Fall of Giants: Book One of the Century Trilogy (Abridged)

by Ken Follett Narrated by John Lee

Overview

Ken Follett's magnificent new historical epic begins*as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.*

A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man's world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution.*

From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty,*Fall of Giants*takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families-and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .
