never

Ken Follett's meticulously researched and insightful international bestseller, Never, is more than a thriller. It imagines a scenario we all wish would never come to pass, one that will keep you riveted until the last page... "Astonishing... one of the most gripping reads of the year" - Daily Express. A stolen US military drone. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert. A secret cache of deadly chemicals. Each poses a threat to global stability. Each can only be overcome by the highest levels of diplomacy. But when officials disagree and refuse to back down, an international chain reaction is set off with potentially catastrophic consequences: a world teeters on the brink of war... Now, three people must work with the utmost skill to stop it from happening: a spy working undercover with jihadists; a master Chinese spymaster; and a US president cornered by a populist rival in the upcoming election. The only question is: in this game of brinkmanship, can the inevitable be stopped? “Bold in scope and meticulously researched” - The Sunday Times. “Perhaps his finest work yet” - Stephen King. “Urgent and fiercely compelling” - The Washington Post. More than 175 million copies sold worldwide. Published in more than 80 countries and 37 languages. The global bestselling phenomenon is back.
