The Storm Descends

Fire and Steel, Vol. 2

By: Gerald N. Lund

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

In the second volume of bestselling author Gerald N. Lund's explosive new series, the Eckhardt family finds that the turmoil in their lives will only increase as they try to move forward in a nation divided. Sergeant Hans Eckhardt has been discharged from his military service and wants nothing more than to start a new life with a career and a family, but the unrest swallowing his homeland seems determined to stop him.

Suffering the devastating impact of defeat in the Great War, the people of Germany must find ways to face widespread food shortages, crippling unemployment, skyrocketing inflation, and the forced disbandment of the German military. The nation becomes a hotbed of revolutionary attacks, bringing the fledgling government to its knees. Conditions are so grim that the German people are desperate for someone—anyone—to step forward and bring stability back to their beloved Fatherland.

But as the flames of adversity grow more threatening, hope is on the horizon for the German Saints. With the help of Mitch Westland, from faraway southern Utah, they discover that the Lord has not forgotten them.

this is only my second time listening

I loved all of it. I wish that Gerald Lund would have write another series in addition to the fire and steel series

Captivating story and narration

I liked everything about this story and book as well as the narrator. I would highly recommend it.

The historical accuracy with a little literary license.

The reader has a wide tone variability, one of the best, but there are so many characters, that it would be nicer to have a female read female parts and a man read the male parts.

Wow

Driven to the end with each chapter. Love the mix with true events of WWII. Hitler because a real person for me.
