The much anticipated follow-up to A Column of Fire, The Armor of Light, ushers in a new era for Kingsbridge, England, where modernity and tradition collide, class conflicts permeate every aspect of life, and war rages across Europe and beyond.
After the invention of the Spinning Jenny in 1770, a new age of industry and manufacturing transformed people's lives all throughout the world in a single generation. A turbulent globe struggles for dominance over this new global order: A man ruthlessly protects his wealth at all costs; a young woman battles to raise money for her school for underprivileged children; a mother's husband dies in a work accident as a result of negligence; and all the while, war cries are heard from France as Napoleon unveils his violent master plan to become emperor of the world. Repercussions of change bounce about our protagonists' lives as they are forced to face the future and a world they must reconstruct from the rubble of war as institutions are questioned and overturned in an unprecedented way.
Ken Follett released The Pillars of the Earth, his best-selling book, more than thirty years ago. With the release of this thrilling chapter in the Kingsbridge series, we are thrust into a conflict between greed and compassion, love and hatred, and progress and tradition. We are offered a fresh viewpoint on the profound changes that rocked nineteenth-century Europe via each individual.
