Another enjoyable read. I do prefer his fiction books to this one, and found it a bit odd that he wrote it. However, it was in many ways a classic Follett and I read it in just a few hours. The true story of how Ross Perot (and his money and connections) got his imprisoned workers out of Iran, back in the days when no one was safe there due to the revolution.

When two of his American employees were held hostage in Iran, H. Ross Perot and a select group of his employees took matters into their own hands. Only Ross Perot could make this happen. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared. . . .

EadieB ☝🏻This is a fast-paced adventure story that kept the pages turning until the very end. Only Follett could write this book and do it justice. Hard to believe that it is a true story but I do remember when it happened in 1978. This book is not to be missed. It is a marvelous rare read! 4y
ljuliel I remember reading this year ago. Quite an exciting true life story, back in the days where one guy could get things moving when he couldn‘t get help through the proper channels. 4y

Our February #KenFollettBuddyRead is something completely different. It‘s a true story about the Middle East hostage crises. Supposed to be another good one! Follett surely is a versatile author.
