About this ebook

Book 5 in the bestselling 5-book thriller series that has sold over 1.2 million copies

“His novels seem to be ripped from the headlines—next year’s headlines.”
Washington Times

“For many adults Joel Rosenberg is the it author right now. Inside and outside the Beltway in Washington, people are snatching up copies of his almost lifelike terrorist suspense novels.”
CNN Headline News

The stage is set for war:
  • 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 US play in history’s last days?

As the presidential campaign narrows to a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic terrorist plot to assassinate one of the candidates—but which one? Whom do they want dead? And can US forces stop the terrorists before millions lose their lives?

From New York Times bestselling novelist Joel C. Rosenberg comes an explosive new political thriller released amid the drama of the 2008 presidential campaign . . . and God forbid it should ever come true.

A real page turner. This is the second time I have read the book. The first time, I thought Bennett had been rescued only to be incinerated by a nuclear explosion. This time, I saw how I thought that, but I also saw how Rosenberg intended Bennett to be part of the Rapture. I am sure I will want to read it again sometime in the future, unless Jesus comes first. Maranatha!

This book continues the well-crafted tale begun with "The Last Jihad." It culminates by inspiring the reader to not wait for tomorrow to get right, as we can see world events rapidly approaching the times speculated within the series. Read them all, and fall on your knees!

I love to read political thrillers. This one? Not so much...The conceptual framework of the book is not geopolitics as much as it is another tired revisiting of the fundamentalist/pentacostal "end of times" construct. Liberals will, however, like the fact that a nuclear bomb hits the Republican National Convention. But unfortunately neither Sarah Palin nor Michele Bachman were scheduled to speak at the time....
