'Hornet Flight' by Ken Follett

Reading Ken Follett, and especially his WWII works, is something that sets the clock back and transports you back into the world where ordinary people turned into heroes overnight. This is a period that the present generation hasn't seen, and the previous generation hardly remembers. These novels, as sensationalized as they are, are then one recourse to connect to a tumultuous history that everyone should know about - the price of freedom, the courage of an entire generation, and the lessons we need to learn from all of the struggles.

This novel is another masterpiece - the plot is good, the presentation imaginative and writing almost flawless. There are a few factual errors that Ken Follett mentions on his site at http://www.ken-follett.com, but then I am not a purist, and reading this novel was fun. I was on the edge of my seat on a couple of occasions, although the plot tends to get predictable at one point. I would love to see a movie made on this novel someday.
