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?

Another cliff hanger...you can't put it down

Sounds like a forecast of things to come in the near future.
God's promises will be fulfilled just as He foretold !

Amazing story!

My daughter and I love the storyline and the characters that are brought to life! Rosenberg has to be one of our favorite authors. Can't wait to start the third in this series!

Exciting and Scary at the same time

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

Amazing story. It captures your interest right away an keeps it to the end. Like reading the news paper story is so cutting age. The whole series is amazing cannot recommend it highly enough. We listen to books non-stop while traveling for work and this one I hated to see it end.

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

Yes I could hardly wait for the next car trip to finish the book and get onto the next one. We had many dinner conversations about the story, characters and what is going on now.

Ending up in the air.

Any additional comments?

Whenever you listen to book with foreign names involved, it is hard to keep track of everybody involved. It is much easier to read the book than listen. Although parts of the book were suspenseful and exciting, the ending was done in a way that was set up for a sequel. The narrator was talented though.

Proselytizing pile

This book is one proselytizing pile of dung. Should have researched the author before wasting a credit on it.

Disappointed. I hope other titles are better.

Would you try another book from Joel C. Rosenberg and/or Christopher Lane?

Yes, if the price is right. I won't pay full price, will only purchase if title is less then $10.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Linking the current day events in Iran to his story and characters.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, if you've run out of titles from Flynn, Thor, Clancy and other top tier writers, then give Rosenberg a listen, but only if the price is right.

Any additional comments?

Same as above..... if you've run out of titles from Flynn, Thor, Clancy or Stephen Coonts and other top tier writers, then give Rosenberg a listen, but only if the price is right.
