Summary: The Love of My Life
Review: These books, as well as this series, are absolutely incredible! This review is late in coming, I should have written this years back when I first read this series, but as they say, it is better late than never. WW2 has always fascinated me (from the European view) and so of course these books were a wonderful outlet for my imagination. I will favor these books my entire life, I feel.

Summary: Brings the period to life
Review: This book was wonderful- I learned so much more about WWII Europe than I ever did sitting in a boring history class (sorry, professors!). Putting a face on the victims of one man and his minions' insatiable quest for power and revenge made the experience real for me- the atrocities that happened long ago have been softened by time, completely forgotten, or worse, distorted and misrepresented. The Zion books are a reminder of what occurred over fifty years ago and a tribute to the strength and faith that the Jewish people possess.

Summary: You Are Starting A Great Book
Review: This is the first book of "The Zion Covenant" series. It was also the first book I have ever read by Bodie Thoene. She is now my favorite author.
