Critic reviews

Crackles with suspense
So exciting I found myself setting the alarm clock for four in the morning to finish it
All stars
Most relevant
I had to check that it was the same author, twice, so unlike any of his other stuff.
It was okay. The central idea quite clever, but nothing like as good as his historical books

Not like any other Follet book

Gripping story as usual from Ken Follett and very well performed couldn’t turn it off!

Great Characters

Making earthquakes as a Forceful and Terrifying Weapon is made to seem all too possible, and the reaction of The Establishment ("do nothing, and the threat will go away") is all too probable to leave the listening observer confronting this crescendo of events unmoved.

A Thrilling and Worrying Possibility?

Another fantastic story from Ken Follett you feel as if you are right in the middle of the story and it has you on the edge of your seat throughout

Absolutely brilliant

My first audible book. Ken is a favourite author of mine, so I hoped that the weirdness of having a book read to me would be smoothed by this; and thankfully it was, I enjoyed both the story and the narration.

Excellent as usual!
