A typically absorbing Follett page turner, though I did not initially warm to Vandam or Elene, and thus felt no real sympathy for any of the characters. The villainous spy, Alex Wolff, is very reminiscent of the equivalent in the author's Eye of the Needle. ( )About a German Spy in Cairo and a British agent's pursuit. Fun read This one sucks you in! During World War II the German spy was sent across the arid Sahara desert into Egypt. The German wanted to invade Cairo. The spy mission was to learn about the British millitary operation in Egypt. I read this book after "Eye of the Needle" which I enjoyed that book more. I rated that book 4 stars, but The Key To Rebecca 3 1/2 stars. But my favourite, and I think the best novel by Ken Follet is "The Pillars of the Earth". A spy story that boils down to a battle of wits. This book challenged my thinking on good guys and bad guys. Although the antagonist, Alex Wolf, had some unsavory personality traits, he wasn't wholly evil. The protagonist, William Vandam, was not wholly good. Both used women, but only Vandam was capable of loving a woman. Ken Follet superiorly writes suspense. He anticipates the reader's every questions and gives you the information exactly when you need it. no reviews | add a review
