About this listen

A family Christmas, a blizzard, and a deadly virus let loose. Filled with startling twists, Whiteout is the ultimate knife-edge drama from bestselling author Ken Follett.

A Family Reunited
As a blizzard descends from the north on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family estate in Scotland. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus.

A Brewing Storm
Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; and a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it.

A House Under Siege
A sinister gang spots an opportunity to use one of Stanley’s children against him and steal the virus. As everyone takes shelter, it becomes apparent that being inside the house may be more dangerous than the storm outside, especially when a lethal virus might be on the loose . . .

Had to abandon this puerile “ story”. Badly researched, dreadful characters and just boring. How it can be described as a thriller is a mystery. There is no sense of place, zero play with language and the female protagonist is even more irritating and pathetic than Robyn in the latest JK Rowling offering … and she was beyond understanding. I was obviously thinking of the writer of Pillars of the Earth when I purchased this rubbish. Ken Follet is an old man who is obviously having a fantasy about younger women. So pukesome and this tedious relationship permeates this weak story. Leave this genre to Lee Childs, Mark Greaney and David Baldacci. Sorry Ken….. you’re hopeless at it.
