    ISRAEL - where the Mossad's top agent, Nat Dickstein, a master of disguise and deceit, is given an impossible mission: to beat the Arabs in the arms race by finding and stealing 200 tons of uranium without any other nation discovering the theft...

    RUSSIA - where top KGB officials have decided to tip the atomic balance in Egypt's favor...

    ENGLAND - where Dickstein makes what could be the fatal mistake of his career by falling under the seductive spell of Suzie Ashford, the dazzling, dark-haired beauty who may be his dearest ally or his deadliest enemy...

    THE HIGH SEAS - where the Mossad, KGB, Egyptians, and Fedayeen terrorists play out the final violent, bloody moves in a devastating game where the price of failure is nuclear holocaust...

    Ken Follett

    Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering into journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy - a body of work which together chronicles over a thousand years of history - and his latest novel Never - which envisages how World War III could happen - have sold more than 188 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.

    • 4/5
      Nice tantalizing story of intrigue as Israel struggles to survive the steady onslaught of destructive tendencies from their Arab neighbors. Clever intro where the main players in this gripping tale of espionage and deceit innocently meet together in a professor's home in their youth, never realizing what lies in store for them. Some expected, (but unnecessary) mushy love story stuff and graphic sex, but a very steady pulse of excitement as the heist of the uranium for atomic weaponry closes in near the end. Follett is very clever in how he weaves this tale of 3 competing forces striving for different goals for very different reasons around this leg of the late 1960s nuclear arms race. Enjoyed very much!
    • 5/5
      I'm a Follett junkie anyway -- he has the ability to not only make a storyline believable he maintains a level of intrigue throughout his books. Excellent read, easily read, flows well.
    • 3/5
      I’ve read a lot of Follett, definitely his writing improved over the years. This earlier work was tedious and not surprising or suspenseful. I don’t quit books often but considered doing so with this book.
    • 5/5
      A very entertaining story. One of Follets best in my opinion, devoid of the sometimes soap operish plotting that typifies some of his later works. Funny often and always fast moving. Recommended.
    • 3/5
      Quality work from Mr. Follett, but of course, you all know that, as does he. Craftsmanship all through the story, good plot, memorable characters, timely setting with a ticking clock adding tension to the entire story.

      Pace is slow, almost deliberate, but the complicated plot and several subplots necessitate the deliberation. The last quarter of the story flies by as everything comes together with some great twists that lead to emotional and moral dilemmas for the two protagonists.

      Always worth reading or re-reading the greats.

      *Special note: This is book # 52 read in 2013! I reached my goal of a book per week read in 2013 with 3 weeks to spare. * "Whoo-hoo-hoo" as one of my friends likes to say after he sinks a long putt to win the match on the golf course.
    • 5/5
      Another great book by Ken Follett. This is a thriller that will keep you turning the pages. Looking forward to the next release, as I have now read all of his books that I can find.
    • 3/5
      Geschichte rund um den Uran-Diebstahl des Staates Israel. Eine in sich stimmige Story, die gut lesbar ist und Spaß macht. Zum Ende hin kommt man als Leser aber etwas durcheinander, weil so viele Schiffe im Mittelmeer aufeinander treffen, das man den Überblick verliert.
    • 4/5
      The story of a Mossad agent's mission to steal 200 tons of uranium for Israel so they can beat the Arabs in the race to build nuclear weapons, culminating in a high seas showdown between the intelligence agencies of Israel, Egypt, and Russia, and the Fedayeen, Triple has all (or almost all) of the elements that make so many of Ken Follett's spy thrillers such good reads, including some interesting characters and an exciting, high-stakes story. And it was a pretty good read.But it seemed to be lacking something that much of Follett's other work has, some deeper meaning tying it all together, an integrating theme. And the characters and plot were not as good as they could have been as a result. A lot of other reviewers say that this is their favorite Follett novel after The Eye of the Needle and The Pillars of the Earth, but these three are actually my least favorite of his that I've read so far, and I think a lot of his later work is significantly better. But I'm clearly in the minority on this, so take that for what it's worth.
    • 4/5
      Quite a good page turning thriller set in 1968 when an Israeli agent is trying to steal a cargo of uranium so that his country can have the atomic bomb, to guard against Egypt getting the bomb with Soviet help. The Egyptians and a Palestinian terrorist group are trying to stop the Israelis succeeding. The number of betrayals and counter-betrayals gets confusing at times. Both sides use extreme violence to get their ends, not only against each other, but against innocent bystanders who get in their way. Quite good, but not one of Follett's best.
    • 3/5
      I don't want to downgrade a book just because I don't like the type of book it is (spy fiction and adventure), but what it is makes it hard to judge without bias. Ken Follett has a way of writing that irritates me because it leaves one with the feeling that one actually has a large understanding of a concept or period or event when it is really a view of one possibility. It's okay and sometimes good, but not too deep overall. Makes me wish I were reading something else. I am probably just overreacting to people who praise Follett as a great writer when really he's just okay as an adventure writer. His people aren't usually fleshed out and his plots are lacking. There's very little of the feel or taste of a location.
    • 2/5
      Not as good as Eye of the Needle but a reasonable thriller.
