Publisher Description
New York Times Bestseller
The new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, it’s 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 doesn’t get fixed.” So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Follett’s nerve-racking drama of international tension.
A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country’s 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.
Customer Reviews
Great Book…. Perhaps a slight Left-leaning slant from the author, however.
Author may be a little Left-leaning but, audiobook is really good. Narration is great!
Never
The best book I have ever listen to!
Wow, what a novel
I loved this book, despite the sobering theme. I appreciated how the author focused on a few select people and told the story through their eyes. Without belaboring descriptions of violence or military specifications, the author was able to paint a vivid picture of the failure of diplomacy. Excellent excellent excellent.
