About this listen

 William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless polish immigrant-born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world - are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream. Two men - ambitious, powerful, ruthless - are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fueled by their all-consuming hatred. Over 60 years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have...©1979, 2009 Jeffrey Archer (P)2009 Macmillan Audio Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Thriller & Suspense Fiction War

I read this book years ago and I listened to it recently on holiday in Europe. I very much enjoyed the twists and turns Mr Archer takes with his characters. Family, feuds, intriqué and in the end a bitter sweet ending. Historically mostly accurate as well.

Doesn’t disappoint even 30 years later

Jeffrey Archer is a storyteller extraordinaire. This tale of 2 boys, born on the very same day, on opposite parts of the world and into completely opposed circumstances is gripping and exciting. Two men, who might have been the best of friends, but because of circumstance became bitter enemies. The characters are well developed and each loved (or hated) intensely by the reader. Just a wonderful tale. The reading by Jason Culp was excellent too. Highly recommend!

This is the first Jeffrey Archer book that I have read. It is a good story, well told and narrated, juxtaposing a European life with an American one of two very different men whose paths cross in their adult years. Excessive pride and revenge consume the two men with a sad but poignant ending. It is an easy listen and I enjoyed it.

A classic, still relevant today.

As the story continued, I wished it could gone on forever. Every story must end.

Wished it never ended
