Publisher's summary

The world is on the brink of disaster. Iran has just conducted its first atomic weapons test. Millions of Muslims around the world are convinced their messiah — known as the Twelfth Imam — has arrived on earth. Israeli leaders fear Tehran, under the Twelfth Imam’s spell, will soon launch a nuclear attack that could bring about a second Holocaust and the annihilation of Israel. The White House fears Jerusalem will strike first, launching a massive preemptive attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities that could cause the entire Middle East to go up in flames, oil prices to skyrocket, and the global economy to collapse. With the stakes high and few viable options left, the president of the United States orders CIA operative David Shirazi and his team to track down and sabotage Iran’s nuclear warheads before Iran or Israel can launch a devastating first strike. But will they be too late?

Love all his books!

Great apocalyptic political and biblical novel with good narration. His research both politically, and biblically really shows that these books could become real scenarios

just when I thought I was off the edge of my seat.

this Continuing Story is fascinating. I look forward to getting the next volume and seeing where the author takes us and leaves us again.

Great series!

I am a hard spy thriller buff (David Baldacci, Tom Clancy, etc.) and was desperate to find a new series. This def a keeper!! The narrator is MASTERFUL and really brings the book alive. He turned a 6 out of 10 book to a 9 of 10 all by himself. Great all around production and highly recommended!!!

Worth a credit - educational, suspense and compell

If you could sum up The Tehran Initiative in three words, what would they be?

Joel Rosenberg skillfully weaves the feelings, complexities and insights of Christianity and Muslims into an exciting, cutting-edge political thriller. The characters are believable and the story has a interesting underlying love story. I recommend this book if you want to learn a bit more about the Middle East and what "could" be going on.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, it was energizing.

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

Well narrated, he added depth to the story.

It's great fiction with a "hidden" message.

This is an interesting way to push Christianity. Jesus is good, Muslim beliefs are evil, Jews are just Jews. The story flows fast and is hard to put down, but the real intent is to proselytize Jesus. It's all too compartmentalized for my taste. If you read it with the understanding that the author is a great fiction writer, it starts to just be fun.
