The Ezekiel Option

The Last Jihad, Book 3

By: Joel C. Rosenberg

Narrated by: Patrick G. Lawlor

The first page of Joel C. Rosenberg's first thriller, The Last Jihad, put listeners inside the cockpit of a hijacked jet, coming in on a kamikaze attack into an American city...but it was written nine months before September 11, 2001. As Jihad unfolds, an American president finds himself in a war with Saddam Hussein over terrorism and weapons of mass destruction...but it was published five months before the actual war with Iraq began.

Rosenberg's second novel, The Last Days, opens with the death of Yasser Arafat and an American president pressing for peace in the Middle East...but it was published 13 months before the actual death of Yasser Arafat.

Now comes The Ezekiel Option, an explosive new political thriller that literally feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines. With Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat out of the way, a dazzling era of security and prosperity seems to have come to the Middle East. With the help of an American president trying to spread freedom and democracy, the Israelis and the Palestinians have signed a historic peace agreement. Violence is down. Their economies are booming.

But a new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new Axis of Evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy - two senior White House advisors - find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: Is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?

Critic reviews

"The book is better written and more complex than Left Behind, to which it will inevitably be compared." ( Publishers Weekly)

Thrilling!

The book explains prophecy in Real Time. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish!

The Russians and Muslims Get What's Coming

Would you consider the audio edition of The Ezekiel Option to be better than the print version?

The audio book is more convenient and easy to listen to while I do other things. Reading reminds me of Law School and resembles work.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ezekiel Option?

The launch of the Russian ICBM signaled game on.

What does Patrick G. Lawlor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Easy to listen to voice, clear, distinct. Brings color and interest to the story by adding emotion and stress.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Once again the US wimps out in the face of Russian cleverness, strategy, and aggression.

One of the best books I have ever read

Absolutely riveting I have listened to it at least 5 times you will learn prophecy in a most entertaining way

Exciting From Start to Finish

This is an excellent series, especially if the prominent role of Biblical prophecy doesn't offend you. This book was as good as any in the series.
