About this ebook

Book 2 in the bestselling 3-book espionage and spy thriller series that has sold 700,000 copies!

New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg returns with a pulse-pounding tale of international intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering . . . what if this worst-case scenario comes true?

Is it fiction, or is it real?

The world is on the brink of disaster. Iran has just conducted its first atomic weapons test. Millions of Muslims around the world are convinced their messiah—known as the Twelfth Imam—has just arrived on earth. Israeli leaders fear Tehran, under the Twelfth Imam’s spell, will soon launch a nuclear attack that could bring about a second Holocaust and the annihilation of Israel.

The White House fears Jerusalem will strike first, launching a massive preemptive attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities that could cause the entire Middle East to go up in flames, oil prices to skyrocket, and the global economy to collapse.

With the stakes high and few viable options left, the president of the United States orders CIA operative David Shirazi and his team to track down and sabotage Iran’s nuclear warheads before Iran or Israel can launch a devastating first strike. But will they be too late?

Ratings and reviews

This Book is great and so far pretty accurate with events and presidents in play. Though this is a fiction based book we see the same weak minded president in office today in the USA. Ignoring the facts Our president has chosen to stick his head in the sand concerning Iran today. Sadly too is the all too ready actions of Obama as he ignores the Israeli Primeministers efforts in haw ving talks with the USA . Many people may not know it but this is pretty much the events That will bring in what Christions call the 1. Rapture of the Church 2. Middle Eastern uprising that will follow all of which will conclude in Matt. 24- 25; 1st Th 4:11-5:end; 2thess 1.Cor 15:ALL Rev. 1-22: and much more

Those of you who make negative comments about Rosenbergs books must not know very much about Biblical prophecy & end times events. To the person who said that Mr. Rosenberg has no facts that are valid. You sir need to read the Bible's prophetic books. You must not understand what the Bible says about the coming war of Armegeddon. These books are FICTION. They are not meant to be factual. The individual that said that these books are too religious. Christianity is not a religion! It is a life style change.

While I was somewhat disappointed with some of the plot devices of The Twelfth Imam, I was not at all disappointed with this sequel. The book began with enough quote out of the first volume to bring this reader sufficiently up to speed with the action in progress. The action was well paced and plenty intense. There was a great cliffhanger, and no clear sense of how the third volume will wrap up the trilogy. I look forward to its release next Fall.
