About the book
Expertly researched and visionary in scale, international no. 1 bestseller Ken Follett's Never is more than a thriller. It imagines a World War Three scenario we all hope never comes true, one which will keep you transfixed until the final page...
A stolen US army drone.
A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert.
A secret stash of deadly chemicals.
Each is a threat to global stability. Each can be overcome with only the highest levels of diplomacy. But when those in charge disagree and refuse to back down, an international chain reaction kicks off with potentially catastrophic consequences: a world edging closer to war...
Now three people must work with the utmost skill to stop that from happening:
A spy working undercover with jihadis.
A brilliant Chinese spymaster.
A US president beleaguered by a populist rival for the next election.
The only question is - in a game of brinksmanship, can the inevitable ever be stopped?
Praise for Never
Ken Follett can't write a bad book, and Never is his best. It's terrifying. I defy anyone to put it down once the last 150 pages are reached.
Absolutely compelling... A smart, scary, and all-too-plausible thriller.
Settle in for a thrilling ride.
Stunning... one of the most compelling reads of the year
A complex, scary thriller that feels too plausible for comfort. You’ll be so absorbed in the story threads that you’ll follow them anywhere-and you’ll suddenly realize you’ve read hundreds of pages... . On one level, it’s great entertainment; on another, a window into a sobering possibility.
Terrific... A powerful, commanding performance from one of the top writers in the genre.
Urgent and fiercely compelling... Never is first-rate entertainment that has something important to say. It deserves the popular success it will almost certainly achieve
