Edge of Eternity: Ken Follett (The Century Trilogy, 3)

Product Information

In this final installment, we see the grandchildren of the epic WWI story course through the remnants of WWII, the Cold War, and the civil rights movement of the 1960's. By the very end of the book, the epilogue, all of the first book's characters and quite a lot of the second's, must be dead, but we don't find out what happened to many of them, which is a bit of a let-down. I was born in 1982 and had been interested to see what would happen in the eras that I actually remember. Publication information is for the USA, and (unless stated otherwise) represents the first print edition. It seems, that much like in real life, something was lost between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers.

It brought back so many life moments in my own story that it made me put into perspective my view of history.The final in the this trilogy ended all the relationships and stories across the countries it covered beautifully. If you lean liberal and need to have your fantasy world upheld by books where liberals can do no wrong and conservatives can do nothing but, this is definitely the book for you. While Lili sings subversive political songs, the dyslexic Walli's music is more mainstream, turning him into an international pop star in the band Plum Nellie.

Characters in the US work (under six presidents) to overcome prejudice and discrimination and to win the Cold War.On its own or read in sequence with Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, this is an irresistible and spellbinding epic about the fight for personal freedom set during the Cold War. If you liked the other two then you kind of pretty much have to read it just to find out what happens to the characters, but actually, you don't find out what happens to many of them. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union plotline focuses on Dmitri Dvorkin, a young functionary of the Communist Party who works for Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The phone rings, you pick it up, there’s a silence for a few seconds, then the person at the other end hangs up. Plus the whole thing about Walli shaking hands with Karoly's husband and "seeing something" then Lilli remembering it was absurd.

Rebecca looked around for something else to throw at him, and her gaze fell on the matchstick model of the Brandenburg Gate. However, the Welsh author used his characters to promote his obvious political preference for socialism and liberalism.Very little mention is made of Ted, the fat drunk Kennedy, I guess Follett couldn't quite whitewash him into a completely flattering light.

If you are the publisher or author and feel that they do not properly reflect the range of media opinion now available, send us a message with the mainstream reviews that you would like to see added. For the Americans, the issue of civil rights is the thorn in their side, while for the Communists, it is freedom and dissent. Maybe he had been forced to make a decision: refuse her, and abandon the surveillance, or marry her and continue it.Sadly as a previous review highlighted , the author appears to have become obsessed with sex and the female body. East German teacher Rebecca Hoffman discovers she's been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for generations.
