World Without End
By: Follett, Ken
Published by: Dutton Adult
Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year—World Without End. In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmed—“it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you” (Chicago Tribune)—and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas— about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race—the Black Death. Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.

Akhenaten: Son of the Sun
By: Caldecott, Moyra
Published by: Mushroom Publishing
“I tell you this three millennia
after these events took place.
Mark them well.
They did not end with my death,
and they will not end with yours.”
In ancient Egypt during the magnificent eighteenth dynasty the
Pharaoh Akhenaten and his queen, the strong and beautiful
Nefertiti, are engaged in a dramatic battle against the wealthy,
corrupt and dangerously powerful priests of Amun.
Haunting and full of surprises, Akhenaten: Son of the Sun, gives a
fascinating glimpse into an ancient civilisation. It is a story
about hate and love, despair and hope, but more than that it is
the story of extraordinary spiritual and psychic powers being
tested to their limits.
Don’t miss Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun, Tutankhamun
and the Daughter of Ra and The Ghost of Akhenaten, further titles in Moyra Caldecott’s magnificent Egyptian Cycle.
