Zion Covenant #9
Dunkirk Crescendo
AS SPRING 1940 UNFOLDS IN PARIS, war is inevitable. AP journalist Josephine Marlow is asked to undertake a dangerous journey back into the borders of the Reich-just when the Führer is gathering his forces for another invasion. If she is successful, a child will live. If not, he will die. And many other children, too.
French colonel Andre Chardon knows that the undefeated Führer will not hold back his Blitzkrieg long from France. But the plan of attack revealed in a coded message is so audacious that no one believes Andre. Whom can he convince? Who will have the courage to act before thousands of innocents are slaughtered?
And is a miracle at Dunkirk Harbor possible?

The Thoenes are known for their amazing historical fiction works, but this is not one of them. Although the writing was good and the story engaging--as always--the connection with the first six volumes, as well as the rest of the series, seemed a bit forced, not to mention tacked-on. Regardless, Dunkirk Crescendo is a enjoyable read, but it's still not what fans have come to expect from the Thoenes.

*Claps hands* and that's it folks! I've officially finished this nine-novel long series.
To be honest, I think I could've left it at book six and been fine. Book 6 was definitely a better finale ending to the series. And if the last three books had been marketed a spin-off series, rather than tagged on the end of this one, I think it would've been better.
But despite that, this wasn't a bad book. I will say it's an intense one. About as intense as I'd like to read. There is a lot of death, though of course that's war.
One of the things I liked about this series, and perhaps about Bodie and Brock Thoene's historical fiction in general, is the... Well, it all seems like things are falling apart. It's very realistic. And yet somehow, things generally turn out alright. It shows how God is active in our lives, even when things may seem to be falling apart and a miracle that we need not forth-coming, and this is especially shown in how Yacov made it to his grandfather in Jerusalem.
Also, can I just say I adore Lewinski, that red-haired simple genius! He's so quirky and smart. I like quirky smart characters, lol.
Finally, I must comment on the horses. Yes, there are horses. Thankfully things weren't *too* unrealistic when it came to the horses. There were some moments where I was like "Yeah that's not quite the way that is" but not terribly cringe-y.
Overall, this was another good book from the Thoenes, not their best, but certainly not their worst, show-casing that even in the darkest times, amidst so much death and chaos, where it seems the innocent die for no reason and evil marches on unimpeded, God is still at work.

This series has been an amazing read for me! I have learned so much about WWII and i cannot wait to continue reading the next series!

Like two other books that I reviewed recently, I waited too long to write this review. I think I'll stick with what I've said about the other two books in the final trio of this series. It's good but the character development feels a bit stunted, most likely because this book was originally meant to be the last third of a single book, not a stand alone book. There are a few too many characters in my opinion but I enjoyed reading about each of them. I think the events in this book could have made at least two different books that focused on a smaller number of characters. Once again, I'll mention that the historiography is fairly accurate, as accurate as a work of historical fiction can be. This book, like the others, will remain on my shelf. I also, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the series, recommend the books. They are lightyears ahead of most other works of Christian fiction. (I still hate that I have to make that qualification. Christian fiction should and could be much, much better than what it is.)

Last book in the series and no resolution with the characters who started the series?? Come on! Nine books - nine very good, informative, moving books. And I find out that to get the rest of the story on many of the main characters, I have to embark on another long series. Whew...that is very frustrating, given I've already invested so many hours, but I think I'll do it because it really is a fantastic series through which I've learned a lot about the build up to WW 2 and the settlement of Israel.

This is the final book of the series. As I mentioned before, I had not previously read books 7-9 as they were published after I read the first 6.
I think this was the best of the final 3 books. It was obviously a wrapping-up, ending at the Miracle of Dunkirk that managed to rescue some 300,000 troops and ferry them to England.
The series had many memorable characters. The German Horst Von Bockman was one of my favorites; he was a good man and an honorable officer even though he was on the “wrong” side.
Although there were naturally many deaths - it is a war after all - the author spared most of the characters and gave them a happy ending, or at least as far as the series is concerned.
As always when I finish a long series, my biggest dilemma is, what to read next! Do I want to stay in WW2 or move to a different era? Decisions, decisions!

