<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, it's an action-packed, globe-spanning drama set in the present day. <p/> "A compelling story, and only too realistic." --Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary <p/> </b>"Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn't get fixed." So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Follett's nerve-racking drama of international tension. <p/> A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country's secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis. <p/> Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election. <p/> <i>Never</i> is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and a delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A complex, scary thriller that feels too plausible for comfort. You'll be so absorbed in the story threads that you'll follow them anywhere--and you'll suddenly realize you've read hundreds of pages. . . . On one level, it's great entertainment; on another, a window into a sobering possibility." <br><i>--Kirkus </i>(starred)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ken Follett is one of the world's best-loved authors, selling more than 178 million copies of his thirty-six books.
