Hornet Flight – Ken Follett

Description

Hornet Flight by Ken Follett is a gripping historical thriller set in the early days of World War II. The novel follows eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen on the German-occupied Danish island of Sande in June 1941. When Harald stumbles upon a secret that could alter the course of the war, he faces a daunting mission: to deliver vital intelligence to England. The challenge? He has no means to escape except for an old, derelict Hornet Moth biplane rusting in a ruined church — a plane unlikely to fly, and Harald lacking any flying experience.

With tension mounting against the backdrop of wartime danger and espionage, Hornet Flight combines Follett’s trademark storytelling with thrilling action and historical detail. It captures the courage and resourcefulness of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, making it a compelling read for fans of World War II fiction and suspenseful adventure.

Ideal for readers who enjoy fast-paced thrillers infused with rich historical atmosphere and high-stakes drama.
