Abridged edition.
The enthralling saga that began in The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End continues with Ken Follett's magnificent, masterful A Column of Fire.
A World in Turmoil

Elizabeth determines to set up a new secret service: a group of resourceful spies and courageous agents entrusted to keep her safe and in power. As she searches for those who will make the difference, one man stands out.
A Man Who Would Die for His Queen
For Ned Willard the opportunity to serve his queen is God-sent. He cannot stay in Kingsbridge and watch the love of his life marry another, and as fires burn and extremism begins to spark throughout Europe, Ned makes his choice. He will spend his life protecting his monarch from the tyrants who aim to destroy her or die trying...

Brilliant!
This trilogy has educated me to an era which I had little knowledge and kept me up listening in the wee hours! I enjoyed them so much and the narrator was brilliant too.

Great historical drama
Well read with empathy and good characterisation. Easy to maintain connection with a large number of characters over a long period of time.

FANTASTIC
Ken has done it again! A great way to remember history I so enjoyed it. While listening I used google maps to look at Cadiz, Seville and other places mentioned, and loosed at images. All made the history come to life. Thank you Mr Follett.

Wonderful lesson in history
How I wish Richard E Grant had been the narrator, his extraordinary talent brought 2 previous novels to life unlike the unnatural stilted, clipped and weird reading habit of John Lee so irritating that I cannot listen to any audible books read by him.
