Publisher's Summary
Edge of Eternity is the epic, final novel in Ken Follett's captivating and hugely ambitious Century trilogy. On its own or in sequence with Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, this is an irresistible and spellbinding epic about the fight for personal freedom set during the Cold War.
A Fight Against Injustice
1961, and in the United States George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration and fierce supporter of the civil rights movement, boards a Greyhound bus in Washington with Verena, an employee of Martin Luther King whom he is in love with, to protest against segregation.
A Rising Tide of Danger
In East Germany, teacher Rebecca Hoffmann finds her entire life has been a lie as she is targeted by the secret police, even as her younger brother, Walli, dreams of escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain. In Russia, activist Tania Dvorkin narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news-sheet, her actions all the more perilous because her brother, Dimka, is an emerging star of the Communist Party.
A Cold War That Could Eliminate the World Forever
In a sweeping tale that began in 1911, the descendants of five families will now find their true destiny as they fight for their individual freedom in a world facing the mightiest clash of superpowers it has ever seen.
Critic Reviews
"The true historical events are probably the most exciting bits to read, because Follett always gives his puppet eye-witnesses an excellent vantage point from which to recount them." (Private Eye)

A history lesson
A wonderful way to learn history. Great continuation of characters from the first 2 books. I have enjoyed this trilogy and have throughly loved true history woven through the story. It brings it all to life.

An adequate finish to the trilogy
I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two books in the trilogy. Unlike the previous books where the history and storyline felt effortlessly intertwined, it felt a bit "forced" in this final installment. However, I would still recommend it if you've read the first two.

Best of the trilogy
the characters in the third part of this trilogy are not as connected to the first two parts and that's why this works.

Time’s glory is to calm contending kings
The quote at the end of this trilogy sums it all up nicely.
