Number-one New York Times best-seller.
“Absorbing...impossible to resist.” (The Washington Post)
As Europe erupts, can one young spy protect his queen? Number-one New York Times best-selling author Ken Follett takes us deep into the treacherous world of powerful monarchs, intrigue, murder, and treason with his magnificent new epic, A Column of Fire.
A thrilling listen that makes the perfect gift for the holidays.
In 1558, the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, royalty and commoners clash, testing friendship, loyalty, and love.
Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious conflict dividing the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch sets up the country's first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions, and invasion plans. Over a turbulent half century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. Elizabeth clings to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of resourceful spies and courageous secret agents.
The real enemies, then as now, are not the rival religions. The true battle pitches those who believe in tolerance and compromise against the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everyone else - no matter what the cost.
Set during one of the most turbulent and revolutionary times in history, A Column of Fire is one of Follett's most exciting and ambitious works yet. It will delight longtime fans of the Kingsbridge series and is the perfect introduction for listeners new to Ken Follett.
Kritikerstimmen
“Deeply researched...compelling.... A Column of Fire is absorbing, painlessly educational, and a great deal of fun.” (The Washington Post)
“Follett’s historical epics, including this one, evoke the Romantic adventures of Alexandre Dumas. Derring-do and double-crosses.... A Column of Fire burns bright throughout.” (The Christian Science Monitor)
“An immersive journey through the tumultuous world of 16th century Europe and some of the bloodiest religious wars in history. Follett’s sprawling novel is a fine mix of heart-pounding drama and erudite historicism.” (Publishers Weekly)

Geschichte
Triple is the story of the most successful espionage coup - and best-kept secret - of this century. This taut espionage thriller comes from master of the genre, Ken Follett. It is 1968. Israeli intelligence has learned that Egypt, with Soviet help, will develop atomic bombs within months - an untimely end for the young nation unless a source of uranium for Israeli bombs can be had in complete secrecy. Impossible, of course, unless someone as improbable as the plan can be found to steal it.

Alice is stifled, bored, and misunderstood. So when she meets wealthy and handsome American, Bennett Van Cleve, she is quickly swept off her feet. Marrying him and moving to America seems like a great adventure - but life as a newlywed in stuffy Baileyville, Kentucky, is not at all what she hoped for. Until, that is, she responds to a call for volunteers to start a travelling library, surprising herself by saying yes, before her husband can say no.

Follett meets Gable
Bei der Fülle an realen Personen und Ereignissen erwartet man fast das ein Waringham um die Ecke biegt...
Da Kingsbridge nur am Rande auftaucht, ist die Werbung als "Kingsbridge Novel" etwas weit hergeholt. Trotzdem wieder ein langer historischer Roman von Ken Follett dem man gerne stundenlang folgt. Dazu trägt auch der bekannte Sprecher bei.

Nur etwas für einfache Seelen
So angenehm John Lees Stimme ist, seine Modulation, die unerschöpfliche Vielfalt der Charaktere, die er schafft, Ken Folletts Geschichte haftet der Nimbus eines Groschenromans an.
Wie bei Marvel Comics pfercht Follett die Großen in sein Geflecht hinein, dabei sind die immer wieder neuen Entwicklungen eher ermüdend denn unterhaltend, wie anders sollte man 30h Hörzeit zusammen kriegen. Ich habe es nicht bis zum Schluß geschafft.

Gigantischer Geschichtsepos
Zu Beginn des Buches waren es viele Charaktere, deren unterschiedlicher Geschichten der Hörer aufmerksam folgen muss, um gut in das Hörbuch hineinzukommen.
Das großartig erzählte Werk von Ken Follett handelt von den Erlebnissen unterschiedlicher Protagonisten vor dem Hintergrund katholischer und protestantischer Auseinandersetzungen. Für mich war das sehr interessant zu verfolgen, obwohl ich mich damit noch nie beschäftigt habe. Unterhaltsam waren vor allem die Lebensgeschichten der Hauptcharaktere, der Hörer darf ihre Erlebnisse von der Jugend bis ins hohe Alter (wenn nicht vorzeitig gestorben) miterleben.
