Will I love Hornet Flight?

I loved the character of Harald Olufsen, an 18-year-old reluctant spy. The characters' interactions, a blend of cooperation and conflict, created a narrative of brinksmanship that thrilled me. The author's use of suspense in an adventure story held me spellbound.

Among countless war stories, this small one provided a fresh perspective that I found engrossing. Follett is an acknowledged master of historical fiction, but this book is my favorite of all his works.

Another great thriller by Follett, what I found different and interesting for this book was the setting, Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War 2. The mixing of fictional and historical events is well accomplished. Typical of Follett, the novel presents intertwining stories in an adept way that builds tension throughout. It is very well researched and the places really come to life. I loved the abundance of technical details that don’t feel overwhelming, though. With memorable, strong characters, all determined to reach their goals, the writer did a great job in placing them into a well portrayed, true-life context. I loved… show more.
