

A Selva Afegã Certamente que os espíritos mais atentos já constataram, que sempre que nos propomos varrer das nossas vidas um certo prototipo de pessoa, tendemos a reencontrá-lo sob novas identidades.

Goodreads review by Supratim on June 05, 2019

I was expecting to enjoy this book a lot more! After all, this novel has been written by Ken Follett – the author of my favorite The Eye of the Needle. Unfortunately, I found the book to be pretty mediocre. Anyway, the story revolves around the love triangle involving Jane, a spirited English woman;......more

Para mí, leer a Follett siempre es una gozada. Al menos trato de leer dos libros suyos al año porque: a) adoro los libros de espionaje y este autor es lejos el mejor y; b) cada vez que leo una de sus novelas aprendo un montón y la lectura me deja mucho más que sólo una trepidante aventura. Sí reconoz......more

Goodreads review by Robert on February 06, 2013

Ugh. Contrived. Hackneyed. More plot holes than a television drama. More pseudo-feminist rhetoric than Anne Rice. The only character we can care about is Ellis, really named John, who in the end is a shallow character--he only cares about Jane. Much of the rest of the story feels like a story told t......more

Goodreads review by Mihaela on February 25, 2023

Un alt conflict inutil și sângeroas al secolului XX a fost războiul din Afganistan. Dincolo de conflictul armat a existat, ca în oricare război, o confruntare a serviciilor de spionaj americane și ruse. Finalul mi s-a parut un pic forțat, dar e interesant că acțiunea se desfășoară într-un alt contex......more
