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.
September 1939. England is at war with Nazi Germany. In Southampton, the world’s most luxurious airliner—the legendary Pan Am clipper—takes off for its final flight to neutral America. Aboard are the cream of society and the dregs of humanity, all fleeing the war for reasons of their own…shadowed by a danger they do not know exists…and heading straight into a storm of violence, intrigue, and betrayal…

評分 評分好些錯彆字,一個句子裏麵字的順序前後調轉,甚至有翻來覆去看好幾遍都不知道在講什麼的句子,以及甚至猜不齣正確的字是什麼的錯彆字。忍住忍住不吐槽這個垃圾翻譯,現在終於忍不住瞭——平步青雲這個成語竟然可以用來形容在飛機上平穩地行走?這不止是翻譯差,連基本的文學水...
評分There are many characters in this book. But since it is a Ken Follett book, there can never be too many characters. Some of the Clipper passengers, like Lulu Bell (a film star) and Lavinia Bazarov (a princess), affix prestige to the plane. Others, like Harr...

The happenings on an airborne Titanic-Boeing B-314 Clipper-right after Britian declared war on Germany. Multi-level sexual arousals, interwoven conspiracies, quite explosive. I've held my breath all the way even though I know it can't end badly. Women are adorable in their own way, the men... they are all too romantic to be true : | Follett's nice.
