As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion and conflict during the Cold War.
When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she
discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the
Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene.
In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a

works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together.
Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet. Her
actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the
Communist Party in the Kremlin.
From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the
swinging streets of Sixties London, Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual
freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known.
