A WW2 espionage thriller leading to a secret to misled germans in preparation of the D-Day. Fast paced story with a very few extra chapters, May be to keep the thrill up, Sex has also been there for the sake of romance in a thriller.
All the characters have been well used, language is quiet simple.
Its my first Ken Follet novel, I am not remarkably impressed like i was after ready Mario Puzo or Dan Brown, its obviously not comparable to some point, but still one can read and not regret.

Follett is simply one of the world's best writers. His prose is so tight, so seamless, so descriptive, his story becomes real; you are there!
