Edge of Eternity

Edge of Eternity is the final volume in Ken Follett’s internationally acclaimed Century Trilogy — a grand, ambitious saga that began with Fall of Giants and continued with Winter of the World. This installment brings us into the heart of the 20th century's most dangerous period: the Cold War.

In 1961, George Jakes, a young lawyer working for the Kennedy administration, joins the Civil Rights Movement. Alongside Verena, a close aide of Martin Luther King Jr., he risks his career and safety to fight against segregation and injustice in the American South.

In East Germany, Rebecca Hoffmann, a schoolteacher, uncovers devastating secrets about her life as she becomes a target of the Stasi, the secret police. Her brother Walli dreams of escaping to the West through the heavily guarded Berlin Wall.

In Moscow, Tania Dvorkin fights against censorship by printing underground newsletters, endangering her life — especially since her brother Dimka is rising within the powerful ranks of the Communist Party.

Across three continents, the descendants of five families — American, German, Russian, and British — confront one of history’s most volatile times. As nuclear tension escalates, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and each character must choose between fear and courage, silence and resistance.

With his signature attention to historical detail and rich character development, Ken Follett delivers an unforgettable tale of love, power, and sacrifice during a time when one wrong move could mean global annihilation.