The consistency of the Thoene writing team is amazing. Another excellent work. If you've never read anything by them, Start.
By Dunkirk Crescendo (Zion Covenant #9), I'm feeling more invested in the new characters, and swept up in the breaking of the storm of war over the continent of Europe. This book covers the final movements of the cast as they see clouds approaching, but don't know exactly when the torrent will be unleashed. However, WE know and that adds tension as we struggle with their deliberations (yes, you have to try, but you don't have time for that!). Dunkirk Crescendo remains centered in France, basically following evacuation of civilians and troops up to Dunkirk to run the gauntlet of escape. As with most inspiring fiction, most of our beloved characters survive, but some do not and it can be a painful read.
The authors have a developed skill for capturing the culture and character of various European people and lands. The locations include numerous references to monuments, landmarks, and street names. And the thoughts of our characters, via the omniscient narrator, truly present unique characters with different patterns/ ways of thinking that highlight both their lingual-cultural backgrounds.
The author's have added book discussion questions to facilitate book clubs/ educational readings and their introductory questions center around discovering ones life purpose.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with other reviews on this book. I didn't expect everyone's storyline to be wrapped up, since there are subsequent series, but most storylines were left completely wide open. Not only that, but a lot was rushed. It was unlike many of the previous books, where days stretched out, because everything happened at once. Perilous situations were glossed over--one moment Andre has almost drowned, the next he's going back to the French Army.
Which leads me to my next point. There wasn't much emotion written into the characters, especially Andre. All this action and fighting were swirling around, but it was written more like a non-fiction. Andre and David both had this happen to them. Their thoughts were barely mentioned. The courage of the men at Dunkirk was emphasized, yet I didn't know exactly who they were, and where they were. The pictures being painted just weren't very clear.
Then there were the new characters, and I guessed I missed their introductions, because I didn't know who they were, except for Sepp. I assumed they were all Captain Chardon's cadets. But suddenly there was this POV of Raymond, and I didn't have a clue who Raymond was. Usually I can follow all of the characters in Thoene books, but not this time.
Despite all that, I did enjoy this book. I can't not like a Zion Covenant book. But I'm glad I finished this series. Onto the Zion Chronicles!

History, suspense, romance, tragedy, and edification. This is what you will get out of the Zion Covenant Series. I've rarely read a series with such drama and suspense, and so well written, as this one. Though not every book was perfect, and I found a few to be lacking compared to the others, this is a series that teaches and entertains like few others....

The Zion covenant series is one of the best historical fiction series on pre-WWII Germany and Europe I have ever read. When I read historical fiction, I often look up information that is given in the story to check for accuracy. You will not be disappointed in these books if you like historical fiction that is researched and accurate.

4.5 stars. I’ve finally finished my re-read of the entire Zion Covenant series, but I need to think for a bit before writing a full review. Just know that despite how much I love this series and it’s theme of light despite the darkness - I will no longer recommend it to others without knowing what they can and can’t handle in books.

I could not even tell you for sure if she wrapped up all the story lines. There were too many to keep up with. And nothing at all about the characters we started the series with, which is very frustrating. Like with the last one, there were so many different characters that she didn't have enough time to give any of them any depth. Mac in particular seemed to just bounce around to provide a witness to whatever battle she wanted to talk about And despite it taking up so much of the book, I felt like she still didn't quite make me feel the desperation of the situation at Dunkirk. It all felt very happenstance, like everyone just happened to end up there, no coordination required.
One thing it lacked was any sense of what people in charge (Churchill, for example, whom she's used heavily throughout the series) were thinking. I literally spent the entire second half of the book wondering where the RAF was and finally had to turn to Wikipedia.
I also think these books NEED a section at the end that talks about the real life inspiration for the characters. The thing with the school of cadets really happened. I felt like the two American sisters running the orphanage sounded based in reality, but couldn't find anything to confirm it by googling. From previous books, I know Samuel Orde was based on a real (and really bizarre) person, and I wonder if what happened between Victoria and ... um, Moshe's brother, whose name I can't remember ... was based on an actual incident.
And that also reminds me ... some of the small incidents she describes were interesting or slightly amusing, but had nothing to do contribute to the plot. Which again makes me think that she was drawing from actual accounts or oral histories -- they had the feeling of something included just because it was bizarre and true. And if that's what they are, those also seem like they could some reference or attribution.
And one last thing -- there seemed to be curiously little God in this book. Which ... I thought some of the ways she inserted God in the earlier books was a little contrived and awkward. But there were only two characters (and they were from the same storyline and NOT at Dunkirk at all) who even mentioned him. Maybe it was too hard to bring up God in a situation that makes you wonder where he is, like Dunkirk? But she's done it really well in concentration camps .... It comes across as either a bit cowardly or really weirdly forgetful. Heh. Then again, none of the other major characters from the earlier books made the cut, either.

Dunkirk Crescendo
Read: Jul 3-7, 2022
“AS SPRING 1940 UNFOLDS IN PARIS, war is inevitable. AP journalist Josephine Marlow is asked to undertake a dangerous journey back into the borders of the Reich-just when the Führer is gathering his forces for another invasion. If she is successful, a child will live. If not, he will die. And many other children, too.
French colonel Andre Chardon knows that the undefeated Führer will not hold back his Blitzkrieg long from France. But the plan of attack revealed in a coded message is so audacious that no one believes Andre. Whom can he convince? Who will have the courage to act before thousands of innocents are slaughtered?
And is a miracle at Dunkirk Harbor possible?”
Is that how it ends? I must admit, I'm disappointed with how many of the storylines were left wide open. The rushed pace made the book feel more like a nonfiction account compared to the character-driven narratives of earlier books. I missed the emotional depth; despite the dramatic events, the characters' inner thoughts were barely explored. Nonetheless, this series is well-crafted with its drama and suspense, even if not every installment is perfect. It informs, teaches, and inspires, and I still enjoy it. I look forward to more from this talented husband-and-wife author duo, though I wish there were more books in the series to wrap up the World War II storyline properly. I'm left in suspense, eager to know what happens next for the characters and their unresolved storylines.
Rated: 3.5/5.0

