My digital hold on this one popped up, so I decided to read it instead of the next October Daye installment. Plus, it was the 4th of July, so a spy novel felt like just the right thing, since the worthless oxygen-thief currently occupying Pennsylvania Avenue has basically invited Russian spies into ...

Und es war in dieser Welt, in der niemand wissen konnte, wie diese Freiheit auszusehen und wie man sie zu ge...
Es war einmal eine Welt, die dem Adel diente, sich in den engen Grenzen der Monarchie bewegte und in ihren moralischen Ansichten gefestigt war. Wer hätte gedacht, dass der Mordanschlag auf den österreichischen Thronfolger diese Welt in den Abgrund reisst? Keiner, manche oder jeder? Ken Follett packt...
