About this listen
The Sunday Times Thriller of the Month
Expertly researched and visionary in scale, international number one best seller Ken Follett’s Never is more than a thriller. It imagines a scenario we all hope never comes true, one that will keep you transfixed until the final moments....
A stolen US army drone.
A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert.
A secret stash of deadly chemicals.
Each is a threat to the stability of the world but individually are problems that can be overcome. In the diplomatic arena though, everyone will have a different way of dealing with such a threat. And when those in charge disagree and refuse to back down, it will kick off an international chain reaction with potentially catastrophic consequences: a world edging closer to war....
Now three people must work tirelessly and with the utmost skill to stop that from happening:
A spy working undercover with jihadists.
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?

"A stunning thriller and one of the most compelling reads of the year." (Daily Express)

NEVER.. For Our Children
The accumulation of seemingly unrelated issues marching slowly & inexorably towards the unseen abyss. The way the story is put together & how quietly it is written only enhances the terrible methodical reality of how these happenings come to pass. Ken Follet is a Master Storyteller.

My best Ken Follett book so far. I could not stop listening.
I don’t like cliff hanger endings, but this was a brilliant end to this thriller.

This is a potential history I never want to occur
A building plot with feasible linked builds to a conclusion that is not expected by me

Great Listen but Jesus Ken; leaving it there?
I found this a good listen and generally enjoyed it although I found the bit of box ticking tiresome and I suspect Ken might be doing some sort of penance for previous sins of bias.
But Ken, did you really have to leave it there? I suppose you did otherwise how would you end it but going from absolute tension to the end and nothing, wow. There must be a better way. I was hanging out to know how this was all going to work itself out to bang finished.

If you begin, you will hardly be able to stop
A breathtaking story, that begins calmly and finishes with a very surprising ending. Very recomendable

Wonderful creation
Follet at his best with great new emphasis in developing female characters as main figures. And still, my hart sank at the end…

Slow with strange ending
The story and characters developed too slowly for me. There were 3 main storylines/characters however they never actually had any relevance to each other or entwined properly.
The end was a HUGE let down. I couldn’t believe that was it! As others have said, it was as though he got bored with the book or he had completed the required number of pages and just stopped writing!! The mind boggles.
