Notable People: Ken Follett
Title: Never
Review: Recommended to me by my friend and retired dentist, Kay H., this is one riveting read. I have never read the prolific Follett before, but will be delving into his long catalog of spy and political mysteries after reading this chronicle of a world on the brink of a third (Nuclear) World War. Set alternately in West Africa, Beijing and The White House as Pauline Green, the gritty successor to Trump tries to avert a global war with China. Absolutely fascinating behind the scenes look at how power, pride and insecurity can escalate to the worst possible outcomes. Extremely well written with great character development and an assortment go story lines merging simultaneously amid various global hot spots. Great read of 800 plus pages- that will go as fast as you let it.
