Editor’s note The Pillars of the Earth (1989), about building a cathedral in 12th-century England, is his most-read and best-rated book. The other Kingsbridge novels jump centuries and stand alone; The Evening and the Morning is a prequel. The Century Trilogy covers the 20th century; his early spy thrillers, like Eye of the Needle, rate lower.
