About this ebook

Jeffrey Archer's thrilling historical fiction novel, Kane and Abel, is a global phenomenon that has captivated readers worldwide, spawning two sequels and dominating bestseller charts the world over.

Two strangers born worlds apart with one destiny that will define them both.

William Lowell Kane, the son of a Boston millionaire, and Abel Rosnovski, the son of a penniless Polish immigrant, are born on the same day on opposite sides of the world and brought together by fate and the quest of a dream.

Locked in a relentless struggle spanning sixty years and three generations, the two men battle for supremacy in pursuit of an empire, fuelled only by their hatred for the other and the knowledge it will end in triumph for one, and destruction of the other . . .

‘If there were a Nobel Prize for storytelling, Archer would win’ - The Daily Telegraph

After reading this book like 5 times it still leaves me perplexed.. you cannot compare this book to any other book.. the end is shocking and only till you don't read the book till its last page you will realise the true beauty of the book.. the plot, the execution, and the beauty of the book cannot be compared to anything.. now after reading Kane and Abel I don't think I will be able to read any other book. the link between Kane and Abel will keep you lying in the bed with eyes wide open the time you finish

A story entrenched in WW 1 and 2 full of the wits and fancies. A book very difficult to put down, before the end game . And the author, Jeffrey Archer, without wasting a single word, in the entire book is really a Master story teller.
