About this listen

The historical saga that has enthralled millions of fans, Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series continues with World Without End.

On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed.

As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day.

Ken Follett’s masterful epic The Pillars of the Earth enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. World Without End takes readers to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change.

World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.

Nice book, awesome story. Loved the way Ken Follett explains everything! Worth every minute. Though I enjoyed Pillars of the Earth more than this one.

Wonderful book narrated beautifully by John Lee!

Excellent follow from Pillars of the Earth. I went between the book and the audible since I was traveling a lot this past month and couldn’t put it down (or schlep such a big book. The performance was the best I have gotten from and audible to date and will seek out more books read by John Lee.

Book 2 just as good as the first, if not better

Just finished hearing this Spellbinding book and am left speechless! How is it possible for an author ( Ken Follet) to conceive such a story which is enigmatic, the complexity of the characters, their loves, lives, ambition, dispair, duplicity, cunning - all woven together skillfully, together with well researched history of the era. There is not a moment, a line, a page which does not impel one to keep on reading!
John Lee' s voice is superb, as well as compelling.
Just loved this book!
