With his riveting prose and unerring instinct for suspense, the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author takes to the skies over Europe during the early days of the war in a most extraordinary novel. . . . \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is June 1941, and the war is not going well for England. Somehow, the Germans are anticipating the RAF's flight paths and shooting down British bombers with impunity. Meanwhile, across the North Sea, eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen takes a shortcut on the German-occupied Danish island of Sande and discovers an astonishing sight. He doesn't know what it is, but he knows he must tell someone. And when he learns the truth, it will fall upon him to deliver word to England—except that he has no way to get there. He has only an old derelict Hornet Moth biplane rusting away in a ruined church—a plane so decrepit that it is unlikely to ever get off the ground . . . even if Harald knew how to fly it.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eHornet Flight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An intricately woven espionage yarn . . . a gritty picture of the spy game and wartime Europe.\" —\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Follett at his compelling best.\" —\u003ci\u003eThe Hartford Courant\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Zips along to an exhilarating climax.\" —\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Buzzing with intrigue. . . .
