Two families grow a small munitions factory into a global empire in
this saga by a New York Times–bestselling author spanning from
1837 to the eve of World War I. In 1837, Joseph Barbour, an upper
servant in an English village, immigrates with his family to
America so he can make his fortune in the nascent artillery
business. A man of vision, Joseph foresees a time when wars will
not be won with courage and brave hearts but rather by the nations
with superior firearms. Â Joseph and his family settle in a
rural Pennsylvania village, but his wife, Hilda, is unhappy and
longs to return to England. Their shy and sensitive younger son,
Martin, is also homesick, but what troubles him most is the cruelty
and violence he sees in his older brother, Ernest. Martin’s fears
come to fruition when Joseph forms a gunpowder firm with Armand
Bouchard, who lives with his wife and three sons down the road from
the Barbours. Â As the years pass, Ernest proves himself
invaluable to Barbour & Bouchard. Ruthless and ambitious, he
takes what he wants. But beautiful Amy Drumhill continues to elude
him and becomes the catalyst in a war that will estrange the two
brothers and leave Ernest haunted by the blood that will be forever
on his hands. Â Dynasty of Death is a moving saga of two
families, the epic struggle between two brothers, and the legacy
their guns will leave the world as mighty enemy nations gear up for
battle.
