Magnificent historical entertainment from the author of the two major bestsellers SONS OF THE EARTH and INFINITE WORLD. FALL OF THE GIGANTS is the first part of a great trilogy about the 20th century and deals with the time around World War I and the Russian Revolution, about women and men, love and enmity. In January 1914, England's King George V meets with a group of forward-thinking and influential young men from Europe and the United States to hear their thoughts on the world situation. International tensions are aired, but no one in the company imagines that a gunshot in Sarajevo less than six months later will trigger a war in Europe that turns friend into foe, with the young men in the company fighting on opposite sides. In FALL OF THE GIGANTS, Ken Follett tells the story of five families - two English, one German, one Russian and one American. We follow them from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of the coal mines to the gleaming chandeliers of the mansion, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms. The years around World War I take center stage in this first volume, and Follett gives a detailed and gripping account of the grand political game leading up to the outbreak of war, the Russian Revolution and the fight for women's suffrage. About life in the trenches, about love between high and low - and about lovers who are separated. ****** 'Ken Follett knows his stuff,' - Jyllands-Posten ****** 'Ken Follett's new book is superb,' - Børsen
