About this listen

The Hammer of Eden is a pulsating, state-of-the-art suspense thriller from master storyteller Ken Follett, author of Never and The Pillars of the Earth.

A Deadly Threat
The FBI receive an anonymous threat from a terrorist group that claims it can trigger earthquakes.

A Lone Agent
Judy Maddox, an FBI agent with a point to prove, is tasked with investigating the threat by her obstructive superiors. She must discover if it is credible and, if so, where it comes from.

A State on the Verge of Destruction
When a suspected, machine-generated tremor is detected her investigation reaches a critical point – can she find those responsible, and their next target, before they trigger a catastrophe that will devastate the entire West Coast of America and the millions of people who live there . . .

Making earthquakes as a Forceful and Terrifying Weapon is made to seem all too possible, and the reaction of The Establishment ("do nothing, and the threat will go away") is all too probable to leave the listening observer confronting this crescendo of events unmoved.

Another fantastic story from Ken Follett you feel as if you are right in the middle of the story and it has you on the edge of your seat throughout

Absolutely brilliant

I had to check that it was the same author, twice, so unlike any of his other stuff.
It was okay. The central idea quite clever, but nothing like as good as his historical books

Not like any other Follet book

Gripping story as usual from Ken Follett and very well performed couldn’t turn it off!

Great Characters

My first audible book. Ken is a favourite author of mine, so I hoped that the weirdness of having a book read to me would be smoothed by this; and thankfully it was, I enjoyed both the story and the narration.

Excellent as usual!
