Bodie Thoene

Brock Thoene

Trudy, Birch, and Jefferson become caught in the vortex of their country's unrest after World War I and the countdown to the big Crash. On separate paths and through tragic situations, all three must come to terms with their circumstances and find their own faith and direction. Thoene has been awarded three Gold Medallion Book Awards for Fiction in the past four years.

A Thousand Shall Fall

After World War I, Birch Tucker, his wife Trudy, and their sons return to Shiloh, Arkansas to begin a new peacetime life, while Max Mayer becomes a financial columnist for the New York Times.

This book was much better than the first for the main reason that the Thoene's narrowed the scope of the narrative. Some of the "main" characters from the first book did not feature in this one. With a plot as complicated as the first book that diminution is more than necessary. Things still seem to work out fairly well for all the main characters (even if their original troubles seem a bit far fetched to begin with) which is an unfortunate characteristic of many Christian novels. 
This book is not high-brow fiction but it is a decent easy read.
