Publisher's summary

An action-packed thriller, The Sword of David tells the story of an Israeli commando traveling across the globe, following clues in search of a major biblical treasure that could change the destiny of the world.

Chaim Klein - a fearless Israeli Special Forces officer - has his hands full. After Klein unexpectedly finds the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, he must then search the globe for the Ten Commandments tablets. Klein must also confront and stop a consortium of Islamic states and terrorist organizations who are planning a simultaneous attack that would obliterate dozens of Western cities and Israel. Along the way, he comes across the mystical and awe-inspiring Sword of David. In this nonstop action-packed thriller, which draws on supernatural elements, Klein and his crew visit Ethiopia, London, Paris, Lebanon, and Rome. We also see the terrorists plotting in the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Istanbul. The final climactic confrontation between Klein and the terrorists is unexpected and inspirational.

In The Sword of David, you will meet colorful characters - including Rafsani, the terrorist who trained under the infamous Carlos the Jackal; the Israeli spy Galit, who works undercover in Paris under the alias Sister Chloe; Baroness Collins, who has an important position in the UK government as well as being the head of a secret organization long thought to be defunct; a renegade CIA operative; a Palestinian once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; and the Palestinian’s terrorist grandson.

Based on the author’s painstaking research of biblical artifacts, religion, history, and terrorism, The Sword of David feels authentic and current.

Very Interesting and Thrilling

I enjoyed listening to this book. I like this type of book realizing books like this often open up realities that at the time of writing is thought impossible. I was hope it was a Christian writer, because so many books have foul language in them. This book, though no Christian is religious so it only includes maybe 100 curse words in it. I do not think there were any blasphemous words for the 3 major religions included in this book, Christianity, Jewish, and Muslim. This book is propaganda for world peace a noble and respectful goal. The only issue is that the 3 religions stated have different prophecies on that. Christians - Jesus' return and millennial reign, the Muslims which include Jesus and 13th Iman, and the Jewish Messiah or Shiloh. Very well researched book. I do feel that maybe this would the type story that would bring rise to the one world peace so many would want, at any price.

interesting

a fascinating book with ancient history as a theme in present day dilemmas and a satisfying conclusion
well worth the read

A Time for Every Purpose Under Heaven

Chuck Lichtman is a lawyer I have known for quite a few years. He is highly regarded in the legal community. As it turns out however he is a brilliant story teller.

This is an ecumenical story about the religious, cultural and historical issues among the world’s three major monotheistic religions and the Holy Land. From the accidental discovery of the Ark of the Covenant to the threats posed by religious extremism, we are enthralled in a narrative that must surely end in tragedy or triumph. The plot twists and turns as we meet monks, popes, imams, politicians, terrorists, archeologists and Templars and the miraculous quest to give peace a chance.

The Sword of David is fast paced and imaginative. It restores the thrill to thriller. Don’t miss it.

In outstanding masterpiece

Impressive work full of wonder hope and optimism A novel to be read by people of the world in the world generations

Third class narration

I had to stop listening in the middle of the book because the narration is like horrible acting. It is a shame because the story is good.
