Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett

Title: Edge of Eternity

Author: Ken Follett

Edge of Eternity, the third novel in Ken Follett's Century Trilogy, continues the saga of five interrelated families first seen in Fall of Giants and Winter of the World.  This third book introduces a new generation of men and women located in the U.S., the U.K., Germany and Russia.  These younger family members are linked by blood and also by tumultuous global events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Civil Rights Movement, and Watergate.

As fascinating as Follett makes history, he is essentially a storyteller who lets his characters drive the action.  George Jakes is in Robert F Kennedy's Justice Department.  Dimka Dworkin is an aid to Nikita Khrushchev.  Jasper Murray is a journalist, and finally, Walli Franck is a rock 'n roll musician.  All are impacted in important ways by twentieth century milestones.  However, its the account of their ambition, insight, and passion which keeps the reader hooked for hours.

Ken Follett's books often require a big investment of time.  The Century Trilogy is worth it.
