Product DescriptionThe book that started it all, The Last Jihad is the first of Joel C. Rosenberg's New York Times best-selling series, with 500,000 in print. The first page puts readers in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze mission into an American city--but it was written nine months before 9/11/01. As the plot unfolds, White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are under attack in Jerusalem as the U.S. goes to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction--but The Last Jihad was published four months before the actual Iraq war began.

Rating: - Good first novel
Rosenberg's first novel is a pretty good thriller. His action scenes are fast paced and thrilling, even though he crowds in a lot of technical details about weapons. I read these scenes rapidly, eager to find out who would live and who would not.

Rating: - Thrilling, scary!
This book was thrilling, scary, and almost phrophetic when it was written. I could hardly put it down, then read the rest of the series a quickly as I could! READ THESE!
Rating: - Good political thriller
Joel Rosenberg kept me up late turning pages to see how it ended. Then I had to order the second in the series to find out how the story continued. I plan on getting all of his books to continue the story.
Rating: - Great!!!!
Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!
Rating: - Very realistic book - exciting!
This is a great book! Quite a bit like a vintage Tom Clancy or maybe Clive Cussler but more believable. I really liked it and am planning to read the rest of the series.
