Product Description:
The world's balance of power is about to shift dangerously as the ultimate weapon nears completion in a secret facility in the heart of the desert.

And one man—a razor-sharp master of disguise, deceit, and triple-cross—must somehow do the impossible: steal 200 tons of uranium without any of the other players discovering the theft.

An extremely intelligent premise, brilliantly carried out by the agent, against all odds. ... Read More

I really tried to get into this book because Ken Follett is one of my favorite authors. About 50 pages into the book, I put it down and it fell on the floor and my dog chewed it up. I threw it away. And to tell the truth, I don't care!
