Acerca de esta escucha
In the tradition of epic novels like Exodus and Cast a Giant Shadow, Isaac’s Beacon is a sweeping historical tale based on the real events of Israel’s founding - bringing alive the power and complexities of the birth of the Jewish state out of the ashes of the Holocaust. Best-selling author David L. Robbins, called “the Homer of World War II”, turns his mastery of the historical novel to another defining moment of the 20th century: the birth of the state of Israel.
Isaac’s Beacon is a small, vulnerable kibbutz on the edge of the Negev. Here, the lives of three memorable characters - an Irgun terrorist, a young woman farmer, and an American journalist - collide to shape an epic narrative of love, loss, violence, and courage. Deeply researched and closely based on actual events, Isaac’s Beacon is the first in a series of Robbins’ novels that will explore the tumultuous, complex history and lasting impact of Israel’s creation.

The battle at Stalingrad during World War II has been called the bloodiest campaign in the history of war. Success was measured in meters, and corpses piled high amid the charred wreckage of the Russian city. In this grisly setting, David L. Robbins stages an unforgettable contest. On the Russian side is Zaitsev, the Hare, who has been trained since childhood in hunting and tracking. As a sniper, he kills a German with each bullet. Berlin has sent its best marksman, the Headmaster, to find and kill the Hare. The Headmaster's accuracy is phenomenal, and his cunning is legendary.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence; it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.

After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration.

Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Richmond, Virginia 1811. It’s the height of the winter social season, the General Assembly is in session, and many of Virginia’s gentleman planters, along with their wives and children, have made the journey to the capital. On the night after Christmas, the city's only theater is packed with holiday revelers. In the middle of a performance, the theater goes up in flames. Based on the true story of Richmond’s theater fire, The House Is on Fire offers proof that sometimes, in the midst of great tragedy, we are offered our most precious—and fleeting—chances at redemption.

In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.

Phenomenal novel about the founding of Israel
"The desert keeps a still tongue. When it does speak, it comes for your
life.” This line, uttered by an Arab gunrunner-poet, captures the essence and
raw beauty of David L. Robbins’ epic, Isaac’s Beacon.
In the footsteps of James Michener and Ken Follett, Isaac’s Beacon is a sumptuously
written sweeping tale of love, loss and the determination to rise from the ashes.
Robbins is at the top of his game with this dramatization of the founding of Israel.
The novel is impeccably researched and filled with characters that bleed
on the page as much as they bleed on the sand. And as is expected of not only Robbins,
but the subject matter, intense action explodes on the page.
Isaac’s Beacon is a gripping story of the will of the spirit and the power
of the pen. It’s a story of survival, rebirth and justice. Highly recommended.
Excellent narration too.
