Product Description
The world's balance of power is about to shift dangerously as the ultimate weapon nears completion in a secret facility in the heart of the desert. Across the globe, operatives from the great nations set a deadly game in motion, covertly maneuvering pawns and kings to achieve a frightening advantage—while terrorists and their hunters prepare for the contest's final bloody moves. And one man—a razor-sharp master of disguise, deceit, and triple-cross—must somehow do the impossible: steal 200 tons of uranium without any of the other players discovering the theft. The clock is ticking. And the price of failure is Apocalypse.

• Interesting Read! 29 August, 2007
Not one of his best, by far not near his worst. I read this about five or so years ago and really liked it. Slow start, but it picked up and I couldn't set it down.

• I Didn't Even Finish This Book. 23 July, 2007
I really tried to get into this book because Ken Follett is one of my favorite authors. About 50 pages into the book, I put it down and it fell on the floor and my dog chewed it up. I threw it away. And to tell the truth, I don't care!

• An Impossible Mission, Sucesssfully Accomplished 25 May, 2008
An Israeli agent is ordered by his government to obtain radioactive materials so Israel could build its own bomb. The bosses don't know where and how to get it. The agent should figure it out by himself. To make matters worse, he should steal the stuff in a way no one would ever suspect Israel has the materials.
Of course, the bad guys and the Americans are also around, to complicate the plot even more.
An extremely intelligent premise, brilliantly carried out by the agent, against all odds.
A digression: I rate this Follett's book second only to Pillars of The Earth or The Eye of the Needle, and side by side with The Man from St. Petersburg.
In addition to being (in my view) his best plots, each of these four books inaugurated a formula, later somehow repeated by Follett in other books. (For example, The Key to Rebecca or Lie Down with Lions follow the steps of The Eye of the Needle). In this sense, Triple, although a spy story like The Eye... it is also very original.
