I think I read this book at one point, but I don't remember a single thing about it. That's how good it was.

The best espionage thriller I've read. Ken Follett has earned my reading loyalty immediately once I picked this up.

Good story. Interesting counterintelligence angle. The weave was just intricate enough to be interesting but still accessible.
