The book that started it all, The Last Jihad is the first of Joel C. Rosenberg's New York Times best-selling series, with 500,000 in print. The first page puts readers in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze mission into an American city--but it was written nine months before 9/11/01. As the plot unfolds, White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are under attack in Jerusalem as the U.S. goes to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction--but The Last Jihad was published four months before the actual Iraq war began.

Great!!!!

Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!

Thrilling, scary!

This book was thrilling, scary, and almost phrophetic when it was written. I could hardly put it down, then read the rest of the series a quickly as I could! READ THESE!

Very realistic book - exciting!

This is a great book! Quite a bit like a vintage Tom Clancy or maybe Clive Cussler but more believable. I really liked it and am planning to read the rest of the series.

Good political thriller

Joel Rosenberg kept me up late turning pages to see how it ended. Then I had to order the second in the series to find out how the story continued. I plan on getting all of his books to continue the story.

Good first novel

Rosenberg's first novel is a pretty good thriller. His action scenes are fast paced and thrilling, even though he crowds in a lot of technical details about weapons. I read these scenes rapidly, eager to find out who would live and who would not.

He also includes a geopolitical story line, which tends to slow the book down. When the hero sits in a on a presidential cabinet meeting my attention began to wander. This part of the story was less interesting. It was also less believable.

The novel sustained my interest through to the end. The action slowed at times, but never stopped. The characters were believable enough. They were described in about as much depth as one would expect from an action novel. This first novel does not rise to the level of Tom Clancy, but it is a good start. I think Rosenberg compares favorably with authors like Vince Flynn.
