Triple (US edition)

Triple

Triple is based on a true story about the Israelis stealing uranium to make a nuclear bomb. I didn't really know how the Israelis had gone about getting the uranium, but came up with an educated guess. Later I found out that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, was asking people where I had got my information from so maybe I guessed right!

Loved, loved, loved ‘World Without End’. After reading ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ I didn't think you could have written any story that could be any better, but I was wrong and I’m glad I was. I have passed you and your stories on to my family and friends. Keep writing so I can keep reading your stuff...

I absolutely loved ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ and ‘World Without End’. Of course my family didn't eat dinner or have any clean clothes for a month or so, but that's the price u pay, right? I read one heck of a book. Both times. No one could talk to me, cause I wouldn't talk back, I would just wave my hand. Great job, Mr. Follett!!!

Dear Mr Follett,
I am 15 and never in my life have read better books than yours. I want to thank you sooo much for all of these amazing stories! The happy endings which a lot of good books are missing are the best. I was sooo lucky that my parents own many of your books. I opened the first one of them and could hardly put it down again. Wordsmith is an understatement for your masterpieces!
Thank you for being an inspiring author! :)

Some of us are a little slow at finding and reading good books, but I'll have you know that I just finished reading ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ – one of the very best books I've ever read. Thanks so much for an entertaining ride and kindling a keen interest in medieval times. It took a long time to read and many nights will little sleep (reading until 2:00 am) but well worth it. Thanks so much!

Just finished ‘World Without End’. I loved it, as I have all your books (except ‘The Hammer of Eden’). I look forward to your next book coming out in September.

Hi Ken, I was amazed with ‘World Without End’. It is most likely the best book I ever read (and I usually read about 30 a year). It's a complete masterpiece and my congratulations for creating such a great story!

Kind regards

I've just discovered you as a terrific writer. I've seen your name dozens of times, but never picked up one of your books...I am so glad that I now have. I started 'Eye of the Needle’ yesterday and I love it already.

Dear Mr Follett,
About 30 seconds ago I finished "The Pillars of the Earth". I am devastated. I found it without doubt the most enjoyable book I have ever read. It has affected my every action and thought since I read the first chapter. I am off to Winchester and Salisbury in the next few weeks. Thank you very much for the last month it has been fantastic.

Dear Ken: I read ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ a few years ago and was totally captivated but, ‘World Without End’ is amazing! My husband is currently reading it and he is up until all hours in the night because he can't put it down. Well done – you bring historical novels so incredibly alive. Stunning! Brilliant! Many, many thanks for writing this incredible story.

Best regards,

I gave my 12 year old grandson the ‘The Pillars of Earth’ to read. I thought it would be a change from the likes of Harry Potter and Avatar. Here is the comment he posted on Facebook:
"The book 'the pillars of the earth' changed my life it was the most influential single book in the history of man I am at a loss for words."
Thought you would like to know that this appealed to a pre-teen.
