    About this audiobook

    The study of twins and the genetics of aggression totally consumes research scientist Jeannie Ferrami. An accomplished and headstrong researcher, Jeannie has developed a sophisticated software program to identify identical twins reared apart. But Jeannie's breakthrough project is threatened by the appearance of a sudden impossibility--identical twins born weeks apart to different mothers at separate locations. When Jeannie's research assistant, Lisa, is raped, Steve Logan, a young law student who is one of Jeannie's research subjects, is identified in a police lineup as Lisa's attacker. Logan's genetic tests reveal no violent behavior patterns. Then Jeannie stumbles upon the beginnings of a stunning revelation. Logan is unaware of the existence of a criminal twin brother in jail. Jeannie is convinced of Steve's innocence, yet her judgment may be clouded by her growing emotional attachment to him. By now Jeannie's problems are mounting. Berrington Jones, Jeannie's arrogant and intimidating boss, is a world-renowned authority on biotechnical engineering. He and his partners are involved in devious but lucrative negotiations to sell Genetco, their biogenetic research company. Jeannie's research poses a major threat to their impending millions. Jones arranges to have Jeannie fired.

    Stunned and feeling helpless, Jeannie doesn't understand why this has happened to her. With Steve and his brother in jail, who is committing these sex crimes? While acting on a hunch that might solve the mystery surrounding Steve and his brother's birth, Jeannie is violently attacked by yet another twin who looks exactly like Steve. Determined to protect her research program and convinced her former boss has something important to hide, a terrified Jeannie has no other choice but to find out why Jones and his partners will stop at nothing to discredit her work.

    Ken Follett

    Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering into journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy - a body of work which together chronicles over a thousand years of history - and his latest novel Never - which envisages how World War III could happen - have sold more than 188 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.

    • 3/5
      Another Ken Follett thriller with the usual blend of overstated, oversexed characters, skin-tight prose and intricate, high-wire suspense.

      Not as good, in my opinion, as his medieval epics or World War II espionage novels. In this one, the setting is contemporary (1990s) and the subject matter is genetic engineering.

      Preposterous but enjoyable. Like riding a roller coaster that's failed a few inspections: Great ride; so long as you don't worry what's holding it all up.
    • 4/5
      A Follett Masterpiece again!
    • 1/5
      Horrendous and entirely unbelievable execution of an interesting story idea.
    • 4/5
      This was a delicious novel encompassing some of my favorite genres seamlessly. I found it nearly impossible to put down.
    • 5/5
      This is an intriguing story, putting forward the proposition of what might happen if human cloning were possible. In this case the result of a secret US military program, which comes to light after a rape, when DNA tests show someone to be guilty who claims he didn't commit the crime.
    • 4/5
      Entertaining read for relaxation, holiday etc. Easy to pick up with plenty of twists and turns albeit there is predictability in the story line.
    • 4/5
      A scientific thriller that had me in suspense from the minute I opened it.
    • 3/5
      The Third Twin was a good read. The plot kept on moving and it was worth the time to read it.
    • 5/5
      First read in 2013. A great thriller woven around the science of genetics, military and criminal misuse of invitro-fertilisation to breed the perfect "American", "soldier".
    • 5/5
