What a crazy romp through a possible end-times scenario. (apparently I have 2 more books to read to see how this Islamic chaos plays out). Oh, I will read them - I'm addicted now.This tale is kind of like the Left Behind Series. But focuses totally on Islam and it's 12th Prophet type Messiah BUTT...
A promising start to a new series. Rosenberg once again shows some great insight into politics, both religious and otherwise, and crafts an exciting book around it. His knowledge of various religions is obvious, and it is intriguing to see certain scenarios play out. The characters are very inte...
Wow! hard to read/rate/review this book. I had no idea who Joel Rosenberg was before I read the book. Typical thriller until about 1/2 way through the book & then it became a Christian evangelical treatise. It was actually a cut above in writing & character development. But what a disappoi...
The accounts of what it was like in Auschwitz was unnerving and I'm sure extremely watered down from what really happened. As it was I was able to gain a small understanding of what happened, and it terrified me because of what happened.The characters are relate-able. The story is well written. Y...
Keeping in mind that there are some who have tried to say to the world that the Third Reich didn't persecute and commit mass murder of millions of Jews, either in the wider world of Europe or in the death camps such as Auschwitz in the late 1930s and 1940s, I would recommend Joel C. Rosenberg's h...
Are Muslims bent on taking over the planet? This book certainly shows how this might play out. So what do we see on the news everyday... hmmm?This is book two in Rosenberg's series about an Endtimes like false Messiah coming to unite all of the Islamic followers on the planet. Is this fiction? No...
After a long hiatus from Rosenberg's shirazi series, I cam back to Tehran initiative and the Twelve Imam and end them back to back. What I like about it. That it's 'real' or at least seems like it in today's context. It's a reality I can follow from what we've heard and read in the news. Some of ...
Damascus Countdown by Joel C. Rosenberg is an excellent thriller. When I received this book I didn't realize it was #3 in a series, so it took a few chapters to figure out all the characters, but it did work as a stand alone novel as well. I was able to figure out the plot and characters fairly q...
Joel Rosenberg captures the true Essence of the Middle East conflict in Damascus Countdown. All sides of the conflict are depicted as The twelfth Imam orders the annialation of Israel. David Shirazi, undercover with the CIA is given the task of finding two nuclear warheads after Israel destroys ...
I learned much from this book, from history to statistics. I gained a deeper appreciation for the dangers of being a Christian in a Muslim country, and reflected on the way the Lord can change a person from any background, be it American or Jewish or Muslim (each and every one is a deep sinner, ...
A cross between Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum (the Bourne series) The Last Jihad is a speculative political thriller and as such not the kind of book I usually read, but I found myself really enjoying it! Written in 2002, The Last Jihad envisioned a world where Saddam Hussein had not only acquired...
