The grand master of gripping fiction is back. International No.1 bestseller Ken Follett returns to Kingsbridge with an epic tale of revolution and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Revolution is in the air
1792. A tyrannical government is determined to make England a mighty commercial empire. In France, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and with dissent rife, France’s neighbours are on high alert.
Kingsbridge is on the edge
Unprecedented industrial change sweeps the land, making the lives of the workers in Kingbridge’s prosperous cloth mills a misery. Rampant modernization and dangerous new machinery are rendering jobs obsolete and tearing families apart.
Tyranny is on the horizon
Now, as international conflict nears, a story of a small group of Kingsbridge people – including spinner Sal Clitheroe, weaver David Shoveller and Kit, Sal’s inventive and headstrong son – will come to define the struggle of a generation as they seek enlightenment and fight for a future free from oppression . . .
Taking the listener straight into the heart of history with the fifth novel in the ground-breaking Kingsbridge series, The Armour of Light is master storyteller Ken Follett’s most ambitious novel to date.

Som alltid: Fantastisk. Ken Follett gjør historie levende og innleser John Lee er en mester til å levendegjøre det skrevne ord. - Min absolutt favoritt blant norske, svenske og britiske opplesere! Takk for 22 timer med kunnskapsrik underholdning! 🥰

Kjempegod bok, som alle de andre, men jeg syns det ble for mye krig, Napoleon, Wellington, steder osv i slutten. Historisk korrekt er jeg sikre på…. -men litt mye. Ken Follet er en mester🤩 innleseren er ok han og

The story is what you’d expect from Ken Follett, decent entertainment for 30+ hours. The narrator is hard to take seriously, as he genuinely sounds like Stephen Toast (look it up, he is hilarious).
