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.

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!

I bought used books, and they were in very good shape. I enjoyed the final book of this series and read it two times. I then donated the book to our church library.

While I greatly enjoyed the original series, the last three books (London Refrain, Paris Encore, Dunkirk Crescendo) are formulaic add-ons far below the quality of the books in the original series. Most of the material in these three books appeared previously in the book The Twilight of Courage. These three books are a thin excuse for an additional set of titles to publish (and of course, to sell), and left me feeling cheated.

I just love ALL of the Thoene's book. The husband and wife are a great team...he works on getting the "history" right and she writes the books. I just love learning about history in such a interesting way they weave history into great stories.

I love these books. I've been reading them since I was ten years old and I don't think I'll ever stop. I find something new in them each time. We need more books like this, historical fiction, romantic but not sleazy, uplifting and inspiring.

I must say I was a bit disappointed in this one. It was a great read don't get me wrong. I just would have wanted to learn more about the earlier characters. This was my first Theone series I will check them out again. Also the information on the war and pre-war things the Jews went thru was well woven into the stories.

A must-read for anyone concerned about religious liberty and parental rights in America. This is a great fictional story woven intricately together with what could happen. Your children could be considered raised in a hostile environment (and potentially removed from your home) because they attend a Christian school and what can you do about it? The author is a great storyteller and you won't want to put it down!

Book arrived quickly and in shape described. I am very satisfied with the seller. Thanks.