For some reason I started with book 9 in this series (not having read any of 1 through 8). Exciting action, page turner, likable characters. There is a good bit of detail on the history side. The only downside (I suppose) is that all of the main characters are too brave, noble, self-sacrificial. Even the German tank commander is honorable. There is not enough fear, hatred, complaining and torment - especially considering the circumstances. In this vein the most fantastic bravery was in the account of the battle of the L'Ecole de Cavalerie where French cavalry cadets (boys), greatly outnumbered, held off the German advance when apparently everyone else was retreating to Dunkirk. It seems though that there really was such a battle and even the Germans in after action reports indicated that the cadets fought bravely. The location and tactical importance of the battle were different in real life. Despite this complaint (or maybe because of it) I ordered book 1 on Amazon.
June 24, 2024
Ok... I just finished the entire 9 book series, I had read 1-6 about 20 years ago and I picked them up again earlier this year to find out there were 3 more. The original 6 were still masterfully done... they could be called timeless classics of this genre.
HOWEVER, while I don't hate the additional 3... I'm disappointed in them. Several characters from the original 6, their stories were left dangling (Lucy, Orde and the boys; Rachel and her family; Leah and Shimon)... new characters were added that were under-developed (Eva, Andre, even Josie), I didn't care about them the same way I cared about some of the originals. The story arches were also underdeveloped (Did David and Annie find each other after Dunkirk???) They left me wanting more from these stories that were just getting going, it needed more depth. I'm glad I read them, but if I choose to read them again, I might stop at the original 6.

In the spring of 1940, people wondered, Is Hitler unstoppable? Will the Nazis take over the world, reshaping the world for their twisted purposes? Will life ever be the same? As the spring unfolds in Paris war was inevitable. AP journalist Josephine Marlow is asked to undertake a dangerous journey back into the borders of the Reich just when the Fuhrer if gathering his forces for another invasion. If she is successful, a child will live. If not, he will die. And many other children too.

Finally finished! It took me more than 10 years to read through The Zion Covenant series but it was worth the time. The Thoenes are master storytellers! I have learned more about this period in history through their books than I ever did in school. If you're curious about the events leading up to WW2 and enjoy historical fiction, this one is the one for you.
While the last 3 books are not on par with the first 6, I still think they're well worth the read. Sure, the characters are not Murphy, Elisa and the rest but it was a fun ride with Mac, Josephine, Andre, and the rest. My only complaint about Dunkirk Crescendo is that there isn't much character development as it is more focused on the events surrounding them. This book definitely gave me a better context and understanding of the Dunkirk movie.
Now unto The Zion Chronicles!

It seems there isn't a subject this author can't write about with flair. This time, since one of the main characters taught at France's Ecolle de la Cavallerie, it was horses. Also tanks, boats, and airplanes. This book wasn't as enjoyable as previous volumes in the series, but there were still moments of heart-stopping beauty and emotion. Overall, I would recommend the series to any lover of history, human relations, and Christianity. I hope to explore other series by this author, although I'm going to read books by other people for a while.
June 29, 2023
The last 3 of this full series are rough to get through. The writing is still well done, but the story is much too fast, jumps from one to the next, and is just harder to follow. It moves too quickly to really get pulled in with the characters like you do in the first 6 books. I still enjoy the actual writing of them, but the “directors cuts” as the Thoenes describe them are a failure in my opinion.
January 2, 2021
This series was all about the events in Europe leading up to WWII. It’s refreshing because I grew up learning about everything that happened after the United States entered the war. I connected with the characters, locations and sacrifices made. I cringed at all the politics and poor leadership that fueled Hitlers agenda. All should understand and know about this moment in history.
March 10, 2019
Favourite of the final 3, quite different from the others as quite action oriented but enjoyable to read. Adequate finale, like the ambiguous ending for several characters although some are revisited in Zion Chronicles .
November 4, 2019
A good book, but so many questions about so many characters. Perhaps my questions will be answered in the Gates of Zion series. I heartily recommend this book series. There is so much to learn from it and there were many times I was overcome by the storylines.
January 9, 2021
Part of the Zion Chronicles series. To me these were 'can't put down' kind of books. I love world War II history and these stories really give you a different angle than the general things that we think we know about world War II.
February 12, 2021
The storytelling is strong as it has been in earlier books in this series. I missed having loose threads from earlier books in the series tied up. Some of my favorite characters were barely mentioned.

History comimg.to life
This.final book in the series brings the horror of war to life.it leaves you longing for what is next. I have heard all my life about WWII and this series has made it real. I highly recommend it to anyone.

And… this is the last book of the Zion Covenant. I really enjoyed these books! I loved all the characters and what was even better was that I learned things about World War II that i wouldn’t normally have known. I definitely will be reading these again! 😆🥰

A wonderful series.
A series with lot of reality , truth and meaning. A good 'companion' for the Zion Chronicles. It is also history in everyday language.

I finished a series. All though out all the books I felt bad for the children because they were completely helpless in what happened to them.

This the final book in the Zion Covenant series is a fitting finally. The characters give life to historical fiction.
