New York Times bestseller
A new must-read epic by storyteller Ken Follett: More than just a thriller, it’s an action-packed global drama.
“A compelling story, just too realistic.” – Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary
“Every disaster starts with a small problem that is not resolved,” U.S. President Pauline Green said in Follett’s dance drama international tensions.
The Oasis in the Sahara Desert shrinks; stolen U.S. Army drones; an uninhabited Japanese island; and a secret hiding of deadly chemical poisons in a country: all of these roles in the relentlessly escalating crisis.
Working to prevent the outbreak of the world war was a young female intelligence officer. A spy who works with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese competitor; Pauline itself is the next presidential election besieged by populist rivals.
Never been an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, tired politicians and opportunist revolutionaries. It fills our time with discreet wisdom and provides an intestinal, inspiring reading that takes readers to the unimaginable edge.
