About this audiobook
#1 New York Times bestselling author Ken Follett takes to the skies in this classic novel of international suspense. Set in the early days of World War II, Night over Water captures the daring and desperation of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances—in prose as compelling as history itself….
September 1939. England is at war with Nazi Germany. In Southampton, the world’s most luxurious airliner—the legendary Pan Am Clipper—takes off for its final flight to neutral America. Aboard are the cream of society and the dregs of humanity, all fleeing the war for reasons of their own—shadowed by a danger they do not know exists—and heading straight into a storm of violence, intrigue, and betrayal….
Ken Follett
Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering into journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy - a body of work which together chronicles over a thousand years of history - and his latest novel Never - which envisages how World War III could happen - have sold more than 188 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The cheese gave me indigestion, none of the characters were a little bit likeable, the plot was predictable and the sex scenes were awful. Not a terribly redeeming novel
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A little cheesy at times but very entertaining and a good twist!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thoroughly enjoyed this story! Ken Follett is masterful at incorporating fascinating history into plausible fiction. The graphic sex is a bit much for my taste, but I skim through for the sake of the story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Entertaining. Foley is great at character development. Plot full of moving parts. Fun book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Complex character development but easy to follow. The ending tied everything off nicely!
