Honor Triumphs in the Darkness of WWII—A Scrupulously Researched Pacific Theater Novel

For fans of scrupulously researched historical fiction, Tricia Goyer releases Dawn of a Thousand Nights: A Story of Honor. 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 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. Meanwhile, Libby Conner, a WASP (Women’s Air Force Service Pilot), ferries military planes between Hawaii and the South Pacific—and by the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, she has turned Fletcher’s head 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.
