    Description

    The Sunday Times Thriller of the Month

    Expertly researched and visionary in scale, international number one best seller Ken Follett’s Never is more than a thriller. It imagines a scenario we all hope never comes true, one that will keep you transfixed until the final moments....

    A stolen US army drone.

    A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert.

    A secret stash of deadly chemicals.

    Each is a threat to the stability of the world but individually are problems that can be overcome. In the diplomatic arena though, everyone will have a different way of dealing with such a threat. And when those in charge disagree and refuse to back down, it will kick off an international chain reaction with potentially catastrophic consequences: a world edging closer to war....

    Now three people must work tirelessly and with the utmost skill to stop that from happening:

    A spy working undercover with jihadists.

    A brilliant Chinese spymaster.

    A US president beleaguered by a populist rival for the next election.

    The only question is, in a game of brinksmanship can the inevitable ever be stopped?

    ©2021 Ken Follett (P)2021 Macmillan Publishers International Ltd

    Commentaires

    Longwinded

    I imagine the abridged version would be a better listen. The narrator did a good job but I the storyline suffered a lot of longwinded unnecessary American love life deviations. I didn't mind listening to only one or two chapters a day unlike other Ken Follett novels where I could not stop.

    outstanding reality check

    extraordinary political reflection of where we are in the world today. A frightening account of a possible apocalyptic scenario...

    Here’s hoping this NEVER happens. But only time will tell. Great book from start to finish.

    Great Listen but Jesus Ken; leaving it there?

    I found this a good listen and generally enjoyed it although I found the bit of box ticking tiresome and I suspect Ken might be doing some sort of penance for previous sins of bias.
    But Ken, did you really have to leave it there? I suppose you did otherwise how would you end it but going from absolute tension to the end and nothing, wow. There must be a better way. I was hanging out to know how this was all going to work itself out to bang finished.

    A breathtaking story, that begins calmly and finishes with a very surprising ending. Very recomendable

    A building plot with feasible linked builds to a conclusion that is not expected by me

    World War III - Never

    This brilliantly narrated book is Ken Follett at his usual best. The only negative aspect of reading (listening to) a Ken Follett book, it is difficult to find a book of the same calibre to listen to after you have finished the book.

    Nun…

    Zuerst einmal, es war mein erster Follett und deshalb kann ich keinen Vergleich zu anderen Werken von ihm ziehen.
    Ich war gefesselt und sehr schockiert wie realistisch es sich anfühlte, die Nebenstories, wenn auch klischeehaft, haben mir sehr gefallen, insbesondere Abduls und Kiahs Story.
    Ich hätte mir ein ausführlicheres Ende gewünscht jedoch kann ich auch versuchen, den gewünschten Effekt auf den Leser des Vorhandenen zu verstehen.
    Die Grundstory des nuklearen Krieges hatte genau den Effekt auf mich, den ich mir gedacht hatte, Unverständnis, Schock und Angst. Wahrscheinlich viel näher an der traurigen Wahrheit als mir lieb ist.
    Fazit: fantastic storytelling.
    Als kleine Notiz am Rande: Ich habe mich für die Originalversion in englischer Sprache entschieden und war absolut begeistert von January LaVoy. Sie liest fantastisch!!!!

    Maybe the weakest Follet ever

    Full of inconsistencies and implausible events. Love stories around main story make it quite “trivial”

    The Story is very "close to home...". I hope, it is not a prophecy! Good speaker!

    I liked it a lot!

    In a nutshell: Good story, good characters, great narrator.
    Usually it takes a multi-thread story a couple hundred pages/ minutes until it all runs together and the story gains momentum. In this case every thread for itself is immediately entertaining and interesting. Whenever the story changed to another thread I was kind of upset because I wanted it to go on. But after a couple of paragraphs I was into the new line of the story and wanted that one to go on.
    Masterfully crafted and I hope sincerely that there is going to be a follow up, because the sudden end leaves me in suspense about the following minutes, days and maybe weeks and month to come for all the characters I got so much interested in.

    Das Buch ist erschreckend realistisch. Wenn man heutzutage die Nachrichten sieht, kann die Handlung leider jeden Tag wahr werden.

    Unfortunately the story was bone-dry and didn't catch me at all. Can't recommend listening.

    What a disappointment

    Typical american: if we could have communicated better, all this would not have happened.

    Missing all diplomatic channels beyond one person. Decisions aren’t made that isolated (not talking to your partner but sending bombs in their name… yeah… no) and decisions aren’t made that quickly.

    Its ludicrous and not the well known Follett at all. The writing style is still good, its the fantasy of the story thats just poor. Research within diplomatic groups, contact to the Chinese and their perception would have helped.

    I enjoyed some modern formulations. The reference to female characters and the side stories. Other than that, my head still hurts from all the unbelievable shaking.

    Da ist man besseres von Follett gewohnt

    Achtung - Spoileralarm !

    Also ich war enttäuscht. Gut: Die Geschichte ist realistischer als man es noch vor ein paar Monaten gedacht hätte. Die Charaktere sind schön herausgearbeitet und die Story ist schön erzählt. Aber die beiden Handlungsstränge haben einfach nichts miteinander zu tun. Es macht den Eindruck, als wolle man zwei Bücher in einem verbinden. Die Erwartung des Lesers, dass beides auch nur in irgendeiner Weise zusammenläuft, wird enttäuscht. Ohne nun zu viel zu spoilern wird auch in anderen Richtungen sehr aufwendig erzählt und Spannung aufgebaut, ohne dass dies irgendwo hin läuft. So ist es auch mit der Hauptgeschichte. Diese endet einfach ohne wirklich zu enden (lässt sich diskutieren, ok, aber ich fand es extrem unbefriedigend....). Alles wirkt, als habe Follett das Buch schon mit dem Plan eines zweiten Teils geschrieben und alles als Cliffhanger enden lassen. Schade.

    A frightening story in a frightening time

    Good story and an excellent narrator.
    One can only hope, something like that NEVER happens.
