I cannot remember who recommended this to me, but I'm fairly certain I was told to read it because it's not the kind of book I normally check out. I knew right away that it might not be my kind of book after seeing the rave reviews by both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on the back cover. Hmmmm. In spite of their warning, I forged ahead.The Last Jihad takes place in 2011 - ten years after the the World Trade Center attacks and enough time later for the current president to have persuaded theAuthors Note Inexplicably, New York Times author, Joel C. Rosenberg predicted 9/11. In fact, he wrote about being deep in the writing process of the rough draft on the morning of that fateful day. Needless to say, he was taken aback. He was mortified and did not know what to do, or-Id imagineif he should even proceed. After much introspection and prayer, Rosenberg consulted his editor, whom urged him to get back to work and assured him that with minimal alterations, his novel would pan out.
I have a bone to pick with 2,721 Goodreads.com readers, who gave this book an average rating of 4.01. How can that possibly be? The writing was terrible, the plot was the same as hundreds of other hackneyed plots and the characters were so stereotypically flat that it was laughable. It's essentially the story of what would have happened if Saddam Hussein had actually developed and deployed a nuclear weapon. Of course the book was first published in 2002, so I'll forgive the author for being
Synopsis: Several years after the 9/11 attacks, President-Elect MacPherson is celebrating his recent victory...when the unthinkable happens: a suicidal terrorist drives a plane into the motorcade. With the entire nation in an uproar, Erin McCoy and Jon Bennett, two personal friends of the Chief Executive, are employed to ensure the security of the leader of our country. Between threats from Saddam Hussein, double agents within the United States government, and the nationwide panic that ensues,
An earlier title before "Dead Heat" by the same author; written right after 9-11, but before we invaded Iraq. I won't go into details other than to say it's a well-written book; he writes in a simliar vein as Clancy (which kept my attention) with many little twists and character changes. As his other book, this one pretty well reflects what is going on in the middle east, with plausible scenarios. And given the current world situation, this guy's crystal ball is a lot more clarified than most of
A cross between Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum (the Bourne series) The Last Jihad is a speculative political thriller and as such not the kind of book I usually read, but I found myself really enjoying it! Written in 2002, The Last Jihad envisioned a world where Saddam Hussein had not only acquired the wherewithal to produce fully functional ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) but was launching one against the United States. A fascinating and terrifying scenario then, it is no less
