“I had a hard time getting into it (probably due to frequent distractions), but Follet writes action scenes at a level worth studying academically--top rate. I found the introduction of a love interest added rather late in the book. That seemed a bit "off" to me. The last few chapters were page turners. ”

We get an insight on what the conflict means to the people who are caught right in the middle of it.”

Yes | No“description of action scenes on ship is too technical and a tab difficult to follow...goes into too much details some times. Certain parts are quite unbelievable eg. why do Ashford and Hassan think that Suza will succeed in finding out from Cortone's Nat's whereabouts?”
