Summary
Abridged edition, read by Alex Jennings (The Undeclared War, This Is Going to Hurt).
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...

Critic reviews
"Best-selling Welsh author Follett has made a career out of the WWII suspense thriller...and he hits the mark again with this dramatic and tragic tale of amateur spies pursued by Nazi collaborators in occupied Denmark in 1941." (Publishers Weekly)

A thrilling well researched novel.
A thrilling abridged version of Hornet Flight. Ken Follett writes brilliantly, the action and suspense quickly begins in this WW2 novel set in Denmark. The heroic exploits of the characters drew me into the book, and I was willing them on to succeed. A most excellent listen.

Excellent story and narration
I really enjoyed this war story from a Danish point of view. You can't fault Alex Jennings as a narrator either, he is exceptional always.
