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.

Good book, Comical narration

I've enjoyed the 12th Iman trilogy. This is the first audible version I've purchased in the series. Christopher Lane's narration is solid until he attempts to do the different accents. I'm never quite sure where is world I'll end up once a new character enters...Africa, Australia, Little Italy in the Bronx, however never Iran or Israel. I suppose I appreciate the attempt, but it's distracting, sometimes comical, often annoying. I suggest if narrators don't have a good handle on accents, just skip it. The rest of his narration was good. Overall a great series.

Excellent story.

The first two books were very slow to develop. Character setup seemed long to the point of becoming somewhat tedious. When the story fully developed in book three, it became an excellent action novel. The one consistently negative element was the really subpar dialect depiction of the voices. Really, really awkward.

Great read

Narration was excellent. Great read. Hard to put down. looking forward to another Rosenberg book.

Superior!

Excellent as always! Loved it. Rosenberg just gets better and better all the time. Just when you think his work can’t excel any more. It gets more and more winderf!

a great read!!

loved it! very exciting! at the beginning it was difficult to follow all of the names, but that's how it is with any book.

Really enjoyed this trilogy

Really enjoyed every part of this three part series. Beautiful love story. That of the love that Jesus has for each of us and the Love story of David and Marcelle was one of the best ever. You really want for them to be in love from book 1 to the very end. Also on the edge of your seat story of possible world events. Would love to see more in this story line

Excellent!

I recommend this book to all who enjoy "true to life" stories. Joel C Rosenberg captivates your attention from the start.

Too much Jesus

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

A good story wrapped around a religious message that was designed to convert non-Christians to Christians. Why did the author have to dilute the story?

Entertaining and thought provoking

The book is well written and captivating. The plot moves along in an organized and believable fashion. I recommend this action packed story for your enjoyment.

A Commuters Best Friend - Listen to the series

What did you like best about this story?

Rosenberg wove history, scripture and fictional characters together in such a way that you could actually believe it was from current events.

What does Christopher Lane bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Christopher Lane does great accents which made this story come alive. If you grew up outside the US you'll know what I mean.
