World Without End

In 1989, Ken Follett thrilled readers with his best selling book of all time, Pillars of the Earth. It's been a long wait, but Follett has finally written the most anticipated sequel of the year, World Without End.

This epic, historical novel takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, 2 centuries after the building of its exquisite Gothic cathedral, told of so thrillingly in Pillars of the Earth. But this sequel is a fine example of historical fiction at its best. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas-about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In Follett's own inimitable way, intrigue and tension reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race- the Black Death.

Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End demonstrates that Ken Follett is still a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.
