Very Interesting thriller

by rainbowstew on August 16, 2007

I first read this about 20 years ago, and then read it again recently on
the occasion of giving a copy of it to a friend of mine from Russia. It
is a very interesting thriller set in the early 1900s, right before the
start of World War 1, and is an intriguing story concerning national
leaders primarily of England and Russia, and the efforts of a Russian
revolutionary to prevent Russia from getting mixed up with England in
the forthcoming war. It is like everything of Ken Follet's that I have
ever read, i.e. difficult to put down once you get started on it.
