She's got so many characters going at this point that not only can the reader not keep up with them, but there's no room to give any of them a real
personality. And then she wastes valuable space rehashing conversations and information that any reader who has been playing even the slightest
attention is very well aware of. How many times do we need to be told that the allies were stupid for letting Hitler go so long unchallenged or that
the Germans could easily march around rather than though th She's got so many characters going at this point that not only can the reader not keep
up with them, but there's no room to give any of them a real personality. How many times do we need to be told that the allies were stupid for
letting Hitler go so long unchallenged or that the Germans could easily march around rather than though the Maginot Line? When you have the
characters discuss this over and over, it makes them seem like dolts and leaves your readers to assume that you think they are as well.

Chardon heads a top-secret project. It could turn the tide of the war but will the discovery be too late? A German ship with prisoners must be
found. And then the war begins. Feb 04, Leash rated it it was ok. I struggled reading through this book. For me, it was more about the Navy
battles and a lot of political conversations. I missed the plot lines that included the original major characters: John Murphy and Elisa Murphy.
However, some of the characters were nice to read about-the new characters. I was looking for do you read more about what happened to the
characters from book 5 and six. Jun 26, Evelyn Fonseca rated it really liked it. This one was so much better than London Refrain. It was a great
relief to find the same pace and action that I have come to love in the Zion Covenant series. I have favorites among these new characters especially
Mac and Josephine. Unto the last book! I have loved this series. Until this book. Way too many new characters. The flow of the book was
confusing and disjointed. There was an introduction of mildly descriptive "love scenes" that were a little too much for a Christian novel.
The romance was forced among characters. Disappointed in summary. Jan 01, GJ S rated it it was amazing. I am grateful someone had the
courage to write the book so it will go down in history on how the Jews and others were mistreated. Hopefully this is a lesson learned so history
doesn't repeat itself. I recommend the book and the authors. Jun 24, Kira rated it liked it.
Where is Leah? What happened to Mrs. Wallich and Marlene? Orde, Lucy and the others? I understand the need for additional characters to
explain what happens in France and Germany, but what happened to the characters from books ? On to the last book Oct 09, Stephanie rated it
really liked it. The phony war! England and France declare war on Germany and then nothing happens for months and months. I suppose there
was a fair amount of action in the Atlantic with U-boats and battleships. Aug 01, Emily Goode rated it did not like it. Why oh why can't I manage
to finish this book. I have been trying for months and I can't get into it too many new characters. Read the first 6 of the series I love them so so
much but these books feel like snapshots of random people of the time in the world not a continuing story of the characters.

Loving the politics of going to war - the French are infuriating. Sep 18, Edward L rated it it was amazing. I just love the characters in this series
who bring to life the hearts and souls involved in life in europe and Great Britain leading up to WWII. Oct 17, Louise Roth rated it liked it. I
enjoyed the earlier books more. There are a lot of characters to keep track of. But I like moving the story through more of the war years. Loved it

This eighth book in the Zion Covenant seems to be a "second parter" in the 'get Yacov Lubitkin to the Promised Land' story. And then he shows
up years later in the Promised Land in the Zion Chronicles series which was written first. Some of the characters are recurring from prior books,
others from the Zion Chronicles series.
The new characters are, perhaps, not necessary to the story, but a good change of pace and viewpoint. Other characters are trying to unravel the
enigma of Hitler's Enigma machine - and Hitler is looking for the man close to figuring out the code This book's background is France and how
they were "preparing" for war - the French believed that the Maginot Line and Belgium with its twisty roads that made artillery impossible to get
through would protect them, with total willful ignorance of the fact that the Luftwaffe made land-based artillery unnecessary. Nov 21, Jeni Enjaian

I was disappointed yet again as I alluded to in my review for book 7. The final three books of the series simply do not live up to the somewhat high
standard set by the first six. This book is bogged down by too many unfamiliar characters and a lack of connection for those characters to the
previous books in the series. Of the original main characters only John Murphy makes brief appearances throughout. Another detractor? The short
length. I chose the canard, partly because it came with a good serving of vegetables. It was cooked to perfection. Both of or desserts were also
