Ken Follett
As the Nazis bring Denmark to its knees, a resistance forms – and make a discovery that could turn the tide of war. From the master storyteller Ken Follett, Hornet Flight is a startling thriller set amidst the Danish Resistance of the Second World War.
Europe in Darkness
1941. The Nazis have Denmark in their vice-like grip, their malign presence corroding everything its inhabitants hold dear. Even the police betray their countrymen and work with the Gestapo to hunt down spies.
A Glimmer of Hope
In this hostile climate the Danish resistance discover a secret that could change the course of the war – proof of an advanced German radar installation that is causing catastrophic losses to Allied planes bringing the fight to Germany.
A Dangerous Mission
The resistance must get the information to the British and will have only one chance, using a near-derelict Hornet Moth bi-plane mouldering away in a church. If they succeed the balance of the war will be tipped in the Allies’ favour but failure will see them killed . . .
The story reminds us how recently the world as they knew it had crumbled suddenly around ordinary people, and it raises questions they would have had to face under German occupation- just as today we are beginning to have to face uncomfortable questions. As usual with Ken Follett the villain is nuanced and at first makes one partly sympathetic. The heroes are so scared so much of the time which makes their heroism credible and so admirable. And it kept me listening, enthralled. Rare these days.
Nothing could be taken for granted
