All eyes are on the Middle East.
Israel has successfully launched a first strike on Iran, taking out all of
their nuclear sites and six of their nuclear warheads—and causing The Twelfth
Imam to order a full-scale retaliation. US President William Jackson threatens
to support a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Jewish State for
unprovoked and unwarranted acts of aggression.
Damascus
Countdown doesn't disappoint. As with
Rosenberg’s other novels, this one reads like it was snatched from the
headlines of the daily news. The plot is entirely plausible, the tension
between the Middle Eastern countries is palpable, and the characters are realistic.
Damascus Countdown carries an echo of prophetic fulfillment mixed with story
lines straight from modern newspapers. Rosenberg skillfully wove the story around two
close families, the Shirazi's, the Harper's, and their children. The story-line
seemed so current, so fresh that the author seemed at times to be prophetic.
The underlying story of his renewed love for his childhood friend, Marseille
Harper, was taunt with frustration as his job always seemed to call him away at
the most inopportune times.
David Shirazi is a top CIA agent and
undercover operative within the Jihadist caliphate.
Rosenberg does a phenomenal job of combining action that is fast-paced and fun to read with a storyline that moves along well. The action is believable and realistic. Characters incorporate Old Testament prophecies that hint at the events being described. The reader experiences the struggles of young faith along with Shirazi, who must attempt to balance Christian belief with the demands of a CIA operation. We are introduced to other converted Muslims, whom are concerned for their countrymen's souls,’ which leaps off the page and adds another dimension to the story.

While
the book is a work of fiction, it is close enough to reality to be believable. Great
Story and I highly recommend. If you like political thrillers this book as well
as the others in the series is a must read, definitely another best seller.
I
received a copy of this book from the Tyndale Blog Network bloggers program for
my review.
