 Joel Rosenberg Series Sep 12, 2009
I ordered this book for my daughter to complete the set of the wholes Epicenter Series by Joel Rosenberg. I HIGHLY recommend the series and the DVD. You will not regret getting it and the time to read the books. I could hardly wait for the next book. So order them all at once so you won't have to wait. This is happening now, my friends!
God bless,

spiritual fiction Jul 15, 2009
Excellent book. It is one of a four book series. Unfortunately, the publisher did not number them, so when I started reading the series I read them out of order. It discusses the end times and the upcoming war in the middleast, that will bring about World War 3. It may be fiction, but it is very close to reality and what could happen in the near future. I definitely would recommend all of Joel Rosenberg's books.

 Tom Clancy you're not Jul 05, 2009
This very disappointing book starts out great with a kamikaze attack on the president's motorcade, followed by an intense interrogation scene with a twist. From then on it goes pretty much nowhere, and nothing particularly exciting happens for the duration, before ending cynically with a set-up for a sequel.
Rosenberg's cardinal sin amongst the many on display is to give us a hero who is utterly unremarkable and who does hardly anything interesting throughout the book. For long passages, he is not even present, and events are happening outside his control and he does not get to be particularly influential. You could take him out of the book without any real impact on the story.
The rest of the characters are cardboard, and Rosenberg's writing soon becomes tedious as he pushes them around, much of the book involving "will they nuke Iraq? won't they?" He doesn't back up the political and military aspects with any particularly in-depth knowledge, as you might expect from Tom Clancy. All in all, besides the bright start, a dud.
A scary view of the future Jun 23, 2009
Another great book by Joel Rosenberg. I would recommend that this book be read before reading the others in this series.
I read Dead Heat as my first entry into Joel's wrting and wish I had started with Last Jihad.
Knowing when this book was first writtin (prior to 9/11) makes the book even more scary. Joel has an uncanny ability to take facts of the world situation and put together a very possible and very worrisome perspective on the future of our world.
If You're an American, Read This Book! Jun 01, 2009
The Last Jihad is a must-read for every true red-blooded American. It's the start of the best-written series. Joel C. Rosenberg is the greatest author ever. This book starts with action and excitement and ends with one of the most tragic and hair-raising gunfights in Israeli history. I don't know how Rosenberg wrote this so well. When you begin to read it, there is no putting it away. Every page holds new adventures and challenges that put you right in the center of what is going on today.
Rosenberg could not have made a better character than Jon Bennett. He is such a classic American with high values, good instincts and a large bank account. You are put in his shoes and are faced with the decisions he has to make as a Senior Advisor to the President.
Every word of this fabulous book draws you into the political world and shows you the "inside scoop." It's such a great book, you have to read it. I certainly say that Rosenberg deserves three cheers for The Last Jihad.
