The Borders of Eternity

Edge of eternity – the spectacular finale to the Century trilogy

The monumental Century trilogy by bestselling author Ken Follett reaches its climax. Following Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, which map the fictional lives of five families across the globe during the dramatic events of the First and Second World Wars, comes the final instalment in the saga, Edge of Eternity. This time, the lives of Maud von Ulrich and her descendants in Berlin, the Dewars in the United States, Ethel Williams and her London-based family, and the Russian-American Peshkov clan are shaped by the key historical events and conflicts from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. Experience the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the collapse of the communist bloc, and cultural phenomena of the era – such as samizdat, the media, and music – and their role in the fight for peace and freedom. As these historical and personal journeys come to a close, they leave readers with an unforgettable experience.
