Runoutoftime5 Stars Out Of 5Compelling Story Which Ties in with Current Events - It Could Happen!August 15, 2014RunoutoftimeQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5I could not put this book down after getting to a certain point in the story! This book is a must read for all people as it informs well about the Islamic beliefs while tied into prophecy. It was the first time I've read any Q'uran quotes which are very devasting to Christians and Jews. We have a chance to avoid calamity if we choose. The story really ties in with current events. I can see where Israel would not trust any other country intelligence and act on its' own. Trust between governments is very challenging, as conveyed by the author. Israel is so much closer to the situation. I could picture this story actually happening. Other books by Joel Rosenberg are equally compelling.

DaveSt. PetersburgAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Exciting story ... Rosenberg has become a favoriteNovember 18, 2010DaveSt. PetersburgAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Twelfth Imam - eBook The Twelfth Imam Series #1.First-time author Joel Rosenberg wrote a novel in which terrorists hijack a plane and crash it into the World Trade Center. Not all that impressive, except that he completed the book nine months before the tragedy of 9/11 ever happened. The eerie way life imitated art thrust Rosenberg into the national spotlight, and he's been on the best-seller list ever since.
His new book, The Twelfth Imam, should further cement his popularity. The story take place today, and current events about the conflict and intrigue that characterize the geopolitical realities of the Middle East are woven masterfully throughout. Apocalyptic leaders of Iran are calling for the annihilation of Israel and the United States, AKA "The Great Satan." Iranian-born CIA operative David Shirazi slips into Tehran to disrupt the implementation of Iran's secret nuclear weapons program.
Complicating matters is the emergence of a mysterious cleric. Do the miracles and healings he's performing confirm that he is the Islamic messiah known as the Twelfth Imam?
Rosenberg does a masterful job of building the suspense page by exciting page. And he provides enough back story into his characters and details about the life and culture of the Middle East to make his yarn feel believable.
There is a strong spiritual component to The Twelfth Imam that is tethered to popular perspectives on end times prophesy. Jesus himself appears to a number of characters looking as described in Revelation and quoting passages of scripture. While I wouldn't agree with some of Rosenberg's eschatology, I still thoroughly enjoyed the book.
An advance reader copy of this book was provided by the publisher. -

From the very first sentence on the very first page of "The Twelfth Imam", throughout "The Tehran Initiative", to the very last sentence on the very last page of "The Damascus Countdown" I was captivated. Excellent, thought-provoking, captivating writing.
