Critics were overwhelmed—“it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you” (\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e)—and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. Look out for the next book in this series, \u003ci\u003eA Column of Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, available now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorld Without End\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Pillars of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 crossroads 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree years in the writing and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, \u003ci\u003eWorld Without End\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49340088418608,"sku":"BDan3e","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49340088484144,"sku":"40an3e","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audio CD [41]","offer_id":49340088746288,"sku":"41an3e","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/151950-an3e-Square.jpg?v=1734036859","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-an3e","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
