Edge of Eternity is the epic, final novel in Ken Follett's captivating and hugely ambitious Century trilogy. On its own or in sequence with Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, this is an irresistible and spellbinding epic about the fight for personal freedom set during the Cold War.
A Fight Against Injustice
1961, and in the United States George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration and fierce supporter of the civil rights movement, boards a Greyhound bus in Washington with Verena, an employee of Martin Luther King whom he is in love with, to protest against segregation.
A Rising Tide of Danger
In East Germany, teacher Rebecca Hoffmann finds her entire life has been a lie as she is targeted by the secret police, even as her younger brother, Walli, dreams of escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain. In Russia, activist Tania Dvorkin narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news-sheet, her actions all the more perilous because her brother, Dimka, is an emerging star of the Communist Party.
A Cold War That Could Eliminate the World Forever
In a sweeping tale that began in 1911, the descendants of five families will now find their true destiny as they fight for their individual freedom in a world facing the mightiest clash of superpowers it has ever seen.
Kritikerstimmen
"The true historical events are probably the most exciting bits to read, because Follett always gives his puppet eye-witnesses an excellent vantage point from which to recount them." (Private Eye)

It is 1944 and weeks before D-day. The Allies are disguising their invasion plans with a phony armada of ships and planes. Their plan would be ruined if an enemy agent found out...and then The Needle - Hitler’s prize undercover agent, a cold and professional killer - does just that. Hunted by MI5, he leads a murderous trail across Britain to a waiting U-boat. But he hasn't planned for a storm-battered island and the remarkable young woman who lives there.

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.

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

It is June 1941 and Denmark is under German occupation. On the rocky coast of Denmark, two brothers, Harald and Arne Olufsen, starkly different in nature, are straining against the rigid confines imposed by their austere, elderly parents and trying to find their own way in life. Meanwhile, a network of MI6 spies is attempting to decipher an encrypted Luftwaffe radio signal which mentions the new Freya-Gerät - a rudimentary form of German radar equipment.

Zu viel von Allem
Das Buch ist auf jeden Fall ein kurzweiliger Geschichtsunterricht – speziell in der zweiten Hälfte aber so komprimiert, dass die Geschichten der einzelnen Charaktere nur noch sehr oberflächlich und im Sauseschritt erzählt werden.
Es ist sicher hilfreich, wenn auch Geschmackssache, wenn Sprecher allen Figuren eine eigene Stimme verleihen. Ich persönlich fand aber sehr nervtötend, dass alle russischen und deutschen Charaktere durchgehend, und zwar auch untereinander, mit entsprechendem Akzent sprechen, was 2/3 des Buches ausmacht ...

Grandioser Abschluss der Jahrhundert-Trilogie!
Wieder mal eine wunderbare Geschichtsstunde verpackt in den Mantel eines grandiosen Romans. Konnte das Hörspiel kaum pausieren, so spannend ist auch der dritte und letzte Teil der Jahrhundert-Saga.
An alle, die die anderen beiden Bände nicht kennen: Sie sind keinesfalls Voraussetzung für das Verständnis dieses Teils, aber lohnen sich genauso.

Great story, nice to follow these families...
... throughout the 20th century. Great way to learn history. Pity though that Mr. Follet‘s (in my opinion) sometimes wrong opinions more than shine through.
He touched so many topics but left out the scourge of the second half of the century: abortion, especially when it is so much targeting black people in the US.

Wonderful
Well, I have been there in Berlin at the F*** wall in Nov 1989 and was again deeply moved by KF's story. His description of the political and by means of the Iron Wall physical division of the world and especially Europe brings to mind a few of those tragedies that arouse from this non-humane pride of the right political concept on both sides. Thank God nothing even worse developed from it...

Erstklassig, dramatisch, emotional + Bildungswert!
Was hat Ihnen am allerbesten an Edge of Eternity gefallen?
Bei der gesamten "Century-Triology" handelt sich m.E. um das Meisterwerk von Ken Follett: Auf unglaublich spannende, beeindruckende und bewegende Weise wird die Geschichte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts mit all seinem Elend und Errungenschaften erzählt (in diesem Buch ca. 1950-2000). Geschickt verwebt Ken Follett die Ereignisse mit den persönlichen Schicksalen von 5 Familien in Deutschland, Großbritannien, Russland und den USA, sodass alles hautnah aus der Perspektive einfacher Menschen als auch politischer Entscheider vermittelt wird. Etwa alle 30-40 Minuten gibt es einen emotionalen und dramatischen Höhepunkt, der einem nicht selten die Tränen in die Augen treibt. Die Triologie vermittelt so hervorragend die Grundlagen unserer jüngeren Geschichte und die Entwicklung unseres Moral- und Wertesystems und ist daher neben erstklassiger Unterhaltung auch eine exzellente Auffrischung wichtiger Allgemeinbildung, die im Schulunterricht meist viel zu trocken behandelt wurde und bei vielen daher zu schnell in Vergessenheit geraten sein dürfte!
Wie hat Ihnen John Lee als Sprecher gefallen? Warum?
John Lee gehört wohl zu den besten englischsprachigen Vorlesern. Seine klare, deutliche und äußerst wohlklingende Stimme ist immer wieder ein Genuss. Bei diesem Werk läuft aber aber geradezu zur Höchstform auf, wenn er verschiedene englische Dialekte (Englisch, Walisisch, Amerikanisch, Cockney, ...) und internationale Dialekte (russisch, deutsch, französisch etc.) performt. Durch Ken Folletts gut verständlichen Schreibstil und John Lees klare Aussprache ist es auch für Nicht-Muttersprachler absolut hörenswert und verständlich!
