		Follett's impeccable pacing builds suspense in a balanced narrative that offers action, intrigue, violence and passion as well as the step-by-step description of an edifice rising in slow stages, its progress tied to the vicissitudes of fortune and the permutations of evolving architectural style.

		Ken Follett invents just such a master-spy in this novel: Henry Faber, aka "The Needle", who coldly uses the stiletto knife he carries up his sleeve to kill anyone who threatens his mission.
		Drawn to the stranger until she discovers who he truly is, Lucy must summon extraordinary courage and resourcefulness to protect herself, her young son, and her country from this determined killer.
		Also worthy of note is Follett's remarkable perception into the female viewpoint with the character of Lucy, whose persistent efforts to salvage her doomed marriage and boundless inner strength against impossible odds evoke the reader's sympathy and admiration.

		Follett's latest is a bio-thriller taking place over a wintry Christmas holiday in northern Scotland and well larded with family drama.
		It is not until midnight on Christmas Eve that all this soap is rinsed away, and the plot kicks into high gear, as a band of desperate, violent thieves, led by Stanley's wastrel son, Kit, lay siege to the well-defended Kremlin in the midst of a terrible blizzard.
		Beautiful and brainy females are often front-and-center in Ken Follett novels; in "Whiteout" it is Toni Gallo, former cop and current director of security for Oxenford, developer of anti-viral drugs to combat these deadly viruses.

	Carlos Ramet, a RebeccasReads.com Interview with Narayan Radhakrishnan
		Follett, there are some 44,000 items stored in twenty-nine boxes, and while guidelines and procedures for the use of these materials are still being established by the Library, a sampling of the documents is available on-line in a virtual exhibit.
		Follett had been quoted in a magazine article in the 1980's as saying that early in his career he had sold one or two short stories, but nothing much came of them.
		I ask this because Follett is still writing (I understand that he is working on a sequel to The Pillars of the Earth) and each work is attaining bestseller status.

	Jackdaws \| books : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		Ken Follett is the rare spy novelist whose female characters are as strong as his males.
		In one of Follett's typically vivid character touches, Paul lost most of his left ear during a shoot-out with the Gestapo in Marseille, although, Flick notes, ''there was a certain charm to his face.''
		If you're not careful, you can get as lost in the tangled syntax of his sentences as he does (''She was alert, her heart pounding, her muscles tensed for action, but in her brain the blood flowed like ice water'').

		Veteran thriller writer Ken Follett (Eye of the Needle, The Third Twin, The Key to Rebecca) turns in another nifty story of espionage, deceit, and betrayal, a fast-paced read with "bestseller" written all over it.
		Follett may have intentionally changed a bunch of things, but I never figured out the purpose of the misrepresentations.
		What Follett's strength is, and has always been is that he writes the characters with great depth and his books are easy to read and follow.
