I liked this even better than the much longer historical novels of his that I have read. About half the size of The Pillars of the Earth, etc, this being shorter is also much tighter, concentrating the tension into a 48 hour period. With characters every bit as well drawn as those in The Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, the tension is not dissipated by already knowing what will happen to the plane. I have ordered three more of Follett's thrillers...
I have now started The Book of Life, the third book in Deborah Harkness' witch trilogy. It has already started intriguingly with Diana and Matthew's return to the present and discovery of Emily's death. Love these books.
