Publisher's summary

Oil prices are surging to record highs. A new dictator is rising in Iraq. China is threatening Taiwan. North Korean forces are ready to strike south. Israel is feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple....

And in the midst of a world ready to explode, American president James MacPherson's second term is ending. The battle to succeed him is heating up into the most fiercely contested presidential election in American history. Who will lead a bitterly divided country over the next four years? And just what role - if any - does the U.S. play in history's last days?

As the presidential campaign narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic terrorist plot to assassinate one of the candidates - but which one? Who do they want dead? And can U.S. forces stop the terrorists before millions lose their lives?

Critic reviews

"His novels seem to be ripped from the headlines - next year's headlines." ( Washington Times)
"Gigante blazes through it with clarity and aplomb." ( AudioFile)

Great series

the final book in the Last Jihad series. great work by the author but you know its coming the way it ends, read the other 4 first!

Imaginative Twist to the 2nd Coming of Jesus

The author is very creative spinning a believable scenario of the politics and economics that could lead to the end times. I enjoyed the tale, although it was wordy. I wonder if an abridged version would have been sufficient....Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

So intense ..you can hardly keep listening!

The Bible talks about how terrible the tribulation will be, but listening
To this book. Makes the harries more real.
I realize this is just a fictional story, but the real thing could be even worse.
Thinking of all the evil in the world today, we should thank God for His
Great love and mercy toward America and pray that many people will
be saved before the Rapture!

Good read

Exciting read i enjoyed listening i cant wait to get more titles from joel rosenberg

Wonderfully written!

As a Christian, this book is amazing. But even if you are not a Christian the Tom Clancy like storyline will be very intriguing!

Amazing

Wonderful story. The best in the series. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good Christian read.

Down right scary!

This is the followup to the Copper Scroll, and picks up just months after the previous story ends. The plot goes beyond exciting to scary, scarier than anything else I've read in a while because it is so near to reality. Don't want to ruin it for you, but if you read the others you have to get this one. I'm interested to see if Rosenberg continues the story to it's conclusion and how he treats the biblical topics.

Need More Joel C. Rosenburg

Great book and great narration. The only problem is that this is the last book in a series of books (The Last Jihad). It's worth it even if haven't read the previous books.

Better than Tom Clancy

I have truly enjoyed this work by Joel Rosenberg on several levels. First, he is a great story teller that maintains suspense and several threads going in parallel leading a a 'big event'. Second, I think his interpretation of Ezekiel has been an eye opener for me, and I find it has value. In this last book, Joel got a wee bit heavy on the preachy side, but it was consistent with the growth of the characters, and I enjoyed it.

Exceptional

Biblically accurate as to scripture. This series is a must read by All of Our Lords Children. God Bless You.
