"One of the truly great epic stories. One feels it is based more on truth than fiction. The amazing parallel stories of two seemingly divergent characters whose lives intersect at strategic points in the book. Excellent character development and a continued suspense-filled story!

" So far, I am amazed at how different this book is from the last one I read by Jeffrey Archer. He is an amazing writer. I am finding this one to be less calloused in its approach. So far, it is an interesting story. I spoke too soon. It was not the type of book I read afterall. "
