Publisher Description

Tensions are rising in the Middle East. Iran’s president vows to annihilate the United States and Israel. Israel’s prime minister says someone must hit Iran’s nuclear sites “before it’s too late.” The American president warns against a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and says negotiations are the key to finding peace.

And amid it all, rumors are swirling throughout the region of a mysterious religious cleric claiming to be the Islamic messiah known as the Mahdi or the Twelfth Imam. Word of his miracles, healings, signs, and wonders is spreading like wildfire.

CIA operative David Shirazi was born for this moment. He is recruited and sent into Tehran with one objective: use all means necessary to disrupt Iran’s nuclear weapons program, without leaving American fingerprints and without triggering an apocalyptic new war. But time is running out.

“Ripped from the headlines—next year’s headlines.” —Washington Times

"EXCELLENT!!!!! VERY INTENSE!!!!! This was loaned to me for my NOOK and I will be purchasing this later on so that I can read it at a slower pace. I have read some of the end time books that are out there, but never one from the perspective of the Middle East. "

    " Not a bad thriller, but it ended just as things were getting interesting. Looking forward to Rosenberg's next book. "

    " Thriller set in modern dayUSA and Iran. An easy read/page turner. However, I didn't realize until I was about 7/8 of the way through that it is (I think the genre is called) Christian eschatology. I don't think I need to read any more like this. "

    " Great read -- ending left a bit to be desired, but perhaps Rosenberg left it open for a sequel? "

    " Read it here first, in the newspapers later. Rosenberg has an eerie way of packaging tomorrow's events in a storyline you can read today. "

    — Daniel, 5/1/2011
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Not full of the kind of action I had dreaded in a "thriller"--much more character development, very intriguing. Fascinating explication of the framework of fundamentals of Islam. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " I anticipated a geopolitical thriller, but (at the risk of offending some) this was more of a religious fantasy. "

    " Verrrry Good! Read it upon recommendation from my boss and really enjoyed it. A spy thriller set mainly in Iran with good human interest. Also, assuming it had some factual basis, some very interesting information about the Muslim religion. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Pretty substantive for a fiction book. Good foundation of Muslim eschatological beliefs wound around a pretty good storyline..... "
