"I was 12 when they let me into the grown-up section of the public library and I discovered James Bond. Live and Let Die, by Ian Fleming, was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me. When I started to write, my ambition was to give my readers the same kind of thrill."

Winter of the World (Dutton), book two in ken Follett's Century Trilogy, has just been published.
