The Needle

Just finished reading Ken Follet’s, “The Needle.” Wow, the best spy book I have ever read. This book takes place shortly before the Normandy Landing in WW2, where the allies are desperately trying to keep secret their initial strike location. A German spy who could ruin it all is frantically trying to get back to his motherland and an entire country races to stop him. I like this book because he writes spies not as techno-geeks with 101 gadgets, but as smart, deceiving agents who knows how to manipulate people to achieve their goals. If you like this genera, I highly suggest you pick this up. Its been out for a while so you may be able to buy it second hand.
