Ilustration Toward Books Hornet Flight

Ken Follett follows his bestsellers Jackdaws and Code to Zero with an extraordinary novel of early days of World War II...It is June 1941 and the war is not going well for England.  Across the North Sea, eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen takes a shortcut on the German-occupied Danish island of Sande an discovers an astonishing sight that will change the momentum of the war.  He must get word to England-except that he has no way to get there.  He has only an old derelict Hornet Moth biplane rusting away in a ruined church: a plane so decrepit that it is unlikely ever to get off the ground...even if Harald knew how to fly it.

Write-Up About Books Hornet Flight

I can't understand why Follett named this thriller 'Hornet Flight.' Already from one third through the book we know it is going to end with a flight by the Hornet Moth and from half way through we know who will be flying. It would have been so much better if he had given it a neutral title which most of his other books have. The Nazi iron cross on the cover begs the question "why?" German Nazis play a minor role in the story and no German will be awarded the cross for valour as a result of

I recommend the book.Is there any possibility that the events in this book could be true? From the first page to the last, I was a naysayer. Then I began to think about miracles happening everyday, and I realized I was reading about a pocketful of miracles that could have happened to people dedicated to free Europe which was under Nazi control. The author described the characters in looks and in action. I especially liked Harald. This book is now one of my favorite Ken Follett books. His writing

Disappointing. Ken Follet is one of my favorite authors and I am an avid fan of historical fiction, especially anything aviation, world war II, or espionage. I thought this book would be an instant favorite. Although it is written masterfully as only Follet can do, the context/plot just isn't there. I feel the story could have been told in 75 pages. It's almost as if the rest of the book is excess weight- padding- to give the book that 'classic' feel that Follet normally does so well.

This is a book that takes place in occupied Denmark during World War 2 in 1941 and involves a German radar station and a network of spies trying to get the warning to the British.The British are losing a high percentage of bombers, and its almost as though the Germans know where theyre going to be. It is thought that the Germans progress on developing radar cant be the explanation, but a young Dane discovers otherwise. Getting the info into Allied hands proves to be dicey, because the young mans

The book had a library sticker on the spine that said "Adventure". It really was an adventure masquerading as a WWII thriller set mostly in occupied Denmark. It focused on Danish efforts to share critical (but nerdy) German military secrets with the British.....and of course the sadistic, collaborator police detective nemesis. There is a bit more technical information than I like, but it was entertainingly told so I have temporary mental custody of Hornet Moth flight control terms and radar

The story was excellent and I enjoyed reading about WW 2 again in an exciting and engaging book that was taken from the prospective of the Danes instead of the American's and British. The one thing I did not like was all of the sex, it did nothing for the story although it was interesting to watch the progression of Peter's downhill ride as he became more and more obsessed with catching his countrymen who were against the occupation by Germany. As he became more set on power and glory and
