From Publishers Weekly

The opulent interior of the first airliner, the Pan American Clipper, on a transatlantic flight from Southampton, England, to New York in war-darkened 1939, is the setting for Follett's high-flying caper, guaranteed to hold the reader in his seat. Recalling a time when air travel was an exotic adventure, master of epic suspense Follett ( Pillars of the Earth ) spins an excruciatingly taut drama on the aerial equivalent of the Orient Express. Persons unknown kidnap the wife of Clipper engineer Eddie Deakin from their home in Maine in order to force Deakin to maneuver an emergency landing in the choppy waters off Bangor. Apparently the shadowy conspirators plan to remove one of the passengers, an intriguing group who include an FBI agent transporting an extradited mafioso; a Russian princess; a British industrialist chasing his wife and her lover; an American movie star; an Oswald Mosely-like aristocrat turned fascist, his daughter and her lover, a young jewel thief. Details of early aviation firmly establish the cast in their era and a tantalizing mosaic of subplots whisks the reader through a whirlwind of romance and intrigue. Follet soars to a thoroughly satisfying ending with aeronautical precision. This is his best since The Eye of the Needle. Author tour.

From AudioFile

Follett's early thriller, reminiscent of the 1950s' classic THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, follows a plane load of passengers traveling thirty hours from England to the U.S. two days after the start of WWII. The Pan American Clipper is packed with a whole cast of characters, including a scientist fleeing the Nazis, a Mafioso being transported back to justice by an FBI agent, a movie star, a thief, a princess, and a Fascist . To complicate matters, one of the crew's family members is kidnapped to force the flyer to orchestrate an emergency landing. Tom Casaletto's glib performance makes this seemingly endless journey fly by with ease. His many accents are first-rate and more than make up for his tendency to pause unexpectedly in the middle of a sentence.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A pale, period melodrama, Mai 24 2000
Par Doug Vaughn (Washington, Dc USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ken Follett is one of those uneven writers who is just as likely to publish a great book as a mediocre one. Unfortunately, this is a mediocre one. In fact, it reminded me a great deal of those early WWII 'B' movies that studios used to turn out every couple of weeks, where the characters and the plot were pretty predictable and the outcome mostly certain. This book has some points of interest, mostly historical detail. Follett obviously has some kind of keen interest in the big flying boats of the period, but he doesn't use that fascination to advance the story well. The characters are stereotypes and the action is melodrama. The reader doesn't come away from this book with much to remember fondly.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Night Over Water, Oct. 25 2009
Par Marc Wulfraat - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ken Follet is a master storyteller and Night Over Water is a masterpiece of a story. The events take place at the outbreak of World War II and the story is told from the perspective of the multiple passengers on a special plane that flies from England to America. The chapters in the story rotate through the story's main characters (i.e. the passengers), each of whom is coping with some type of personal or professional crisis in their lives. It all comes together though and the story continuously piques the reader's interest without the confusion or malaise that can happen when many characters are active in a story.

As always, Follet has researched the subject matter thoroughly and this provides the story with immense credibility and readability. Unlike many other novels within the `thriller' genre, there is never a moment where the reader feels as though they've been taken for a fool because the author has over-sensationalized an event. In this regard, Follet is a first rate story teller and Night Over Water is without doubt one of the jewels in his crown.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down actually. The very end is a little cheesy but it still made me smile :) I've enjoyed other books by this author as well. I definitely recommend it but I know its not for everyone
