Product Description
Continuing the addictive saga of the Morland family, now with its many branches spread across the Empire and the new world
1918: German troops flood back from the Russian front for an all-out assault in France, before the Americans can join the war. The under-strength British retreat; and for the first time the real possibility of defeat comes home to a shocked nation. At the front, Bertie struggles to bring his battered battalion out safely; at home Jessie, carrying his child, faces her family’s censure. Thomas follows the Romanovs to Ekaterinburg as Russia descends into bloody civil war. Emma drives an ambulance in the FANY, and Jack is shot down. In the last, terrifying year of the war, the Morlands are more than ever in the thick of it, and only love, faith, and compassion will keep the family safe until the longed-for days of peace.

OUT OF WAR - THE HEARTACHES & THE THOUSAND, RANDOM SHOCKS,
By
This review is from: Dynasty 32: The Fallen Kings (Paperback)
"THE FALLEN KINGS" begins in France in January 1918. Bertie, at a formal investiture ceremony, is awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) by George V for bravery and is promoted to the rank of colonel. The war grounds on relentlessly. There is an anticipation that the Germans, now that Russia is out of the war and has more troops at its disposal, will launch a spring offensive in the West aimed at defeating the British (and, by extension, crushing an already tired and bloodied France) before the Americans can arrive in strength.Before the year is out, the lives of the Morlands (men and women alike) and their families will be radically changed. Some of these changes, alas, will be tragic. War, influenza, unrest in Russia, the search for love --- these separate, yet interconnected, factors figure prominently throughout the novel. And in the denouement, set in a restaurant of a London hotel in 1919, the reader is treated to a mind-blowing cliffhanger, which may have unforeseen consequences for the Morlands. For the Morland Dynasty series fan (like me), this novel is a savory treat that will grab and hold you from start to finish. And for those readers new to the series, you will want to learn more about this incredibly resilient family.

Latest Installment of the Morland Dynasty,
By Andrea R. Waintroob "coldfingers" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dynasty 32: The Fallen Kings (Hardcover)
I don't know how Cynthia Harrod-Eagles does it. She's now taken the Morland family from the earliest times in English history to the end of World War I. Each novel in this lengthy series is excellent. This latest addition is no exception. The characters are interesting and compelling and Harrod-Eagles conveys a convincing feel for their historical context.
