Publisher's summary
Boston, 1961. George Jake und Verena Marquand, zwei junge Schwarze, erfahren am eigenen Leib, was Rassendiskriminierung bedeutet - und wie falsch angebliche Freunde sein können. Wem kann man in einer von Misstrauen und Vorurteilen beherrschten Gesellschaft trauen, wem nicht? Und kann der Baptistenpastor Martin Luther King tatsächlich Hoffnung bringen?
Ken Follett spannt mit seiner spannenden Familiensaga gekonnt einen Bogen zwischen den großen Freiheitsbewegungen in den USA, in Russland und vor allem in Deutschland, die schließlich 1989 im FALL DER MAUER gipfeln.
"Kinder der Freiheit" ("Edge of Eternity", 2014) ist der dritte Roman der Jahrhundert-Saga von Ken Follett.

Editorial reviews
"Kinder der Freiheit (Die Jahrhundert-Saga 3)" von Ken Follett knüpft an seine Vorgänger an und bildet einen krönenden Abschluss für die preisgekrönte Trilogie des Bestseller-Autors.
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1961: Während in Berlin Rebecca Hoffmann die schockierende Stasi-Tätigkeit ihres Mannes entdeckt und mit ihren Kindern um die Freiheit bangt, hoffen die jungen Afroamerikaner George und Verena in Boston auf das Einlösen der Versprechen eines gewissen Martin Luther King.
Ken Follet spannt mit seinen packenden Familiengeschichten einen Bogen um die Welt des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Auch in "Kinder der Freiheit (Die Jahrhundert-Saga 3)" beleuchtet er historische Ereignisse packend und emotional aus der Sicht der Betroffenen. Getragen wird der gelungene Abschluss der beliebten Hörbuch-Trilogie von Sprecher Philipp Schepmann. Ein Hörerlebnis zwischen Geschichte und Gegenwart, zwischen Hoffnung und Verzweiflung und vor allem voller Antworten auf die Frage: Was geschah im 20. Jahrhundert wirklich? Brillant!

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Nice with weaknesses
Ken Follet's treatment of the past projects very modern notions onto the opinions of his historical characters. He makes sure to have antagonistic characters with the opposite view, but it gets a little difficult to believe that there weren't good people with bad viewpoints.
Some of his presentation of events is oversimplified or leaned toward unsubstantiated conclusions. This character quality is less garish in his other books given their distance from the current age.
Overall attractive reading about interesting times. Its only flaw is that Follet's reliable formula is harder to swallow the more recent the topic being handled.
