Het aftellen naar de Apocalyps is begonnen. Vijfhonderd jaar geleden voorspelde Nostradamus de komst van drie antichristen. Twee daarvan, Napoleon en Hitler, lieten een spoor van dood en verwoesting achter. Maar het is de derde antichrist die de mens écht moet vrezen. Hij is degene die de Apocalyps zal ontketenen. En zijn moment is nu gekomen. Adam Sabir is de bewaarder van de verloren profetieën van Nostradamus. Alleen hij weet de identiteit van de derde antichrist. Alleen hij weet wie deze tiran kan stoppen voordat de wereld ten onder zal gaan. Het lot van iedereen rust op zijn schouders..
Praise for Fall of Giants Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and
historical information so vividly . . . grippingly told. -The New York Times
Book Review Follett conjures the winds of war. -The Washington Post A good
read. . . . It's a book that will suck you in, consume you for days or weeks .
. . then let you out the other side both entertained and educated. That's
quite the feat. -USA Today Grand in scope, scale, and story. -The Associated
Press Follett entwines fiction and factual events well. . . . This is a dark
novel, motivated by an unsparing view of human nature and a clear-eyed
scrutiny of an ideal peace. It is not the least of Follett's feats that the
reader finishes this near thousand-page book intrigued and wanting more.
-Chicago Sun-Times Fascinating, in a big way. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch Fall of
Giants is a book for you to savor, one in which you can lose yourself for
hours on end. It is a big book that tells a big story, but it is one you will
not want to end. -The Huffington Post Follett once again creates a world at
once familiar and fantastic. . . . A guiltless pleasure, the book is
impossible to put down. . . . Empires fall. Heroes rise. Love conquers. After
going through a war with these characters, you're left hoping that Follett
gets moving with the next giant installment. -Time Out New York A suspenseful
epic. -The Seattle Times Tantalizing. -Newsday
