From the internationally acclaimed author of Pillars of the Earth comes a new masterpiece of richly developed characters and historical accuracy. Fall of Giants is the first book in the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett. The Welsh author has sold more than 100 million copies of his works worlside, including Pillars of the Earth, which has been adapted into television mini series by HBO.

From Amazon: The story follows five families across the globe as their fates intertwine with the extraordinary events of World War I, the political struggles within their own countries, and the rise of the feminist movement. Intriguing stories of love and loyalty abound, from a forbidden romance between a German spy and a British aristocrat to a Russian soldier and his scandal-ridden brother in love with the same woman. Action-packed with blood on the battlefield and conspiracies behind closed doors, Fall of Giants brings the nuances of each character to life and shifts easily from dirty coal mines to sparkling palaces. There is so much to love here, and the good news is the end is just the beginning: Fall of Giants is the first in a planned trilogy. --Miriam Landis --
