The Last Jihad (Political Thrillers Series #1) (ISBN 1593350163)

Wow! Thrilling and Thought-Provoking:
The back-story of this novel is almost as good as the book itself. Joel Rosenberg predicted terrorist attacks against the United States--even imagined they'd come in the form of kamikaze airplane attacks--BEFORE the events of 9/11. This book begins to paint a picture--drawn on his real world experience in and around the Middle East, Washington and elsewhere--about why today's events are unfolding and what may be next. Entertaining and thought-provoking! A definite must-read!

Entertaining and Educational:
Probably the title says it all. I was absolutely "stuck" with this book--couldn't put it down! Every time I wanted to stop reading at the end of the page, I couldn't because something was happening and I had to go on! It was absolutely enthralling! The other interesting thing about it is that I learned so much about the culture and mindset of both sides in the crisis of the Middle East. While what I learned didn't change my mind about what I feel is the best solution, I understand better how the other side thinks.

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.

Larry A. Hull:
Good story line, too many slow spots, needs more action and less talking ie: too much questioning between players. Give an order and someone asks why? right in the middle of an action scene.

Fiction, not education:
Anyone who says this book is educational is downright laughable. This author is paranoid. I guess people LOVE hype. If you'd like an education, don't read FICTION. Take this book for what it is: a story.
