2.0 out of 5 stars Dunkirk Crescendo... Anticlimactic at best., July 12, 2005

This review is from: Dunkirk Crescendo (Zion Covenant) (Paperback)

If you've read my other reviews on the newest installments to the Zion Covenant series you'll know I'm an avid fan. However this book fails to impress in SO many ways. To put it best 99% of this book is made up of the latter third of The Twilight of Courage. It only includes a few very minor changes and, to be honest, most of the loose threads of the story and plot are summed up in the two-page epilogue. Terribly disappointing to say the least.

This review is from: Dunkirk Crescendo (Zion Covenant) (Paperback)

Dunkirk Crescendo is the 9th book in The Zion Covenant series by Bodie and Brock Thoene. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. It is filled with great moments in history during WWII, of which I learned much. The book is exciting to read, I highly recommend it. I hope you try out the entire series and all of the Thoene's books for they are excellent writers.
Enjoy! ~Teresa

Out of all of the Zion Covenant books, this one was my least favorite. Too many battle scenes, and not enough character development. If you like to read about battles, you'll probably like this book more than I did, but if not, you'll probably find yourself skipping paragraphs, just like I did!
