Overview
""Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn't get fixed."" So says Pauline Green, president of the United States. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country's secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election.

Reviews
Urgent and fiercely compelling . . . Never is first-rate entertainment that has something important to say. It deserves the popular success it will almost certainly achieve. --The Washington Post Ken Follett can't write a bad book, and Never is his best. It's terrifying. I defy anyone to put it down once the last 150 pages are reached. --Stephen King Superstar novelist Ken Follett's what-if political thriller . . . is so exciting--and so plausible--you won't want to look away. --Apple Books (Best Book of the Month) Settle in for a thrilling ride. --CNN.com Terrific . . . A powerful, commanding performance from one of the top writers in the genre. --Publishers Weekly (starred) A complex, scary thriller that feels too plausible for comfort. You'll be so absorbed in the story threads that you'll follow them anywhere--and you'll suddenly realize you've read hundreds of pages. . . . On one level, it's great entertainment; on another, a window into a sobering possibility. --Kirkus (starred) Absolutely compelling . . . A smart, scary, and all-too-plausible thriller. --Booklist
