Summary
As the Nazis bring Denmark to its knees, a resistance forms – and make a discovery that could turn the tide of war. From the master storyteller Ken Follett, Hornet Flight is a startling thriller set amidst the Danish Resistance of the Second World War.
Europe in Darkness
1941. The Nazis have Denmark in their vice-like grip, their malign presence corroding everything its inhabitants hold dear. Even the police betray their countrymen and work with the Gestapo to hunt down spies.
A Glimmer of Hope
In this hostile climate the Danish resistance discover a secret that could change the course of the war – proof of an advanced German radar installation that is causing catastrophic losses to Allied planes bringing the fight to Germany.
A Dangerous Mission
The resistance must get the information to the British and will have only one chance, using a near-derelict Hornet Moth bi-plane mouldering away in a church. If they succeed the balance of the war will be tipped in the Allies’ favour but failure will see them killed...

Really good WW2 novel
Really enjoyed this, shorter than his big sagas but still very good. Great description and characters building to a satisfactory finish.

Easy listening
It’s a little cheesy and predictable but still a pleasant yarn! Worth a listen I think.

Very good wartime story
The pace of this story never slackened. I like the way the author never pulls his punches with characters meaning that even main characters can get killed. This means that right until the end of the book you never know if it will succeed or not. Well narrated with lots of very different "voices" used by the narrator to differentiate the characters.

Very good story with an outstanding narration
This was my first audiobook by Ken Follet. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A very good story, able to keep the interest of the listener to the very end. The narration is superb, it just lets the story play the main role, which is not really surprising, as Nigel Carrington is one of the best audiobook narrators I had the opportunity to listen to.
Recommended.
