Description
An arms-dealing family confronts a moral dilemma in the nuclear age.
During a family reunion at their ancestral castle, the famed Von Kassel family — arms dealers for over a hundred years — suddenly find themselves in possession of stolen plutonium capable of creating the most destructive weapon on earth.
Previously aloof from the moral implications of their business, the family is torn apart by the deadly potential of their recent acquisition. Family conflicts are ignited that had long been avoided in order to maintain solidarity and the insulation of wealth and power.
Through fascinating and startling familial relationships, the reader is drawn into the web of power and intrigue that motivates people who once believed they were above moral or ethical considerations.

Claudete T, Reviewer
Blood Ties is a story that tries to shed some light on why some people specialize in dealing with deadly weapons, or who believe that some races are superior to others, or to explain why the jews, gypsies, and people with special needs were deemed to extermination during WWII. It's also a description of human nature's need for power and control, and all the atrocities that may be committed to honoring those needs. This is not the sort of story that you start and go on reading light-hearted, it's a sad tale - but real -, and as human history has shown many times, there's always time to introduce changes and get people's comply with those changes for a happier life.
I downloaded a free copy of this book through NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
