Publisher's summary

Israel successfully launches a first strike on Iran, taking out all of their nuclear sites and six of their nuclear warheads. American president William Jackson threatens to support a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the Jewish State for unprovoked and unwarranted acts of aggression. And the Twelfth Imam prepares to order a genocidal retaliation.

Meanwhile, CIA operative David Shirazi has infiltrated the Iranian regime and intercepted top secret intelligence indicating that two Iranian nuclear warheads survived the attack and have been moved to a secure and undisclosed location. In danger not only from the ongoing war between Israel and Iran but also from the increasingly hostile governments in multiple countries, Shirazi and his team are in a race against time to find the remaining nuclear warheads before the most cataclysmic event in the history of the Middle East comes to pass.

Entertaining series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The entire series was very entertaining considering all that's going on in this part of the World.

What other book might you compare Damascus Countdown to and why?

Maybe Daniel Silva spy novels, but just because they are Middle East based because Daniel Silva and his character Gabriel Allon really aren't similar. They have an entirely different premise, but it has the intrigue of that part of the World.

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

He did very well with the character's voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

If you want to be entertained I think this will be a good choice.

Typical Rosenberg. Spot on!

What did you love best about Damascus Countdown?

It it a relevant and all-to-likely story line. If you haven't read any of Rosenbergs works before, I suggest you read the Ezekiel option first, then read the Twelfth Imam series in whole. Joel is an end-times scholar who has a remarkable grasp of Biblical prophesy. It is amazing to see how many aspects of his previous novels have actually come to pass. I'm almost afraid to know what parts of this will actually happen in our lifetime. Then again, as a Christian, its not something to worry about. If you're offended by God and the Bible, these books are not for you unless you are interested in knowing what will happen in the End Times.

What did you like best about this story?

It explains so much of current events...

Have you listened to any of Christopher Lane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I am amazed at how well he makes each character unique

Who was the most memorable character of Damascus Countdown and why?

Dr. Morazzi

Fantastic!

This was a riveting listen! I devour everything that Mr. Rosenberg writes. The action and suspense is above par, and I love that I can hear the message of the Gospel while following a richly detailed and well-developed storyline. Five stars and two thumbs up!

A very interesting look at an apocalyptic future

It's a well thought out fictional account of possible future events. There were only a few oh c'mon moments. The love story is a sweet 20 something romance,and a a little touching too. The scriptural revelations were very interesting. The Christian conversions were a little churchy, but unless yoir offended by Christianity, it's a very good read.

Compelling and feels so real

Would you listen to Damascus Countdown again? Why?

I think I could...it has stuck in my mind and every time something happens in the news it brings me back to this series

Any additional comments?

This is a must read if you want to understand this world we live in and how with God's help we can all be saved and if we can be a small part of showing love to those who hate us, maybe God will smile down on us and free us of all this turmoil in the world
