“Urgent and fiercely compelling . . . Never is first-rate entertainment that has something important to say. It deserves the popular success it will almost certainly achieve.”—The Washington Post“Superstar novelist Ken Follett’s what-if political thriller . . . is so exciting—and so plausible—you won’t want to look away.”—Apple Books (Best Book of the Month)“Settle in for a thrilling ride.”—CNN.com “Terrific . . . A powerful, commanding performance from one of the top writers in the genre.”—Publishers Weekly (starred)“A complex, scary thriller that feels too plausible for comfort. You’ll be so absorbed in the story threads that you’ll follow them anywhere—and you’ll suddenly realize you’ve read hundreds of pages. . . . On one level, it’s great entertainment; on another, a window into a sobering possibility.” —Kirkus (starred)“Absolutely compelling . . . A smart, scary, and all-too-plausible thriller.”—Booklist
