So, I just finished reading the next series in the ongoing story written by Bodie and Brock Thoene: the Zion Legacy Series. (Caution- spoilers ahead if you haven't read the first 2 series fully)
Zion Legacy picks up where the Zion Covenant Series and the Zion Chronicles Series leave off, except a few weeks later—3 weeks after Israel's Independence day in 1948. You see the same characters from Zion Chronicles: Moshe and Rachel Sachar, Rabbi Lebowitz, Yacov, and Shaul, David and Ellie Meyer, Ehud Schiff and others.
But, they are joined from some familiar faces from Zion Covenant: Jacob and Lori Kalner, Alfie Hadler, and more.
I will say, that through all 3 of these series', there are times that it's difficult to follow the action because there's so much fighting; so much war—which is realistic. It's just easy to get lost in it all because there are times, especially in Zion Chronicles, where it seems just like battle after battle after battle.
But this 3rd series, Zion Legacy, is very different (especially the last 3 books). And there's a FASCINATING sub-story that I wanted more and more off. Rabbi Lebowitz takes Moshe Sachar down into the tunnels to a secret room that is INCREDIBLE and is filled with scrolls that have been kept in hiding since the beginning of Jerusalem. Basically, only 1 man knew at a time that this room existed throughout history, passing the knowledge on to a younger man when they were near death.
Oh man- read this series so that you can go through the tunnels along with these men and spend time in this secret chamber!
