What a great read! Highly recommended! I was shocked to find no movie was made of this beautifully-plotted, highly-visual spy-action thriller.

"Triple" just moved to the top of my list of best action-thrillers, & I have read scores of them. Why?

(a) based on fact. Action-thriller-readers must admit in their heart of hearts that a very good read based in historical fact leaps to the top of the pile for its credibility factor. See Elaine Davenport's non-fiction book 'The Plumbat Affair', published one year prior. Evidence suggests that something very like this in fact occurred.
(b)fictionalized in true novelistic fashion: the author brings the story to the reader with a handful of well-motivated, relatable characters who develop as the plot progresses-- including a love interest tied integrally into the plot, which keeps one turning pages for an extra reason.
(c)tho action takes place primarily in late '60's, includes this nostalgic touch for longtime spy-novel-readers: grounds all in '40's Oxford setting.
(d)remains relevant to 21st-C readers: explores roots of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the tinder for all subsequent conflagration, studying characters on both sides of the divide.

Moderately enjoyable thriller. Though relationships and character decisions totally ludicrous. Has muddled political leanings too.

Ken Follett racconta ancora una volta una vicenda avvincente con il suo stile fatto di suspence e azione. Da una parte ci sono gli inganni e i doppiogiochisti, dall'altra l'amore caratterizzato dalla solita nota sensuale tipica dello scrittore. Ciò che rende la storia più entusiasmante è il rilevante interesse storico in quanto è collocata alle origini del conflitto tra Israele e Palestina, e, come viene spiegato da Ken Follett, tratta di un'operazione di spionaggio sicuramente romanzata, mai verificata da nessuno, ma documentata in parte da un misterioso articolo di giornale del Daily Telegraph.

Tiene una temática dífícil de digerir y la narrativa es demasiado peliculera. En líneas generales, hay exceso de extras, es difícil conectar con los personajes, y que no falte la subtrama romántica metida con calzador. El resultado es una novela bastante mediocre.
