The Eve of War Britain has just declared war against Nazi Germany. In Southampton, the world’s most luxurious airliner, the Pan American Clipper, takes off on its final flight to neutral New York – a haven for those fleeing the conflict.
A Disparate Group Flees The passengers aboard the plane each have their own reasons for leaving Britain. Amongst them are an English aristocrat fleeing with his family and a fortune in jewels; a German scientist running away from the Nazis; a murderer returning under FBI escort; a wife escaping her controlling husband; and a devious thief determined to keep his spoils.
A Journey into Danger Trapped on the plane, with only their fellow passengers for company, their journey over the Atlantic becomes increasingly fraught. Especially when it becomes apparent a plot is unfolding that may endanger all of their lives . . .

Dårligste boka jeg har hørt av Ken Follett

Langt fra en av Follet's beste bøker, men underholdende nok. Litt klisjeaktig men relativt spennende

I wish I could give this book a 100 star review!!It was my fave stand alone KF novel far. I’m so disappointed to learn that none of these awe inspiring Boeing aircraft are in existence today, otherwise to go see one in the flesh would be added to my bucket list. Read this outstanding story or miss out on something brilliant. FOMO is real.
