Ken Follett leaves an impressive body of work in his wake since his first book hit the shelves nearly 40 years ago. (Blame her thuggish father, movie magnate Lev.) This doesn't stop her though if she can't have a rich American husband, there's still a bit of money left in Britain. Meanwhile, young socialite Daisy Peshkov has marriage on her mind but isn’t considered a respectable prospect in her native USA. After visiting the von Ulrichs, young Lloyd Williams takes mental images of the brutality gripping Germany home to England, images that fire him up to fight against the fascist threat elsewhere in Europe. German politician Walter von Ulrich and his wife (and former English aristocrat) Maud watch in horror as Adolf Hitler's National Socialists increase their hold a rise in popularity that invigorates their son Erik. The world of 1933 seems to be about to disprove the idea that WWI was the war to end all wars.
