Product Description:
His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world-except the man from St. Petersburg...
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dissapointing
I've enjoyed Ken Follett's past books, and being interested in this time period specifically I thought this book would be a natural for me. Not so...
I found most of the characters unsympathetic to just downright pathetic.Feliks was the best of the lot, but I wasn't sure what the author was trying to tell us about him.One moment he's a hardened revolutionary who would would gladly kill a policeman, the next he's torn bewtween his ideals and love--next he's risking everyone he ...

Rating:  - HISTORY & SUSPENSE
This is what I want in a novel! I learned quite a bit about a "slice" of history that I knew very little about before: primarily London just before WW1 and, to a lesser extent, a sample of heinous cruelty delegated by many of the Russian 'nobility' (1895). For readers who prefer to sort of whet their appetites before diving into extensive historical studies, this presents the best of both worlds-a history primer entwined with one of the most suspenseful & captivating novels!
Rating: - An easy Follett
Easy to read, a very good beach book though it doesn't have the strength of "The Pillars" or some of his war novels. A nice unpredictable finish.
Rating: - The best of Follett....
This is my favorite of Ken Follett's work...
Like many of his earlier novels (Triplet, The Key to Rebecca, etc) it is fast paced and engaging. These are the precursors to the "techno-thrillers" of the late 1980s. But this is deeper....
This novel addresses the themes of WW1 and how it came about. It lightly touches on the contradictions of 'the establishment' versus the 'peoples movements' of the early 1900s and how the war came to be one of class struggle instead of one ... Read More
Rating:  - Morally sickening... avoid.
This book IS quite interesting, a captivating plot and lots of historical detail sure to delight most readers. Its the cheap sex, lust and glorification of adultry that damns the whole thing. Not to mention, this book has the trashiest climax I`ve come across in a long time.
Mr. Folletts obsession with adultary is extremely frustrating as he writes what are otherwise excellent historical thrillers. Trust me, if you have an ounce of traditional values in your body you'll want to hurl ... Read More
