Wow - a very intense read. The story follows multiple perspectives as rising tensions lead to escalating military actions around the world. Follett does a great job showcasing how close we are to nuclear war and the precarious nature of peace. It definitely raised my anxiety levels especially the last 3 chapters. Highly recommend for people who enjoy multiple POVs and thrillers.
