Mehr als ein Thriller - Ken Folletts neuester, actiongeladener Roman führt tief in die Verstrickungen unserer globalisierten Welt und stellt die Frage "Was wäre, wenn..." "Eine fesselnde Geschichte, und nur allzu realistisch" - Lawrence H. Summers, ehemaliger US-Finanzminister. In der Sahara folgen zwei Geheimdienstagenten der Spur mächtiger Drogenschmuggler. Sie riskieren ihr Leben - und ihre Karriere. Nicht weit entfernt macht sich eine junge Witwe mit Hilfe von Schleusern auf den Weg nach Europa. Als sie sich gegen Übergriffe verteidigen muss, hilft ihr ein Mitreisender. Doch auch er scheint nicht zu sein, was er vorgibt.

Er wünscht sich nichts so sehr wie Frieden, doch dafür muss er töten. 1968. Der Kalte Krieg ist auf seinem Höhepunkt. Auch im Nahen Osten spitzt sich die Lage zu, als der Mossad erfährt, dass Ägypten die Atombombe entwickelt - eine tödliche Bedrohung für Israel. Um selbst nukleare Waffen zu produzieren und damit das Gleichgewicht wiederherzustellen, fehlt dem Land jedoch das Wichtigste: Uran. Nat Dickstein hat den Auftrag, mehrere Hundert Tonnen davon für Israel zu stehlen.

Il nuovo romanzo di Ken Follett costituirà una sorpresa per i suoi milioni di lettori. Per niente al mondo segna un cambio di rotta rispetto ai suoi romanzi storici. Ambientato ai giorni nostri narra di una crisi globale che minaccia di sfociare nella terza guerra mondiale, lasciando il lettore nell'incertezza fino all'ultima pagina. Più di un thriller, Per niente al mondo è un romanzo ricco di dettagli reali che si muove tra il cuore rovente del deserto del Sahara e le stanze inaccessibili del potere delle grandi capitali del mondo.

No deserto do Saara, dois agentes de inteligência de elite—um francês e uma americana—arriscam a própria vida enquanto seguem o rastro de um poderoso grupo de extremistas. Do outro lado do mundo, a primeira mulher a ocupar o cargo de presidente dos Estados Unidos faz de tudo para lidar diplomaticamente com ataques estrangeiros, comércio ilegal de armas e campanhas de difamação de um adversário populista. Mas, à medida que pequenos atos de violência se sucedem e começam a ganhar escala, o início de uma nova guerra mundial parece uma certeza.
