I got around Ken Follett’s latest 1,000 page brick: A Column of Fire. If you are looking for a good for book for the Holidays or a gift, this book will fit the bill. Like any of Ken Follett’s work, this book historically well researched.
The story starts in the late 1550s with Europe torn apart by religious conflict. This was a time when the Catholics burnt the Protestants and then the Protestants burnt the Catholics on the stake. The real enemies, then as now, are not the rival religions. The true battle pitches those who believe in tolerance and compromise against the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everyone else—no matter what the cost.
Here’s a praised for the book: As Europe erupts, can one young spy protect his queen? International bestselling author Ken Follett takes us deep into the treacherous world of powerful monarchs, intrigue, murder, and treason with his magnificent new epic, A Column of Fire. – Amazon
