The Hammer of Eden - Ken Follett

World Without End - Ken Follett

World without end is the follow up book to Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett, and even though this may bring joy to the hearts of those who read the original, it is no in no way a necessity to have read the original book before reading this.

The Third Twin - Ken Follett

This is the second book I have read by Follet and as with the first I was unable to put it down.

Ferrami has written her own search engine to find the twins, by scanning medical databases that will throw up any ...
