Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

I shouldn't tell you this, but Eric hired someone who sounds just like him to host today's show.

But since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you,

don't be fooled. The real Eric's in jail.

Hey there, folks. Most of you have heard of Brock and Bodie Taney. They are the authors of

innumerable works of historical fiction, the Zion Chronicles, the Zion Covenant,

and a lot of other great stuff.

And we are here in the studio with Bodie Taney.

Welcome to the studio.

Thank you for coming in.

I have wanted to meet you forever because you are...

I'm sorry that it's a disappointment i

apologize we did the best we could you're the bonhofer guy and we have uh you know of course

our books the zion covenant especially those nine books start with the fall of vienna and go

right the way through the capitals of Europe.

And so Bonhofer is actually a character, a part of our books.

And, yeah, even though it's fiction, you know, that's historical fiction.

And so your book, which came, you know, of course, much after ours. 2010, yeah.

Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, we have been writing since the 80s and 90s, that particular series.

Our idea, our original idea, was to never forget, was to let people see within a historical setting, a fictional setting,

the reality that people really did go through this stuff,

that this is how it happened, this is the progression politically.
