The new must-read epic from master writer Ken Follett: an action-packed, globe-spanning spy thriller about brinkmanship, impossible decisions, and the unforeseen consequences that could lead to the next world war

"When I was doing the research for Fall of Giants I was shocked to realize that the First World War was a war that nobody wanted. No European leader on either side intended it to happen. But the emperors and prime ministers, one by one, made decisions-logical, moderate decisions-each of which took us a small step closer to the most terrible conflict the world had ever known. I came to believe that it was all a tragic accident.

And I wondered: Could that happen again?"-Ken Follett

In the Sahara Desert, two elite intelligence agents are on the trail of a powerful group of drug-smuggling terrorists, risking their lives-and, when they fall desperately in love, their careers-at every turn. Nearby, a beautiful young widow fights against human traffickers while traveling illegally to Europe with the help of a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is.

In China, a senior government official with vast ambitions for himself and his country battles against the older Communist hawks in the government, who may be pushing China-and its close military ally, North Korea-to a place of no return.

And in the United States, Pauline Green, the country's first woman president, navigates terrorist attacks, illegal arms trading, and the smear campaigns of her blustering political opponent with careful and deft diplomacy. She will do everything in her power to avoid starting an unnecessary war. But when one act of aggression leads to another, the most powerful countries in the world are caught in a complex web of alliances they can't escape. And once all the sinister pieces are in place, can anyone-even those with the best of intentions and most elite skills-stop the inevitable?

Never is an extraordinary thriller, 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.

Story Locale: Chad, China, North Korea, America (Washington DC)

Über den Autor
Ken Follett is one of the world's best-loved authors, selling more than 170 million copies of his thirty-two books. Follett's 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 Follett's most popular novel. It reached number one on bestseller lists around the world and was an Oprah's 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.
Zusammenfassung
A GEOPOLITICAL THRILLER WRITTEN IN FOLLETT'S SIGNATURE EPIC STYLE: This high-stakes, action-packed thriller will appeal to fans of Vince Flynn's Red War and Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising and The Sum of All Fears, as well as Follett's earlier spy thrillers like Jackdaws and Eye of the Needle. But the style is pure Follett, with strong, well-developed characters whose storylines intersect in satisfying ways, meticulous and rich detail, and more than a touch of romance.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Follett's most recent three novels have debuted at #1 on the NYT list, with The Evening and the Morning shipping more than 365k copies in hardcover in the first three months on sale. This is a writer at the very top of his game, with a devoted and massive audience.

DARING SUBJECT-THAT HE PULLS OFF: Inspired by the fact that no one actually wanted to fight World War I, Follett sets out here to explore how the world today might unwillingly bring itself to World War III, taking his cues from real-life conflicts between China and the US, North and South Korea, and Sudan and Chad, and making every side's actions understandable. It's a frighteningly believable premise with a shocking ending.
