Summary
Eye of the Needle, Ken Follett's historical thriller, is a heart-racingly exciting tale about the fate of the war resting in the hands of a master spy, his opponent and one brave woman.
Victory Hangs in the Balance
1944. In the weeks leading up to D-Day the Allies are disguising their invasion plans with elaborate decoy ships and planes. If they can land a force on mainland Europe they will gain the upper hand in a war that has ravaged the world for years, and take the fight to the Nazi menace.
A Cold-Blooded Killer
His weapon is the stiletto, his codename: The Needle. He is Hitler’s prize undercover agent – a ruthless and professional murderer. In England he uncovers the Allies’ D-Day plans but his cover is blown in the process.
A Deadly Chase
Leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, The Needle ruthlessly races to a U-boat waiting to convey him and his critical message to Germany, with MI5 on his tail. But he hasn’t planned for a storm-battered island and the remarkable young woman who lives there . . .

Awesome
I had this audiobook about 25 years ago and I recall how good it was. As I'd forgotten the story, I thought I'd listen again. Absolutely awesome, love it and a superb performance by Samuel West

Wow.
A fantastic WW2 spy thriller. Sean Williams was the perfect narrator for a cool ruthless spy. I would recommend this book.

A brilliant world war 2 thriller
A brilliant world war 2 thriller that kept my interest throughout. Whilst there was no twists at such this was still very much a page turner.

Excellent
Story was brilliant and reading couldn’t have been any better. Fantastic. Will be ordering another Ken Follet next. Have also read the Pillars of the Earth. Can’t say how much I enjoyed that as well.

As good as I remember…….
I read this at boarding school when it first came out in paperback and I was captivated by the story. This audiobook is a great representation and I think the performance is good if a little understated.

Excellent rollicking story
Preposterous story but it didn’t matter. Time went so quickly whilst listening. You end up cheering for the anti hero. Decent ending also. I listened to this after some of his later works which was a shame as this was the best of his novels as similar baddie and
romance formula. Worth a listen though definitely.
