Ken Follett is an author known primarily for his talent for writing multi-character spy works. In The Flight of the Wasp, he again works with these elements, but with the differential of being based on something that really happened.

Telling the story of two young Danes seeking freedom at the time of the Nazi invasion, The Flight of the Wasp distinguished by historical accounts. Follett ties the plot together by mixing real events with fictional moments, making the book interesting and informative.

Written in third person, the work is conducted through intelligent dialogues and a lot of action, which manages to hold the reader's attention. The author manages to describe the complicated scenario of the second world war with mastery, so that the reader can actually imagine the clashes of the war and its explosions without any difficulty. In the midst of all this, Follett leads the various characters with a lot of richness in the details, leaving no confusion about their pasts or their actions.

We follow the maturation of the characters, especially the protagonists Harald and karen, as we are taken through several moments of tension, mainly regarding the fate of the spies. These moments help the reader not be able to put down the reading, giving the delicious need to desperately know how it all ends.

The combination of all these elements results in a truly remarkable work. Ken Follett delivers a book of more than 400 pages without showing difficulties in keeping the reader's interest - who will certainly read this work voraciously. Once again, the author proves his talent and masterfully conducts this interesting and tense plot.
