 Superb final story May 30, 2009

So very typical of Rosenberg - good guys don't always make it in a harsh real world. He keeps the story running; easy to drop and return to without skipping a beat. I look forward to anything he publishes. Now reading Epicenter 2.
One Plausible Outcome ~ Sad & intriguing at the same time. May 13, 2009

I started Joel's series because I'd read Epicenter. This entire series rocks with focus, twists and turns, and incredible insight ~ both real from study, and imaginative "what if" scenarios. No matter what your belief system is ~ consider keeping up with Joel.
Rosenberg Outdoes Himself in Dead Heat May 3, 2009
Jeffrey Cole (Indianapolis USA)
Joel C. Rosenberg has outdone himself with Dead Heat, the final episode in his political thriller series. If you aren't up to speed yet with the rest of this series, you might want to catch up with my reviews of the first four books in the series:
The Last Jihad
The Last Days
The Ezekiel Option
The Copper Scroll
I found each of the five episodes very difficult to put down, but Dead Heat was virtually impossible to get away from. I found myself up late into the night, not wanting to set the story aside, until I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer.
When the United States finds itself targeted by an unknown enemy, all hell literally breaks loose in this incredbile conclusion to the story that began with the nearly prophetic The Last Jihad. I can't think of much to say without spoiling the entire story, and this story is really one that deserves to be read by everyone. Whether you're a fan of Christian fiction, theology, thrillers, suspense, or political drama, Dead Heat (and all of it's predecessors) will certainly please you.
If you really want to know more about this story -- if you really need more reason to read it -- then drop me an email and let me know, and I'll be happy to share more details of the story with you. Of course, you'll only be cheating yourself.
This is absolutely the best novel I have read this year (sure, the years is still young, but I bet that statement will still be true six months from now). Do yourself a favor and order a copy today.

A suspenseful indictment of Islam but too much preaching April 24, 2009
Rudy Wright (BOULDER, CO United States)
Like The Ezekiel Option this is a fast-paced, bone-chilling scenario that grabs the reader. But just as it gets exciting Joel reverts to preaching to the reader. I respect most of the teachings of the prophet Yeshua of Nazareth but I don't need to have him show up in every chapter. That was also my criticism of the Copper Scroll.
As the author of "Tehran Mission" I was able to draw on Joel's outstanding knowledge of militant Islam and encouraged to learn more for my upcoming sequel.
Thanks for the inspiration Joel and keep those books coming.
Covert christian rhetoric notwithstanding, I enjoyed the book and found it hard to put down. Sorry there will be no more in the series.
Engrossing, Suspenseful. Thrilling. Prophetic. April 9, 2009
Jeffrey E Ellis (Naperville, IL USA)

DEAD HEAT finds our heroes Jon Bennet and Erin McCoy in Amman, Jordan doing international relief work. The world is engulfed in a rising tide of evil.
Israel is taking her place in the international community as God's timepiece for the last days. Reconstruction of the Third Temple is underway. Iraq is consolidating regional power. Oil is over $300 a barrel and the world economy is reeling.
Joel Rosenberg has written a tour de force in this political series. This installment, #5 finishes the series with an erie finale, true to the prophetic word which birthed it.
