Kingdoms Fall - The Wieringen Proposal

by Edward Parr

In the final volume of the Kingdoms Fall trilogy, Wilkins and Gresham are no longer trusted agents of the British Secret Intelligence Service after fleeing from Bolshevik Russia, and, following a crucial meeting at Passchendaele, strike out on their own – Gresham to France and Wilkins to Italy – just as the American Expeditionary Force arrives in Europe. However, victory may not be inevitable, and what does the future hold in store for the British empire, Germany, Austria, and the rest of Europe as Russia devolves into chaos? Wilkins considers changing sides, while Gresham wonders whether the Americans are ready to fight a modern war. Somehow, they must seek to put Europe back together.
