Written & audio book performed by Ken Follett - Unabridged Fiction - 4 CASSETTES

Publisher, Brilliance Corporation (1986)

NOTE: This audiobook is a Brilliance BookCassette. Every BookCassette is a recording that is both unabridged and affordable. To give you the complete book at an affordable price, Brilliance has used a unique recording method that uses both tracks on each side of the tape and therefore requires balance control on the tape player you use. Twice as much recording can be captured on the same tape. Most non-portable tape players have balance control. Your tape player's balance control allows each track to be isolated for listening.

When using players without balance control (I.E. portables & personal players), a BookCassette Adapter is needed. One end of this adapter plugs into the headphone jack on your player and the other end into your headset. Call Brilliance Corporation, 1-800-854-7859 for more information and/or to purchase the adapter at a small price.

Publisher's Weekly REVIEW:

Follett's new thriller (after Eye of the Needle, The Key to Rebecca) involves cut-throat treachery and mixed-up romances. Jane and Ellis, Americans in Paris, are lovers, but she breaks with him when she learns he's a CIA agent, informing on terrorists. Ellis goes back to the U.S.. Jane marries Jean-Pierre Debout, a French physician, and goes with him to Afghanistan to care for rebel families holding out against the Russian army. Here is where the novel's real action, and its knife-edge tension, begin. After the birth of her baby, Jane discovers that Jean-Pierre is himself spying for the Russians and has caused a massacre of guerrilla fighters who were trapped at the foot of the mountains. Then Ellis reappears, bearing offers of American aid for Afghan leader Masud if the latter can unite his country's quarreling tribes. While Jean-Pierre is conspiring with the Soviet intruders to kill Masud, Ellis, Jane and even the infant girl, the story races to an explosive climax.
