From master storyteller Gerald N. Lund comes the next blockbuster historical fiction series, Fire and Steel, Volume One: A Generation Rising, blending the powerful stories of two families on different continents the Eckhardts in southern Germany and the Westlands in southern Utah. While their circumstances are as divergent as their geography, each family must cope with trials that test their courage and fortitude. Spanning more than sixty years, the series follows the Eckhardts and the Westlands through some of the most turbulent times in history, including World War I, the Great Depression, the rise of Nazi Germany, and the Second World War with its devastating aftermath.

In volume one, A Generation Rising, life could not be more promising for the Eckhardts. They finally have a son, Hans Otto Eckhardt, the male heir they have longed for and a child of such brilliance and promise that his success seems certain. But as youthful Hans's ambition takes him away from his family and their small Bavarian village, the winds of unrest in Europe are about to erupt into the greatest war the world has ever known.

I absolutely love this author's writing style and the depth of his research. Lund's writing places you right in the middle of history, doing so in a way that allows you to connect with the characters and become emotionally invested in their stories. He does a good job showing multiple perspectives and how the confusion and corruption begin. The narration is fantastic. I always enjoy Kirby Heyborne's skill in narrating. I enjoyed this so much that I used up most of my credits on the rest of the series. If you're interested in World War I and World War II history, I highly recommend this series; it's very well done.
