From Library Journal
When Pierre Servais learns from a refugee that his twin brother, Patrique, might be alive, a search begins that leads Pierre and his friend Jake Burnes from France through Gibraltar to Morocco. Patrique, a leader in the French Resistance, had been presumed dead for some time, the result of an enemy ambush. During the quest to find his brother, Pierre once again encounters the beautiful Jasmyn, his former lover, who betrayed him with a Nazi officer, but now she appears to have information on Patrique's whereabouts. Although full of intrigue and adventure, this tale, book two in "The Destiny" series, relies heavily on the predictable and clich?d, along with an intrusive Christian message. Its appeal will be to those wanting a superficial, fast-moving story with few surprises and little subtlety. Ron Varela reads with conviction, breathing life and believability into the characters. Despite excellent audio quality, this program is a marginal purchase.ANancy R. Ives, SUNY at Geneseo

About the Author
A native North Carolinian who now lives abroad,
T. Davis Bunn was recognized internationally as a consultant, lecturer, and speaker in the area of international finance and received invitations to address symposiums, conferences, and management meetings. His professional interests took a decided turn nearly eighteen years ago. Although he continued his career in international finance, he became a "closet" novelist. For nine years, he wrote with discipline and drive, never to have anything published. When one of his novels came to the attention of Bethany House Publishers, his status as an unpublished novelist changed. His first book,
The Presence, was published in 1990 and quickly became a bestseller.
A prolific writer, he now has over twenty books in publication, including three with Janette Oke, a wonderful children's picture book called Princess Bella and the Red Velvet Hat, the heartwarming gift book The Quilt, and his latest, The Dream Voyagers, originally published under the pen name Thomas Locke.
"The novels I've had published by Bethany House are the direction I hope my future writing will take--captivating stories of intrigue, drama and faith, with compelling characters in an enjoyable contemporary fictional setting," says Bunn. "The emotional bonding that occurs with the reader in good fiction often gives the Christian message more direct meaning in the reader's life."
Prior to his work in international finance, Davis completed studies in psychology and economics at Wake Forest University. Fluent in three languages, he has traveled extensively in more than forty countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Davis has also avocationally become a serious student of comparative religion, learning from Jewish rabbis, Buddhist monks, Muslim imams, Catholic priests, and Baptist ministers. Drawing on these experiences, Davis fills his books with colorful dialogue and richly textured settings.
