Ken Follet writes many different types of books, thrillers as well as excellent historical fiction, I highly recommend them ALL!!!!!!!
Classic novel set in a remote location. Read it years ago and still find it an interesting read especially if you like all things WWII and spy related!
A classic spy story that does not go become outdated.

Fast paced, really enjoyed it.
Not many people realize how close Germany came to northern European domination, and the lengths to which the Fatherland would go to realize Hitler’s vision of a German empire. This is a wonderful, fictional account of an alternate reality that may very well have changed the course of history.
Love Follett’s books.
Gripping, thriller!
