Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
The FBI doesn’t believe it. The Governor wants the problem to disappear. But agent Judy Maddox knows the threat is real: An extreme group of eco-terrorists has the means and the know-how to set off a massive earthquake of epic proportions. For California, time is running out.
 
Now Maddox is scrambling to hunt down a petty criminal turned cult leader turned homicidal mastermind. Because she knows that the dying has already begun. And things will only get worse when the earth violently shifts, bolts, and shakes down to its very core.

About Ken Follett

Ken Follett, a Welsh novelist has written important bodies of work, such as: Eye of the Needle, The Key to Rebecca, Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, Whiteout, The Century Trilogy. His genre includes thrillers and historical fiction. As a youth he was never allowed to watch television or movies, so out of boredom, he developed a keen interest in reading.

Follett had various jobs on his pathway to being a novelist. He was a general assignment reporter for the Evening News in London. He found that work to be very unchallenging, so he took a position as managing director of Everest Books and began writing fiction as an evening hobby. With the publication of Eye of the Needle in 1978 he became not only internationally known, but also wealthy. Follett’s next project is a third book in his Kingsbridge series. The first two were The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, and is to be released in 2017.

Goodreads review by Addy on August 20, 2017

This is probably the first and I hope the last Ken Follett novel that I found absolutely amateurish. For someone who has mesmerised the world with master pieces like 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'The Century Trilogy', this is an extremely poor novel. Had he not been one of my favourite authors and thi......more

Goodreads review by Mar_books on December 21, 2024

Este libro realmente me impresionó de lo bueno que es y el poco reconocimiento que tiene, me pareció además una trama muy original. Disfruté mucho que estuviera narrado desde las dos perspectivas (el FBI y los protestantes). Una historia que conecta bastante con la realidad, como una simple decisión......more

Quotes

Praise for The Hammer of Eden

“Follett ratchets up the Richter scale of suspense.”—USA Today
 
“Peerless pacing and character development . . . The Hammer of Eden will nail readers to their seats.”—People (A Page-Turner of the Week)
 
“The thrills hit unnervingly close to home in Follett’s latest white-knuckler.”—San Francisco Chronicle
 
“Riveting . . . taut plotting, tense action, skillful writing, and myriad unexpected twists make this one utterly unputdownable.”—Booklist (starred review)

"A model of how a thriller ought to be written. Follett keeps it crisp and rachets up the tension. . . . Time speeds up as the danger escalates." —Los Angeles Times

"Follett does a first-class job of creating a fictional universe and then inviting the reader to live in it. His substantial research pays off as well, because he writes about the world of earthquakes with the same authority he displays when discussing the technical aspects of the FBI's inner workings." —Newark Star-Ledger

"Amazing . . . Hollywood could have some fun with The Hammer of Eden." —Orlando Sentinel
