Description

Book 1 in the bestselling 3-book international political thriller series that has sold over 475,000 copies!

“Rosenberg has ripped a page from current headlines with a heart-stopping plot about the Islamic State.”
Publishers Weekly

“His novels are un-put-downable.”
—Steve Forbes, editor in chief, Forbes magazine

When New York Times foreign correspondent J. B. Collins hears rumors that an al-Qaeda splinter cell—ISIS—has captured a cache of chemical weapons inside Syria, he knows this is a story he must pursue at all costs.

Does the commander of the jihadist faction really have weapons of mass destruction? If so, who is the intended target? The U.S.? Israel? Or someone else?

With tensions already high, the impending visit of the American president to the region could prove to be the spark that sets off an explosion of horrendous proportions. Knowing that terrorist forces are already trying to bring down two Arab governments in the region—Iraq and Syria—can Collins uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will the terrorists succeed in setting their sights on the third target and achieving genocide?

    Fast paced and tense. What makes it so exceptionally interesting is its relevance to current world events.

    Very poorly written, as if by a high school student! Stupid premise and reads like a cartoon.

    On a road trip from Indiana to Minneapolis I read this out loud to my husband to keep him awake. The story delivered and proved so believable that he asked, " It turns out OK , right? Otherwise he wouldn't be alive to tell the story." This was informative and so well told. When is the next book out?!
  • Another Thriller!!

    Rosenberg has the knack of keeping you inthralled in every book. Although this one is a little slow in the beginning it grabs your attention soon after. His ability to write about current world events makes this book almost too real. Let's hope that the ending to this book doesn't become reality.

    Taken from today's headlines, this is a compelling story of what the world may be facing in the near future. Writing is top notch with well developed characters and story line. Couldn't put it down

    Joel, I have read most of your other books.Without a doubt, this one is my favorite. The ending definitely implies a sequel, or perhaps made into a movie. I can't wait........thank you SHALOM, Ron Katzman
