Fall of Giants Book One of the Century Trilogy

From the Welsh coal mines to the corridors of Washington D.C., and from the palaces of St. Petersburg to the trenches of World War I, the world is on the brink of monumental change. The old aristocratic order is crumbling, and the lives of five interconnected families - Welsh, English, German, Russian, and American - are about to be swept up in the tides of war, revolution, and social upheaval. A young miner enters a man's world, a president's aide finds a new career, and two Russian brothers embark on radically different paths as their lives, loves, and loyalties are tested by the cataclysmic events shaping the 20th century.

This historical epic follows the fates of its characters as they navigate a world where personal dramas intersect with global conflict. It explores the struggle for power, the fight for women's suffrage, and the forbidden love that crosses enemy lines. Moving from the danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, the story reveals how the defining moments of an era are ultimately shaped by the choices of individuals. This is a narrative of the seismic shifts that redefined a century, seen through the eyes of those who lived it.
