SynopsisFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Archer Cometh the Hour opens with the reading of a suicide note, which has devastating consequences for Harry and Emma Clifton, Giles Barrington and Lady Virginia. Giles must decide if he should withdraw from politics and try to rescue Karin, the woman he loves, from behind the Iron Curtain. But is Karin truly in love with him, or is she a spy? Lady Virginia is facing bankruptcy, and can see no way out of her financial problems, until she is introduced to the hapless Cyrus T. Grant III from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who's in England to see his horse run at Royal Ascot. Sebastian Clifton is now the Chief Executive of Farthings Bank and a workaholic, whose personal life is thrown into disarray when he falls for Priya, a beautiful Indian girl. But her parents have already chosen the man she is going to marry. Meanwhile, Sebastian's rivals Adrian Sloane and Desmond Mellor are still plotting to bring him and his chairman Hakim Bishara down, so they can take over Farthings. Harry Clifton remains determined to get Anatoly Babakov released from a gulag in Siberia, following the international success of his acclaimed book, Uncle Joe . But then something unexpected happens that none of them could have anticipated. Cometh the Hour is the penultimate book in the Clifton Chronicles and, like the five previous novels - all of which hit the New York Times bestseller list - showcases Jeffrey Archer's extraordinary storytelling with his trademark twists., The 6th volume in Jeffrey Archer's New York Times bestselling Clifton Chronicles series follows the dazzling tale of the Clifton family's love, loss, betrayal and ambition through another decade

  • Jeffrey Archer Series

    Read the series in sequence for a better understanding of each characters. Archer gives the reader an excellent character development for each of the people involved in the story plot. There is another book of the Clifton Chronicel Series coming out in November of 2016. Can't wait to read that one and to see how the intergenerational story ends. Excellent read!!!

  • Can't Stop Reading The Clifton Chronicles

    These stories are pure escapism but thoroughly enjoyable. Nice short chapters. Well written. Characters you get to know well and both like and hate. Good guys - bad guys - romance - horrible deeds - unexpected twists - the whole package. There is always a historical backdrop to all of Archer's novels and in this book it's the 1970's so that makes it more interesting to me as that is when I was a young adult and remember that time frame pretty well.
