Edge Of Eternity

Beskrivelse

Edge of Eternity is the thrilling conclusion to Ken Follett's Century trilogy, weaving a powerful story set against the backdrop of the Cold War. Whether read alone or alongside Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, it delivers a gripping tale of personal freedom and historic change.

An epic saga of family, freedom, and the turbulent Cold War era.

Set in 1961, the story follows several characters caught in the era’s political and social upheavals. In the United States, George Jakes, a talented young lawyer working in the Kennedy administration and devoted civil rights advocate, joins Verena, who works for Martin Luther King and is also his love interest, on a Greyhound bus protest against segregation.

Meanwhile, in East Germany, teacher Rebecca Hoffmann faces terrifying truths as the secret police target her, while her younger brother Walli dreams of escaping across the Berlin Wall to Britain. Over in Russia, activist Tania Dvorkin risks everything by producing an illegal newsletter, a dangerous act especially since her brother Dimka is rising through the ranks of the Communist Party.

This sweeping narrative, which began in 1911, follows the descendants of five families as they confront their destinies amid the greatest power struggle the world has ever witnessed, fighting valiantly for their personal freedom.
