New York Times Bestseller The new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, its an action-packed, globe-spanning drama set in the present day. A compelling story, and only too realistic. --Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesnt get fixed. So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Folletts nerve-racking drama of international tension. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one countrys secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election. Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable.Ken Follett is one of the worlds best-loved authors, selling more than 170 million copies of his thirty-two books. Folletts first bestseller was Eye of the Needle, a spy story set in the Second World War. In 1989, The Pillars of the Earth was published and has since become Folletts most popular novel. It reached number one on bestseller lists around the world and was an Oprahs Book Club pick. Its sequels, World Without End and A Column of Fire, proved equally popular, and the Kingsbridge series has sold more than forty million copies worldwide. Follett lives in Hertfordshire, England, with his wife, Barbara. Between them they have five children, six grandchildren, and two Labradors.Book specifications:Dimensions: 213 x 137Author: Ken FollettCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 6Pages: 816Language: EnglishPublisher: Penguin BooksWeight: 898 g
