Before there were Nazi's and the Holocaust and Pearl Harbor, there were kingdoms and empires crumbling across Europe, there was the Armenian genocide, there was Gallipoli and Verdun. Although a British spy story on it's face, "Kingdoms Fall - The Laxenburg Message" (the first book in a series of three) is a saga about the war itself and about how the world was changing, or at least how it appeared to be changing to the two main heroes of the story - a clever and vicious young Lieutenant from the streets of Manchester and an even younger but brilliant Captain who is the son of a Lord and top student at Eton. In this first book, we meet the young spies and see them mature - I can hardly wait to see where they go from here. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction, spy stories, or military fiction. It’s an exciting, fun and suspenseful story that will remind you why WWI was called the "Great War."
