Valiant Hearts concludes the sweeping World War I saga begun in Arabian Winds and continued in Lions of the Desert. Having at last declared his love for Allison Wescott, a Christian missionary nurse supporting British troops in Egypt, daring British Intelligence Officer Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared-with a secret treasure from the ancient tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh! Frantic, filled with fear, Allison determines to find him, but before she can do so, she's swept up in the exciting events of the great war breaking across Palestine. It is when she least expects it that she finally finds Bret again. He's wounded-and they become trapped together behind enemy lines near Jerusalem....

Linda's absolute GREATEST book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Valiant Hearts (Egypt Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
Wow! Linda delights us again in her most explosive book yet! I totally and completely fell in love with Valiant Hearts as soon as I read it. I just know that I'll be reading it hundreds more times!Allison Wescott, in the final chapter of the Lions of the Desert saga, finds herself back in the Arabian Desert. Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared again (that guy has an aggravating knack for doing that! ) and she doesn't know if she'll see him again, much less marry him as they had planned. He seems to be avoiding her... Allison goes back to Blaine House, haunted by memories of murder and stalkings, and has a close brush with death. And WHO, she wonders, keeps sending her white roses with cryptic, mysterious notes? Suddenly, Bret reappears in her life. Bret, who works for the British CID, is brought under charges of smuggling treasure. Allison doesn't know what to think. Why is Bret acting so strangely and why does he seem to be rekindling his old flame with the gorgeous Cynthia Walsh? But Allison has more threatening things to think about. She must discover the identity of the murderer from Blaine House...before he comes after her. The explosive, thrilling ending will keep you glued to the pages till the end! Ooh, it was so exciting! Read it, I guarantee you'll love it!

Supper will be late...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Valiant Hearts (Egypt Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
I was able to read this book and finish the series by going to the library, as the book is no longer in print. It was as hard to put down as the others, Arabian Winds and Lions of the Desert. I nearly ripped a page in an effort to keep up with the mystery. If your children are patient, the laundry can wait and supper can be ordered out for a couple of days, I highly recommend this book.

An excellent, well-written book and a superb conclusion!,
By Jennie "cooljennie2000" (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Valiant Hearts (Egypt Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
I couldn't get over this book. I have read it at least more than a dozen times. I still think it's one of the best books I've ever read. Allison Wescott, a WWI British field nurse, is wondering about what the rumours in Cairo about the man she loves: Colonel Bret Holden. Bret is being accused of smuggling treasures and committing treason. Allison knows that the charges cannot be true. Bret Holden is one of the most valiant, loyal men she has ever met. Why the accusations? But Bret isn't anywhere near to tell her what is going on...and the Egyptian treasure,the golden statue of Nefertari that Allison and Bret had found in a sundial, is missing too. Could the accusations have some truth to them? Where is Bret? Then there is also the trial of Allison's cousin Gilbert Simonds along with a new speculation by Allison's sister Beth that Sarah Blaine's death is not what it had appeared at first. Did Gilbert really kill Sarah? If not then who? Allison must learn to trust in Bret and her Lord as she navigates through the treacherous path of espionage, murder, deceit, suspicion and betrayal. She then finds out that she has become the target of another murderer. The big fish that everyone is looking for. What does the future have in store for Allison and Bret? Will they come through this alive? A thriller story to be sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. What a terrific conclusion to Linda Chaikin's LIONS OF THE DESERT series. I'm looking forward to whatever more is coming our way from her!
