Ken Follett burst onto the book world in 1978 with Eye of the Needle, a taut and original thriller with a memorable woman character in the central role. The book won the Edgar award and became an outstanding film.
He went on to write four more bestselling thrillers: Triple; The Key to Rebecca; The Man from St Petersburg; and Lie Down with Lions.
He also wrote On Wings of Eagles, the true story of how two employees of Ross Perot were rescued from Iran during the revolution of 1979. This book was made into a miniseries.
He then surprised readers by radically changing course with The Pillars of the Earth, a novel about building a cathedral in the Middle Ages. Published in September 1989 to rave reviews, it was on the New York Times bestseller list for eighteen weeks. It also reached the No. 1 position on lists in Canada, Great Britain and Italy, and was on the German bestseller list for six years.

评分如果说《巨人的陨落》是一部写尽人类100年辉煌历史的史诗级巨著,那么《飞剪号奇航》就是一场历时33小时越洋航行的悬疑大戏,这一次肯•福莱特完美地将绝境下人类内心隐秘的欲望和命运纠葛浓缩在这部悬疑小说中。 坦白讲,我的最佳动作悬疑小说书单已经有几十个,而我把这本...
