![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 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! 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. Ever wondered where Israel got their fissionable material to build their atomic bomb? Mr. Follett tells a great tale here on how it might have happened. The description of action scenes on the ship is too technical and a tab difficult to follow...goes into too many details sometimes. Certain parts are quite unbelievable eg. why do Ashford and Hassan think that Suza will succeed in finding out from Cortone Nat's whereabouts? ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

This is a spy versus spy versus spy novel about Israel stealing uranium cake to provide the fuel to make plutonium towards making the an atomic bomb and Egyptian, Arab and Russian intelligence agencies trying to stop them. I am not certain if this was historically accurate but it reads like it might be from the references given.
The book starts slow and the constant profiles of the major characters were annoying at first but the action picks up steadily to a great finish.
I will look for more of his spy novels. (
