NEVER
From Amazon:
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.
