review 1: Having read the reviews I wrote for the first two books in this series, they seem to go the same way for me. I think it's way too wordy and then the end is just a rip-roaring good time. Same here. David remains at the center of the action, in and out of many an improbable and unlikely situation in pursuit of the remaining two of Iran's nukes. The best part was, by far, Beerjandi's (sp?) witness and subsequent martydom at the end. I'll stick with Rosenberg for the rest of the series. But next time I'll remind myself that it's just so many words until the good stuff.
review 2: I do not recommend this book. There were too many characters that cluttered up the pages & too few back-stories that were clearly told. This book encourages fear of Muslims, instead of enco... moreuraging Christians to pray for & witness to them. If I wanted to read doomsday hate-filled, fear-mongering propaganda, I would get online. The story is presented out-of-sync & out-of-order. People are introduced & then drop out for chapters at a time. Each chapter jumps from city-to-city and country-to-country, with a confused & convoluted timeline. Events are not chronological; you read events in one chapter that progress forward & then jump backwards in the next chapter to catch one more person’s view of the events. The conclusion was weak & rushed, despite being a 465 page-story. On a positive note, there are lots of prayers & references to God. The story is intense & captivating, but overall, I was disappointed in this book. less
