Thunderbird
The award-winning ‘Firewing’ trilogy comes to a conclusion in an engaging story about a young man searching for the truth.
As the great war rages in Europe, Janne Kuura, a reporter for The New York Times, realises that a tectonic shift is underway. In 1917, he crosses the Atlantic, and his work as a war correspondent takes him across a turbulent Europe, all the way to the Eastern Front, where the waves of the Russian Revolution crash fiercely. The flame of revolution begins to ignite in Janne’s heart as well. In the end, he must choose between passionate idealism and love.
The ‘Firewing’ trilogy, which tells the story of the Finnish-born immigrant family in the US, has been both a commercial and critical success.

Reviews
Etelä-Suomen Sanomat
“A stunning and chilling conclusion to the trilogy about Finnish immigrants. Thunderbird captivates with nearly the same force as Firewing, which can be called with such a profound term as a masterpiece.”
Turun Sanomat
“The Firewing trilogy continues compellingly. (...) Although the continent and countries change in the trilogy's books, Koskinen's plot-driven storytelling retains the ethos familiar from the works depicting the saga of the Kuura family: adventure, plot twists, and ideological reflection as an entertaining whole.” – Turun Sanomat
Savon Sanomat
“Thunderbird beautifully completes JP Koskinen's trilogy. (...) The characters and settings in Thunderbird become profoundly tangible and relatable.”
Kansan Uutiset
“Thunderbird flies high. It is a grand novel that completely engrosses the reader.”
