Follett takes you to a time long past with brio and razor-sharp storytelling.
An epic tale in which you will lose yourself." -The Denver Post on World Without End

Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical
sweep, beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics as "well-researched,
beautifully detailed [with] a terrifically compelling plot" (The Washington Post)
and "wonderful history wrapped around a gripping story" (St. Louis Post- Dispatch)

Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in
The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families-American,
German, Russian, English, and Welsh-as they move through the world-shaking dramas
of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits...
Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in
Woodrow Wilson's White House...two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov,
embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to
America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution...Billy's sister, Ethel,
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 Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London...

These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga
of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from
Washington to St. Petersburg, 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.
As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and
rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion.
It is destined to be a new classic.

In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families
will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing
themselves-and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings
us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.
