From the visionary mind of number one worldwide bestseller Ken Follett, Never imagines the unimaginable: the imminent threat of World War Three. In this gripping contemporary novel, Follett masterfully weaves a tale that is as thrilling as it is alarming, offering readers a vivid portrayal of a world on the brink of unfathomable crisis.

Set against a sprawling global stage, Never takes readers on an adrenaline-fuelled journey starting from the scorching sands of the Sahara Desert to the complex political chessboards of North America and East Asia. Through meticulous research and expansive storytelling, Follett crafts a high-stakes narrative where international tensions reach a boiling point, and every decision has monumental consequences.

In the heart of the desert, a covert operation unfolds with far-reaching implications, while in the corridors of power, diplomats and world leaders engage in a frantic race against time to avert a catastrophe. With the clock ticking, a diverse cast of characters, including a dedicated CIA operative, an ambitious US president, and a determined Chinese intelligence officer, must navigate an intricate web of geopolitical intrigue and personal sacrifice to prevent the unthinkable.

Much more than a traditional thriller, Never immerses readers into a scenario that is eerily plausible and terrifyingly real. Follett, a world-renowned author at the pinnacle of his craft, intricately blends suspense, drama, and a deeply human element, making this novel a powerful tour de force. As the narrative hurtles towards a breathtaking climax, it challenges us to ponder the fragility of peace and the dire consequences of global conflict.

Never stands as a potent reminder of the thin line between peace and war, and the extraordinary measures heroes must take to safeguard the future. This is a story that will keep you transfixed until the very last page and resonate with you long after you’ve turned the final leaf. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable reading experience that explores the depths of human resilience and the perennial quest for survival in a world edging ever closer to disaster.
