Summary

Kane & Abel for a new generation!!

They had only one thing in common - William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant. Two men born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, their paths were destined to cross in the ruthless struggle to build a fortune.

The marvellous story, spanning 60 years, of two powerful men linked by an all-consuming hatred, brought together by fate to save - and finally destroy - each other.

Classic tale well delivered

A great tale of ambition, rivalry, revenge and tragedy brought to life by a good narrator. I found his narration a bit stilted when it wasn’t dialogue, but his voices and accents were great.

I hadn’t read this for about 30 years so had forgotten some of the plot and it was lovely to get lost in this again.

Kane and Abel - Fantastic

This is such a great Listen, Compelling and engaging from the start to the finish. I was not a fan of Archer as a politician, but as a writer he tells great stories.

Incredible

One of my favourite stories ever. amazing in all respects. It's got very detailed and believable characters with a storyline only Jeffrey Archer could make up. Very well narrated.

Way better than I expected

I was really surprised at how good this is and it translates to audiobook well. The characters are excellent and even though the plot is obvious it still retains interest.

An entertaining story that is somewhat predictable

An entertaining story that is somewhat predictable. It's well read and engaging nonetheless. It's not a memorable story but is worth listening to.
