Absolutely Mindblowing !!!!!
The pace, the story, the linking, the description, … almost everything about this novel is just …. whoa ….
The story is fast paced, never even-a-bit boring, interestingly narrated, it pins you down to your couch/chair/bed, whereever you are reading it, and keeps you engrossed. Even when you’ve put the book down to finish your other work(s), the story keeps popping up at the back of your mind – what’s gonna happen next ????
The book takes you through the lives of William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski (originally christened as Wladek Koskiewicz). Their childhood, youth, jobs, family life, how their paths crossed, and how the story enfolds … you’ve got to read it to believe it. Two men, born on the same day, grown up under very different conditions, working in very different jobs but driven by a common goal … to destroy each other.
One of the most engrossing novels I’ve read so far.
My take: Must Read !!! You won’t regret it.

Awesome stuff-
I read this book about 12 years ago and have never forgotten about it. It was one of the first books by Archer that I read; and really love his work since then.
Nice for reminding us about it. I should even get the publishers to send us a copy for review on our site.
Hi Helen,
WOW !!! you had the privilege 12 years ago … I just gotta lay my eyes and hands on this one
And yes, this is one of my first books by Archer as well.
I am planning to read “Prisoner of Birth” next … any ideas about that one ?
Hmmm….can you lend me the book???
