One hundred years ago, the world changed forever in one of the bloodiest wars of all time. The “KINGDOMS FALL” series tells the story of World War I as seen by two British officers newly recruited into the fledgling Secret Intelligence Service. As the young agents pursue their missions for Great Britain, they see (and sometimes cause) catastrophic events that shake the foundations of Western Civilization.

“KINGDOMS FALL – THE LAXENBURG MESSAGE” is the first in a series of three novels. David Gresham, a streetwise Lieutenant from Manchester, and Captain James Wilkins, the youngest son of Lord Bartlett, are recruited into the British intelligence services during the landing at Gallipoli in 1915. They are sent to Salonika to prepare for the Allied landings in Greece and meet the rebellious Prime Minister Venizelos, but they soon depart for Serbia to rescue King Peter from the invading Austrian and Bulgarian armies. After a disastrous retreat with the Serbians, Gresham and Wilkins travel to Vienna with a plot to destroy the Hapsburg dynasty, but when they are alerted to the imminent enemy offensive at Verdun, the young officers must race to France before the German army can “bleed France white.”
Praise for Kingdoms Fall series:
“Edward Parr’s historical fiction features breathtaking scenes portraying real events from World War I in his Kingdoms Fall series. . . . [T]he story is easily addictive as the reader is caught up in some remarkable events. Non-stop action drives the story to its conclusion and it avoids feeling like a history lesson even though it is historically based.” – Portland Book Review, 5 Stars
“I’ll be the first to admit that I loved the mystery aspect of James Bond and other spy books. The way the author was able to bring in real people, places, and events and tie them to the work of fiction was awesome. Between the single letter names, politics, and action, I’d recommend this book to any spy fan out there. It’s going back on my “Read Again” shelf!” IABookReviews.com
