About this listen
As the Nazis bring Denmark to its knees, a resistance forms – and make a discovery that could turn the tide of war. From the master storyteller Ken Follett, Hornet Flight is a startling thriller set amidst the Danish Resistance of the Second World War.
Europe in Darkness
1941. The Nazis have Denmark in their vice-like grip, their malign presence corroding everything its inhabitants hold dear. Even the police betray their countrymen and work with the Gestapo to hunt down spies.
A Glimmer of Hope
In this hostile climate the Danish resistance discover a secret that could change the course of the war – proof of an advanced German radar installation that is causing catastrophic losses to Allied planes bringing the fight to Germany.
A Dangerous Mission
The resistance must get the information to the British and will have only one chance, using a near-derelict Hornet Moth bi-plane mouldering away in a church. If they succeed the balance of the war will be tipped in the Allies’ favour but failure will see them killed...

Incredible work from the master
Describing the era of the war as so accurate it felt like watching a motion picture unfold. Excellent research obviously and detailed analysis of history, the final journey into England was well done, once again a great story well read

Outstanding World War II spy thriller
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you like WWII thrillers, this is the book for you.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hornet Flight?
Probably the chase by a Danish Nazi policeman of the young hero who must fly to England with important intelligence about the Luftwaffe.
Have you listened to any of Nigel Carrington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will certainly listen to more of his performances. He's great.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was just plain fun.
Any additional comments?
Follett's attention to technical, geographic and cultural detail about Denmark in the 1940s makes the book very engaging.
