Narrado por: David deVries

"The president of the United States...is missing."

With these words, New York Times journalist J. B. Collins, reporting from the scene of a devastating attack by ISIS terrorists in Amman, Jordan, puts the entire world on high alert. The leaders of Israel and Palestine are critically injured, Jordan's king is fighting for his life, and the U.S. president is missing and presumed captured.

As the U.S. government faces a constitutional crisis and Jordan battles for its very existence, Collins must do his best to keep the world informed while working to convince the FBI that his stories are not responsible for the terror attack on the Jordanian capital. And ISIS still has chemical weapons....

Struggling to clear his name, Collins and the Secret Service try frantically to locate and rescue the leader of the free world before ISIS's threats become a catastrophic reality.

Edge of my seat book just like the first..

I had no idea there was going to be or is another book out there about this.. being book 3? I'm so very ready to learn what is going to happen. I loved this book as did I loved the first .

Excellent and timely!

Great engaging plot and characters. I also learned some interesting facts about the Middle East history and roots of the current conflicts,

outstanding thriller you can't put down

loved it. non stop action great plot. you will not want to put this book down until the end.

Awesome follow-up to Third Target!

At the end of Third Target, I couldn't wait for this book to come out. The wait was worth it! Very good book, action packed and perfect end to the story. I've enjoyed everything I've read by this author. Highly recommended.

Left me wanting

I enjoyed the story, but the ending left me wanting more. l got no closure.

Terror On Every Side

Think terror, actio, war and survival and you get a glimpse into this amazing story from today's headlines. I feel you scare easily. this story isn't for you. Danger truly lurks around every corner.
Joel Rosenberg is an extremely prolific author. Once you read/listen to one of his books, you'll be hooked! I highly recommend this story to you!

Wow! Excellent!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this two book series. I couldn't wait to get back into the car to hear more of the story. It was exciting from the beginning to the end!

Just started with this author.

Even at eight years old, still relevant. Many things still the same. Look at the war in Israel.

Good story!

If you like action, thrills, and warriors, you'll like this. The lead character is a journalist who tangles with ISIS, gets in their crosshairs, and has to save the President from them. Worth a credit.

That said, there is a small downside. Rosenberg wanted to weave in Christianity, which as a Christian myself I have no problem with. However, it was clunky, feeling more like an afterthought than a story element. Every time the story veered into Bible and faith talk, the story slowed and the passage felt stilted. It never actually moved the story forward. I like the instinct but the execution could use some work.

Great story, brilliant narration.

the story kept me at the edge of my seat it was a brilliant spy novel turn war novel.
