"More than a tale of American war heroes, The End of the Empire is a history lesson wrapped in a love story spanning three generations of very real and imperfect all-American families.
Loveland brilliantly blends together the beauty and the burdens of building and keeping wealth—spiritual, emotional, and financial—in an ever-changing and increasingly polarized world.
Get ready to open your hearts and dream with the diverse and dynamic cast of characters as they make their way through the struggles and victories of their interwoven journeys."

"Loveland captures the country's post-WWII mood and values by following the MacAlpine and Bergen families through the decades. The references to actual historical events
brought back memories of those times and captures the essence of America's post-war period."

"An odyssey! Loveland hits all the right notes: complex, memorable characters with honor, grit, and
determination, and families to root for and weep with."

"A compelling and timely story, weaving personable storytelling with historical events. It takes courage to
bite off such an epic family tale, which is told with both a warmth toward the characters and the cold,
dispassionate lens of history. This book explores the tension between darkness and light, despair and hope.
I can only imagine the range of emotions the author battled as the story unfolded in his mind and imagination."

"The Trump era and the pandemic created confusion and discontinuity. What we knew before doesn't seem so
certain now. In this new world, I found the books piling up on the bedside table, I just wasn't connecting
with them. But The End of the Empire grabbed me from the start and kept me engaged.
Loveland's storytelling anchors the book to something meaningful in these times—resilience. Our country's
history has both light and dark, just like the families at the center of this novel, but in context and
in reality there is a welcome reminder that even with loss, we can stumble through and celebrate life."
