In the grand tradition of Artbur Hailey and

Barbara Taylor Bradfbrd comes Towers, a

sweeping, multi-generational novel of two

dynastic real estate families--the Northerns

and the Eichenbergs--their fortunes, their

loves, the powerplays they win and lose.

From the boardrooms and bedrooms of the

most spectacular buildings in the world their

epic story is lit with the flame of passion and

conflict, climaxing with the most ambitious

real estate development ever.

We follow the Eichenbergs and the North-

erns from the loss of their vast European

estates in war-torn Austria in 1866 to the

brawling new world of America. There they

rise separately from the ruins to lead the

construction of a new nation, and with it,

separate visions of genius tbat often ex-

plosively interlock. But for all their unim-

aginable wealth and power, their personal

worlds hold twisted, interweaving tragedies,

until, ultimately, the last generation tri-

umphs in love, capping a passionate riotous

century in which men and women of both

families build their towers to challenge the

heavens.
