In 1967, he got admitted to University College, London, where he studied philosophy. His own family moved to London when he turned ten years, and he began applying himself to his studies at Harrow Weald Grammar faculty and Poole Technical university. Ken was restricted from watching movies and cartoons on Television by his parents with which he developed the habit of reading right from his childhood. His Father Martin Follett was a Tax inspector. Ken Follett was born on 5 June 1949 in Cardiff, Wales.

Publication Order of Century Trilogy Books.Publication Order of Apples Carstairs Books as Simon Myles.Ken Follett Books and Series in Publication Order.The emotionally evocative interactions between the main characters adds depth to the narrative. Bloggs is likable and his personal history particularly strikes a chord with the reader. Although a little more character development would have been welcome. Godliman is sharp and dedicated with a foresight that makes him a hero in his own right. But his personality reveals more layers as he does express human emotions detrimental to the nature of this work that somewhat softens his character. For the most part, Die Nadel comes across as a reticent cold-blooded assassin, ready to whip out his deadly stiletto at any given moment in the interest of self-preservation or at the behest of his country. The main male characters are also well drawn. It reinforces the notion that heroes can emerge from the most unlikeliest of places and circumstances. Her naivety, courage and resourcefulness renders her character endearingly heroic. As a reader, you feel empathetic towards her life's circumstances even when she recklessly crosses the line into amoral territory. Lucy, is one of the best characters in the novel. But in this novel, to see a female character who does not hesitate to express her feelings or desires and has depth to her personality is refreshing. The general perception of a woman was based on her sexuality. Where women were expected to be weak and vulnerable. It was a time where gender inequality was the norm. The 70's woman was (mostly) raised to be a submissive wife and subsequently, a devoted mother.
The characters are well-defined and I love how the author has depicted the strong female character.
