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.

Great writer, story, characters and transition. Listened on audible while walking. Made me want to walk every day. Terrific reader made you feel you were there.

Captivating

This series is so realistic. The story telling was awesome! Couldn't put it down an now anxiously awaiting the next one?

Absolutely Phenomenal!

I listened to this series with amazement and admiration of this author. Such a brilliant set of books. Incredible final book and I am sad that it’s over. Many thanks for a phenomenal ride. The narrator said s exceptional. A true pro who made listening a genuine joy.

SO far, this is my favorite fiction by Rosenberg

Would you consider the audio edition of Damascus Countdown to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version. It is better for me because I listen as I do cardio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Damascus Countdown?

The end. Loved the conclusion.

Have you listened to any of Christopher Lane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am not sure. He did a great job here.

Any additional comments?

The author is always teaching about the last day of this era of mankind from a biblical perspective. I believe that he is accurate, informative and entertaining.

Using fiction to share Prophecy

it's a great trilogy that uses a fictional story to share the Gospel and the exciting prophecies that are being fulfilled around us.

Rosenberg’s best series yet!

I listened to this series when it first came out and again recently on a cross country road trip. The storyline is gripping and the narrator immerses you into the story and makes you feel like you’re watching unfold before you.

Insightful, realistic, inspiring, sobering

Soooo good!! Joel C. Rosenburg is an excellent writer who has an insightful perspective on the situation in the Middle East. This trilogy is intense, realistic and eye-opening. And the beauty and power of Christ shines through in all in a real way. Well done, Joel!

Absolutely Thrilling!!

Joel C Rosenberg is by far one of the best spy thriller novelists I have ever read! His trilogy of the 12th Imam is incredibly well written! The descriptions are so vivid you are watching the story unfold in front of your eyes-- feeling everything the characters are feeling --getting so deep into the story it's like you're hovering above watching it unfold. As everyone knows the reader can make or break a story and this reader rivals the storyline of the book! He brings each character to life with its own voice and accent... and his performance far exceeds that of any reader I have never heard especially in a spy novel. I am absolutely looking forward to reading more books by Joel C Rosenberg!

Very riveting and informative

Would you listen to Damascus Countdown again? Why?

Yes I would listen to it again. You can always learn more the second time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

David was my favorite character, although I liked several. It is intriguing how he always survived every situation with God's help.

Which scene was your favorite?

Probably the destruction of Damascus.

If you could take any character from Damascus Countdown out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Probably the teacher (cannot remember how to spell his name).

Any additional comments?

I believe everyone should take this story seriously and try to bring as many people as possible with them to heaven before it is too late. I believe it is later than most people think.

An amazing novel!

Everything we love and look forward to from Joel C Rosenberg. The twists, turns, story line, and especially elaboration of the plot formation, and character development that Joel is so well known for! This is a series, start with the first book, in order to appreciate the full scope development. Highly recommended! Kate
