Customer Reviews

The writing style of Follett is unique and he produces great stories with awesome skill
One of Follett's first spy-thrillers - Triple - is a typical cat and mouse spy novel, which is characterized by many dynamic characters all of which play a big and even role in the plot. From all ends of the political and religious spectrum - Follett introduces various characters right in the beginning of the novel with an unlikely meeting of future foes. The story begins at Oxford University in London England, where a group of students participate in political discussions. What they don't know is that their political differences will some day become more than just political differences. Eventually they'll all be at different ends of the race for nuclear weapons in the mid-East. I enjoyed the novel profoundly. It was a very good weekend page-turner, and I would suggest it to anyone who admires Follett's work!!! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

Superior stuff
Definitely one of Follett's best. The events are a bit dated now, but still an excellent build up to a gripping climax. Thoroughly recommended for the beach.

Excellent Espionage Thriller
Triple is a very well written espionage thriller by Ken Follett. Follett does an excellent job developing his characters and allows you to glimpse into their respective thought processes as the story unfolds. The story itself is very interesting and a seemingly quite realistic view into the world of espionage.
