The Present: Enter former Palestinian-American detective Ben Kamal and his Israeli counterpart, Danielle Barnea. Working for the United Nations, Ben and Danielle are forced to return to the Middle East to investigate a massacre in a Palestinian village. The quickly learn that the roots of that massacre lie elsewhere, in another era, on another continent.
While Ben follows the trail of the shadowy force responsible, Danielle finds herself swept into a maelstrom where the past and the present collide, joined by an ancient text of prophecies that predicts a cataclysmic event about to strike the United States. The only way to change a fate foretold long before is to decipher a cryptic message shrouded in secrecy and guarded by a hidden army.
As time ticks down, Ben and Danielle face off against a new and all-powerful enemy with its own crazed reasons for wanting America's very way-of-life destroyed. Their only hope: to use The Last Prophecy.

Rating: - One of the worst "thrillers" I've ever read.
This was such an awful and clunky book. The story made zero sense and zipped around the world. The big secret was laughable. I kept reading hoping that the big reveal would make it worth it...um, no. The fact that some WWII vets had deciphered a Nazi code that revealed that something vague, and semi-sinister would happen at some point in time was enough to worry supposed illuminati-style bad guys enough to hunt them across the globe and kill them? Please. It was sad. It was so bad that I threw it ... Read More
Rating: - I like my thrillers a little more believeable!
The premise was good and could have made for a good story line. But come on, please.... am I really supposed to believe that Ben and Danielle can conduct all of these super human exploits with hardly a scratch? They seem to pop up everywhere, just in time to save the day, while everyone else gets picked off like fleas! Their wounds seem to heal supernaturally!
And then I'm supposed to believe that a pot head who's stupid enough to believe that he's going to get all A's for the semester ... Read More
Rating: - The Nostradamus Code
With the hype over the Da Vinci Code and its related popularity, you can sometimes get the feeling that some people probably think the grand conspiracy novel started with Dan Brown. Of course, this is not the case, as Brown is merely one in a long line of such thriller writers. Probably the biggest in the bunch was Robert Ludlum, but not to be forgotten is Jon Land. Not quite the big name that Ludlum or Brown, Land is nonetheless the most pure fun, with outlandish plots and tons of action.

Rating: - Just plain horrible
If you're looking for writing that is as clever or as witty as Dean Koontz's, take one pace back away from this book. If you're expecting storyytelling on par with John Grisham, take another step back. If you're hoping for a story loaded with interesting tidbits and facts on par with Dan Brown, take another step back.
This book was unoriginal, boring, predictable, and very cliche. Don't waste your time or your money like I did.
Rating: - Great Book!
I was at the bookstore and picked up this book having never heard of Jon Land. I'm so glad I did! This book had me hooked from the start, I couldn't put it down. It is a fast-paced adventure with a lot of action. I will definitely be reading more books by Jon Land in the future!
