dead heat

Dead Heat by Joel Rosenberg is the fifth and final volume in the fictional The Last Jihad series. Joel has an uncanny way of writing his novels in a very prophetic manner. This is no exception.

Dead Heat is one of the fastest paced stories I have experienced. It is spell bounding, intriguing, insightful, Biblical based (Ezekiel 39-39) and, already, prophetic. It was not only Biblical prophetic but current event prophetic.

I was amazed at, not only, how fast the story moved but, also, how fast the pages were turned. I was done with the book when I felt like I had just started. It is one of those books you feel like you can't put down. You can't wait to see the next turn of events and those events are surprising, shocking, suspenseful, eerie and disturbing.

What is it about? Well, it about the aftermath of a nuclear attack against the United States with the prime targets being Washington D.C. and San Francisco. San Francisco being the location of the Republican National Convention. Other critical cities are hit, but one of the twists is how the nukes were delivered to each city... It probably won't be what you expect unless you have read Mr. Rosenberg's non-fiction book, Epicenter.

Although you don't necessarily need to read the four (4) previous books in the Last Jihad series to understand what is happening in Dead Heat I have no doubt you would enjoy each. Those books in order are: The Last Jihad, The Last Days, The Ezekiel Option and The Copper Scroll.

 

Epicenter: why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future was Mr. Rosenberg's first book. It was originally completed immediately prior to 9/11. He decided to not publish it because some of the things written were too similar to the 9/11 happening. After a period of time he and his publisher decided to go ahead with publication.

Of course, all of this is explained in the book. There is no way I could write a review to entice readers to invest time and money in this book so I have copied the description from Mr. Rosenberg's web site.

Author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes…

You won't be wasting time or money to invest in all six (6) of these books!
