Dead Heat

I couldn't put this book down! Joel C. Rosenberg has done such extensive research, and most importantly, connects Scripture to the facts and the "what ifs". I now "see" and understand much more about the future based on Scripture than I did before reading Dead Heat even though I've been reading the Bible daily. If you are already a Christian, you can "connect the dots", and if you aren't, this is great "food" for thought.

A Prophesy for America???

Dead Heat will have you sit up straight and pay attention. The attack on the US is an effective one, done with a devastating, primarily low tech approach. Without the right leadership in office, this country will surely collapse if this scenario or something close to it is ever played out. Rest assured our enemies and those who hate us, and there are many, are reading this book with a possible script/plan or approach to our demise. But then this book plays out an apocolytic drama where good loses for the moment and of course the rapture occurs and many of us will not make the first cut. Tribulation, if true, will be very discomforting and perhaps painful and we as a country will play a very low profile role.

I highly recommend this book and if you started out reading Rosenberg's series of plausable and timely occurrences of World events, this book will leave wishing for hope and redemption.

Excellent production - thought-provoking ideas

I have not read or listened to the previous books in this series, simply because of a lack of reading time, though I am well aware of them and their general focus. I decided that I would listen to Dead Heat which is most applicable to world events right now (June 2008).

First, the reader and production are excellent. While a book is nice to hold and read, this reader, who uses a plethera of different voices and accents based on the characters from around the world, totally brings this story to vivid life without confusing the reader. Great job!

Second, as a Christian, I found Dead Heat to be very realistic...not a prophecy in and of itself, but there is no doubt that much in this book could happen very much as described, or similarly. I already feel a great sense of urgency with regard to the upcoming rapture. I know where I'm going, and I have no fear for myself, but I do worry for those who are not saved - those who are indifferent, or like at least one other reviewer of this title, scoff at the truth. So, whether you find this story sensational or realistic, if you are a Christian, truly consider what we know is to come and be a bold witness for the Gospel. If you aren't a Christian, try to listen to or read this book with an open heart and be willing to give unbiased consideration to the Bible as truth. After all, it is your eternal soul that is at stake.

Thanks to Joel Rosenberg for combining his unique skills, talents, and experience into some great books.

Scarey

Joel Rosenberg has done it again with a very engaging thriller that I truly hope never comes true (as some of his other realistic fiction). Great read.

MAGNIFICENT

Great ending to the series. Very hard to put down. Fast paced and readable. Chilling and realistic. Tough, and at times, almost heartbreaking, to see so many "good guys/gals" we have come to know and pull for get taken out, as well as the attack on the four United States cities killing millions, and the almost impossible task of rebuilding a chain of command. Good job, Mr. Rosenberg. I hope you continue the story line with a post rapture sequel.

For Jon and Erin Bennett, the world seems to be spinning dangerously out of control. A new dictator is rising in Iraq. China is making threatening new moves toward Taiwan. North Korean forces appear ready to strike south. Israel is feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple. Oil prices are surging. And in the wake of an horrific war in the Middle East, President James MacPherson's second term is coming to an end. Now the battle to succeed him is heating up into one of the most fiercely contested presidential elections in American history, and the Bennetts realize the stakes could not be higher. Who will lead a bitterly divided country over the next four years? What can the U.S. do to shape the new world order? And just what role--if any--does the U.S. play in the last days? As the presidential campaign narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic plot to assassinate one of the candidates--but which one, and can the terrorists be stopped in time?
