Ken Follett does not disappoint. At first, I was a little ho-hum about this one but once he added a little sizzle, the characters started to really pop, the story line picked right up and it was a real page turner that kept me up at night. Give this one a try, you will really enjoy it!

A WWII spy classic set in Egypt, full of desert color and intrigue, and a first-rate read.

In an unusual twist, the villain is set as the protagonist, more clever than his British counterpart and far more interesting. Story opens with an awe-inspiring trek across the Sahara and a brief look at Beduoin life. Then Wolff, the Nazi spy, goes to ground in Cairo and feeds Rommel info that will certainly win this war for Germany unless the British Major Van Damn can stop him.

As in any Follett, there is plenty of sex and the two women characters are each unique and fascinating. Follett's apparently love of 'menage a trois' is captured in a surprisingly graphic depiction.

The suspense is edge of the seat from start to finish and if you are like me, you want to grab Van Damn by the neck and holler at him to get on with it, man!
