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."
