Explosive, Contemporary, Haunting
It is November and the President of the United States arrives in Denver, Colorado via a motorcade. Simultaneously, a jet chartered by businessmen from Canada is ready to land at Denver International Airport, it fails to respond to directions from the control tower - instead it veers off course to attack the Presidential motorcade. During the chaos that ensues, several secret agents die to save the life of the President, who survives and is taken to a secret location while the Vice President is placed in control of the government. The President regroups with government officials to create counter-offensive strategies against this new global threat of terror. Jon Bennet, a Wall Street Securities analyst and a friend of the President's, had worked for the President during his former life as a CEO, is unexpectedly enlisted to negotiate an oil deal in Israel. Through some quirk of fate, first natural gas deposits were found in Israel, and after that ... oil. This business deal can lead to either world peace or world destruction depending on its success ... Jon Bennet and Erin McCoy, a business partner, are sent together, to Israel, to negotiate a deal for development of the oil reserves on behalf of a company. There are potential sparks of romance during this Israeli visit, as well as other explosive possibilities. Little does the world realize that at the same time, in Iraq, plans for the launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missle are underway ... Global events are escalating as "the four horsemen" who belong to a terrorist network have become fully operational, whom the CIA started tracking. World events are beginning to escalate in unexpected ways ... leading to a major potential catastrophe. But can it be prevented???
This novel is jam-packed with high energy, fast-paced action that leaves you breathless as you follow each and every word ... hanging on to the edge of your seat, trying to anticipate what happens next ... It is a book you do not want to put down. It is contemporary in characterizations and events. Anyone reading the book can identify with the theme, plot and potential outcomes. The author has a superior, refined writing style making it a very enjoyable reading experience. Erika Borsos (bakonyvilla)

Israel Here We Come
THE LAST JIHAD by Joel C. Rosenberg

This is a very exciting book with real characters, how they will live and what they will do in the future. The book takes place in the Middle East including Israel, which plays a large part in the book. Some of the characters that are very alive in the book no longer exist. I know that Rosenberg has an excellent imagine which is to vivid for books that are partly based on real people and real countries, but I hope that it will never come true, although Mr. Rosenberg's described war is in process at this time.

He writes a very good description of the beginning of the end of the World. He gets a little carried away when describing action. He gives the good guys a lot of things they do not have, or will ever have. The experience that Mr. Bennett, one of the characters in the book, was put through by the CIA is almost indiscernible. Not many people die and come back to life.

I hope they find to all the oil that he talks about. It would be nice if his economy comes true for the USA and Israel, but I don't believe it will. That comes when put actual names and events in a book of fiction and then let your imagine run riot.

He may be more of a prophet than he knows.

The Last Jihad
This novel had me on the edge of my seat biting my nails. I didn't want to put it down. Biblical prophecy and news headlines come together in a mind-blowing way. It makes you think!
