Histoire
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. England is facing attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Those in power bend justice according to their will, regardless of ordinary people and often in conflict with the king. Without a clear rule of law, chaos reigns. In these turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined.

Histoire
This lush novel, set in 1766 England and America, evokes an era ripe with riot and revolution, from the teeming streets of London to the sprawling grounds of a Virginia plantation. Mack McAsh burns with the desire to escape his life of slavery in Scottish coal mines while Lizzie Hallim is desperate to shed a life of sheltered subjugation to her spineless husband. United in America, their only chance for freedom lies beyond the Western frontier - if they're brave enough to take it.

D-Day is approaching. They don’t know where or when, but the Germans know it’ll be soon, and for Felicity "Flick" Clariet, the stakes have never been higher. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has survived to become one of Britain’s most effective operatives in Northern France. She knows that the Germans’ ability to thwart the Allied attack depends upon their lines of communications, and in the days before the invasion, no target is of greater strategic importance than the largest telephone exchange in Europe.

Description
Fall of Giants is Ken Follett's 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 20th 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.

Breathtaking adventure back in time
This book I struggled to put down...pun intended. I got completely engrossed in the story the Ken Follett wrote surrounding the lives of 5 separate families. It completely surrounds you in their lives daily struggles and events of the time period. I was blown away by the accuracy of events described in relation to recorded events. Taking place in world war one "The great War" for a history buff this was a wonderful experience. Constantly staying awake to listen to just one more chapter engaging until the very end. It will take you on an emotional rollercoaster as you develop feelings for each of the characters described.
For an audio book this was amazingly well read. The narriator had captured each character very well with different voices for each character so you could tell the difference. I enjoyed listening to him and was very easy to understand and visualize what he read. All around I loved this novel/listen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a historical drama while keeping the integrity of such historical events. The whole series was well written! Ken Follett is amazingly talented and captured war in such an eloquent way. #Audible1

More brilliance from Follett and Lee
if it weren't for Audible, if never have come across Ken Follett. I'm so pleased that I did. this is the second trilogy that I'm starting and it's as good as the first so far. I expect a lot less time between each story, for obvious reasons, so it's quite important on this occasion to actively listen to reach character being developed.
I can't wait for Fitz to fall!

Always a Fun Read
Appreciably different from the Kingsbridge trilogy. The villains are more nuanced. The epic is more sweeping. For me it got a little slow at times during the war and the Russian revolution. But I like historical fiction because of Ken Follett. I like him best when he dwells on the personal plight and development of each of his characters. And John Lee, the audiobook narrator, is superb as always. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

Brilliant, mesmerizing work!
I absolutely loved listening to this book. The story was masterfully written and narrated! The historical relevance is indisputable and the writing was so creatively funny that I had a few too many lol moments, sometimes in inconvenient places.. Starting Winter of the World as soon as I submit this review!
