Publisher's Summary

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?

I like John Lee’s narration for Ken Follett’s books but this one is rightly narrated by January LaVoy.
Amazing story!! Till the last moment you would be on edge.
All country leaders should also read it…

Surprisingly Unusual

Very classic high quality KF narrative with mind numbing end. A very brave but necessary experience. The audio narration quality is remarkably good.

Crazy ending

Didn't expect the ending. Definitely a surprise or I should say shock. Kudos to the narrator for doing a wonderful job at bringing all the main characters to life.

Brilliant Plot

Story line is based on war politics. Brilliantly handled the tempo till the end. Superb narration. Resembles the present Russia War on Ukraine.

One of Ken Follett’s best!

Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the narration! An absolute thriller! Loved the way the narrator modulates the various voices of the characters. Made it thoroughly enjoyable to listen.

good read, loved the content.

the narrator's performance is commendable, thoroughly enjoyed the book, more so because of the voice modulation, suspense buildup by the narrator.
