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?

focus on what matters

THIS is a wonderful suspenseful, action packed novel that over all focuses on the things that matter.
It is the last of the last jihad series.
I could not wait each day to have some time to listen. it will open your eyes to what is coming. Are you ready? I pray you will read and believe.

Surprised!

We looked forward to every car ride when we would get to listen to this tale with so many unexpected turns of event.

The end had an unexpected effect upon my perspective. I came away with a deep sense of both urgency and hope.

As always Rosenberg doesn't disappoint

I enjoy this author and his way to pull you into the characters and keep you wanting to listen. I will be looking for more from him today.

Powerful Ending

What did you love best about Dead Heat, Political Thrillers Series #5?

The story ends with an heroic climax. The possibility that prophecy might turn out this way is interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

The relationship between the hero and heroine.

What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?

The way it was done, drew me into the imagination of the story. It felt as if I was there.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It makes me weep for the USA and for the fate of the world when alienated from God.

Any additional comments?

Read the entire series!
