7/8/2023 0 Comments Ken follet century trilogyThroughout this period we all knew that nuclear war could break out at any minute and bring the human race to an end. Why did you choose the title EDGE OF ETERNITY? It’s a thrilling story and it’s our story, one that has touched us all either directly or through our parents or grandparents. I wanted to recapture the magic of WORLD WITHOUT END but, fond as I am of the Middle Ages, didn’t want to become a “medieval writer.” At some point, in trying to figure out how to do that, I thought of the twentieth century-the most dramatic and bloodthirsty century in the history of the human race an ongoing drama of war against oppressive regimes and of people struggling for independence. Remind us, where did the idea for the Century Trilogy come from? Why the 20th century? But readers have loved the trilogy and I’m very happy about it. I thought I might read some similar books by other authors and found that no one had ever tried to do this-which made it all the more daunting. When I embarked on the project I was not sure that I could tell the story of an entire century in fiction. With the Century Trilogy, you set out to write a sweeping historical epic of the twentieth century what does it feel like to have just complete it? And everyone is gnashing their teeth, biting at the bit, to get at it. EDGE OF ETERNITY, by Ken Follett, bursts into the publishing world on Tuesday, September 16th.
