MY REVIEW:
As I have stated in past reviews, Susan May Warren is an extremely versatile author and Sons of Thunder just lends more weight to that statement. Sons of Thunder is likely the most serious novel I have encountered by Ms. Warren. Presented in the historical setting of the World War II era, it spans the globe from Greece to Chicago and Minneapolis to the battlefield in Europe and back to Greece. The point of views of each of the three characters, Sophie, Markos, and Dino are presented separately, yet their personal stories merge to present a complete picture.
Sons of Thunder is a heart wrenching tale of three people whose lives are bound together by love and blood. Faced with tragedy and trials on every side, each of them does what has to be done in order to survive. Their emotions ebb and flow from joy to sorrow, determination to resignation, fear to courage, love and hate, guilt and innocence, and doubt to faith. The depth of emotion makes Sons of Thunder difficult to read at times but continues to grip the reader’s attention. A true to life story of rescue and redemption, Sons of Thunder beautifully illustrates the faithfulness of God even in the darkest hours.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sophie Frangos is torn between the love of two men and the promise that binds them all together. Markos Stavros loves Sophie from afar while battling his thirst for vengeance and his hunger for honor. Dino, his quiet and intelligent brother, simply wants to forget the horror that drove them from their Greek island home to start a new life in America. One of these sons of thunder offers a future she longs for, the other the past she lost. From the sultry Chicago jazz clubs of the roaring twenties to the World War II battlefields of Europe to a final showdown in a Greek island village, they’ll discover betrayal, sacrifice and finally redemption. Most of all, when Sophie is forced to make her choice, she’ll learn that God honors the promises made by the Sons of Thunder.
