Synopsis

For fans of scrupulously researched historical fiction, Tricia Goyer releases Dawn of a Thousand Nights. Following on the heels of Goyer's From Dust and Ashes and Night Song, readers journey with Dan Fletcher and Libby Conner, both U.S. pilots fighting in WWII's Pacific Theater. Fletcher is captured by the Japanese and is forced to endure the horror of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. It is here that he encounters Natsu Hidiki, a guard whose nagging conscience won't let him ignore the human degradation in which he is participating. Libby Conner is a WASP (Women's Air Force Service Pilot), who ferries military planes between Hawaii and the South Pacific. By the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, she has turned the head of Fletcher in no small way. Readers will be captivated by this tale of dignity and honor triumphing in the midst of a very dark time in history.

Review

Compelling, breathtaking, and sometimes brutal, Dawn of a Thousand Nights pulled me into its WWII setting and kept me reading late into the night again and again.  Ms. Goyer is a masterful storyteller who knows how to bring history to life.
-Robin Lee Hatcher, best-selling author of The Victory Club and Loving Libby

A great story!  A great writer!  Historically accurate. I know.  I was there.
-C.M. Graham, WWII veteran, Bataan survivor, and author of Under The Samurai Sword

Heartbreaking and triumphant, Dawn of a Thousand Nights makes real the struggles and sacrifices of those men and women at home and abroad who fought to give us the freedoms we often take for granted today.
-DeAnna Julie Dobson, author of In Honor Bound, By Love Redeemed, and To Grace Surrendered

It is rare to see a novel pay such attention to historical detail.
-Tony Banham, WWII Historian and WWII Book Author

Tricia Goyer's Dawn of a Thousand Nights is a deeply emotional read, rich with historical detail and true to the heart of God.
-Lyn Cote, Author of The Women of Ivy Manor

Tricia Goyer has written one of the best-researched and most accurate accounts of World War II I have ever read.  She has woven her characters into the events in Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and Japan so realistically that it is hard to remember that this is actually a book of fiction.
-Millie Dalrymple, Former WASP (Women Air Force Service Pilot)

Having lived through WWII and actively participated in the military for the Air Force, I found Dawn of a Thousand Nights not only an easy read but an accurate portrayal.  It brought to mind the suffering of those who had been captured and the realization of how man can be so cruel to man.  Tricia Goyer is a very talented storyteller.
-Bernice Haydu, Woman Airforce Service Pilot of WWII, author of Letters Home 1944-1945

Dawn of a Thousand Nights gives the reader an amazing peek into history and into the human heart.  This story is gripping and inspiring, written with grace and intelligence.  The reader is in for a soaring flight of the mind, heart, and soul.
-Kathryn Mackel, author of Outriders

Tricia Goyer's masterful storytelling techniques will grip the reader with magnificence of human emotions set in the midst of a tragic part of US history.  Share in the victory and defeat, good and evil, and humility and pride as heroes are made within the pages of this unforgettable drama.
-DiAnn Mills, Christian Fiction Author

Tricia Goyer is a seamstress of fiction.  She dares to weave designs full of suspense, history, humor, romance, and spiritual truth.  In the same manner that Bodie Thoene's early novels brought new understanding, Tricia Goyer's stories never sugarcoat the horror, but always highlight God's workings in the midst of suffering.
-Eric Wilson, author of Expiration Date and Dark to Mortal Eyes
