I have more good news for Ken Follett fans...a new novel! Yippeeeee! And it's going to be a trilogy. Double yippeeeee!!!
Via Ken Follett's website: Fall of Giants, the first novel in my 'Century' trilogy, will be published in more than six countries simultaneously on September 28, 2010. In Fall of Giants, I follow the destinies of five interrelated families – one American, one Russian, one German, one English and one Welsh – through the earth-shaking events of the First World War and the Russian Revolution.
The second book in the 'Century' series, set to be published in 2012, will feature the children of the characters in Fall of Giants as they live through the Depression and the Second World War. The third book, due out in 2014, will be about the next generation during the Cold War.
Fall of Giants will be published in hardcover by Penguin in the U.S., Pan Macmillan in the U.K., Random House Mondadori in Spain and Latin America, Editions Laffont in France, Verlagsgruppe Lubbe in Germany and Mondadori Editore-Mondadori VE in Italy.
Ooohhhh, I really, really need to get my hands on this one.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard about this one, but it looks great. I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I love his books!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this sounds interesting! I hope it's not a thousand pages--the only reason I haven't read World Without End yet is because I need a good chunk of time to get through it. I get impatient with long books lately. But I loved Pillars of the Earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news! I was hoping he would write more historical books since I love Pillars of the Earth and World Without End so much.
ReplyDeleteoooooooo.. those sound SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, this sounds good. I really need to get his last novel read first though.
ReplyDeleteSo what you're saying is that I have until September 28 to get my lazy butt in gear and read the bazillion pages of his other two novels.....
ReplyDelete:)
BTW, the cover of The Book of Fires? Quite possibly the most gorgeous I have seen!!!!
I so loved his Pillars Of The Earth and World Without End. A new trilogy is exciting .
ReplyDeleteI need to read his books and this is exciting news! He must be working very hard on this new project!
