One of my all time favorites, Ken Follett has just announced that his new book “Winter of the World!” 

What a great way to start the New Year with anticipation of a new novel by Mr. Follett!

Winter of the World – the sequel to Fall of Giants – is a story about a group of families in the dramatic events leading up to World War II, and during that tumultuous conflict itself.

There is an American family, a German family, a Russian family and two British families, and their desires and ambitions, and the events of the day, shape their relationships and fates in extraordinary ways.

Winter of the World, the second novel in his ‘Century’ trilogy, is due to be published in many countries in September 2012. Around the time of publication, Mr. Follett planning to visit the USA, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and several other countries.

I know as his others, Winter of the World will be a big hit!

Got an email from one of my favorite authors, Ken Follett, today announcing his latest work, “Fall Of Giants!”

This is the first of a trilogy from his “Century” series.

The second book is due 2012 and the third 2014.

The release date for “Fall Of Giants” is September 28.

I am really stoked about this new novel and hope to buy one shortly after the release date!

Mr. Follett’s “Pillars of the Earth” mini TV series was a smashing success and will be released on DVD in December. I did not get to see this on TV, but I will buy the DVD and give you a report.

Author Follett is going on an extensive 5 month book signing tour including Atlanta, sure would be nice to meet him and get an autographed copy! Sensational!

You can pre-order your copy here!

This is going to be great!

One of my favorite authors!

One of my favorite novels!

Made into a movie! Wow!

Best part is Mr. Follett had a hand in everything, so I know this will be a fantastic watch!

What a great cast including one of the all time greats, Donald Sutherland!

Of course my experience has been the book is always better that the movie, but knowing Ken, this will be great!

On Ken’s blog he writes: “The average lifespan of a man or woman in the Middle Ages was much shorter than today, and they started to act as adults when we in the 21st century would still consider them children. That short span gave immediacy to the experiences of life, especially during outbursts of violence like “The Anarchy,” Stephen and Maud’s brutal and protracted civil war.”

I wish you great success with this endeavor!
