![]() Nearby, a beautiful young widow fights against human traffickers while traveling illegally to Europe with the help of a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is. In the Sahara Desert, two elite intelligence agents are on the trail of a powerful group of drug-smuggling terrorists, risking their lives–and, when they fall desperately in love, their careers–at every turn. While I am more familiar with Follett as a historical fiction author rather than a contemporary thriller writer, this new book sounds pretty incredible and I cannot wait to read this compelling story. Never, which is currently set for release in early November 2021, will be an intense thriller that looks at modern events at a global level. As a result, I was happily surprised when I found out that Follett had a brand new book on the way, especially one that is going to be 800+ pages long (depending on the version). ![]() Since we only just got a Follett book last year, I honestly was not expecting the author to release another massive novel for at least a couple of years. Follett’s latest novel, The Evening and the Morning, a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth that presented a captivating and fascinating tale of survival, intrigue and love in the Dark Ages, was an extraordinary read and it was easily one of the best novels of 2020. Since then, Follett has gone on to write several other massive and detailed historical novels, including the outstanding Century trilogy, which chronicles the major events of the 20 th century, as well as sequels to The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End and A Column of Fire. The Pillars of the Earth is easily Follett’s most successful novel, spawning a major television adaptation with an all-star cast. However, he really came into prominence in the late 1980s when he wrote the epic historical fiction, The Pillars of the Earth, an iconic and powerful novel about a group of unique people in medieval England. Follett started writing back in the 1970s with several intriguing thriller novels, such as Capricorn One, Eye of the Needle and the Apple Carstairs series. Not only is he one of the best authors of historical fiction in the world today but he is also one of my all-time favourite authors. I have long been a fan of Ken Follett’s work. ![]() ![]() For my latest Waiting on Wednesday I take a look at an upcoming massive thriller than I am very confident is going to end up being one of the best books of 2021, Never by the always incredible Ken Follett. Stay tuned to see reviews of these books when I get a copy of them. I run this segment in conjunction with the Can’t-Wait Wednesday meme that is currently running at Wishful Endings. Welcome to my weekly segment, Waiting on Wednesday, where I look at upcoming books that I am planning to order and review in the next few months and which I think I will really enjoy. ![]()
