Summary
A family Christmas, a blizzard, and a deadly virus let loose. Filled with startling twists, Whiteout is the ultimate knife-edge drama from bestselling author Ken Follett.
A Family Reunited
As a blizzard descends from the north on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family estate in Scotland. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus.
A Brewing Storm
Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; and a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it.
A House Under Siege
A sinister gang spots an opportunity to use one of Stanley’s children against him and steal the virus. As everyone takes shelter, it becomes apparent that being inside the house may be more dangerous than the storm outside, especially when a lethal virus might be on the loose...
Critic reviews
"Human betrayal, medical terror and a race against time...this is gasp a minute stuff by a vintage practitioner." (Daily Mail)

Tension builds and this book is a real page turner however at times it felt as if it was one crisis followed by another
An excellent book which kept me riveted but also a little frustrated as bad things kept happening! A great narrator and the characters were believable and live in your mind long after you have finished the book.

Poor narration, OK story
I usually love Ken Follett, but it almost seems that the narrator was only chosen because of her Scottish accent (the story is set in Scotland) than for any other reason. The narration is monotone with few attempts at injecting a performance.
Perhaps because of that the story itself appears to be predictable and unengaging.
Disappointed.

Not Ken's finest, but ok
This should have been called "I wish someone had a mobile phone on them". I also would recommend that this is read just before Christmas.

Great Narration
This book is extremely well narrated by Sally Armstrong. She excelled in her portrayal of the various accents and different voices
Having read three other Ken Follett books (Fall of Giants, Edge of Eternity and Pillars of the Earth) which I rated all three as five star, this one did not hit the mark. It is still worth reading, but just fell a bit short of his usual high standard.
