of his works. Century Trilogy books are my favorites. Awesome grasp of history and human nature, with the talent to weave it all into credible gripping fiction

Loved the Kingsbridge series and look forward to the prequel.

Follet is among the writers who make me think,"What an amazing mind" when I finish a series like the Century Trilogy. Another writer who inspires that reaction in me is Herman Wouk (Winds of War, War and Remembrance).

Other Follet books I've read; Eye of the Needle; Man from St. Petersburg; The Third Twin; Hammer of Eden; Jackdaws; Hornet Flight; and Whiteout.
