Last in a series of 5 August 25, 2008 See review for Copper Scroll which is the previous book in the series. Highly recommend the entire series.
Voice in the Wilderness August 18, 2008 Listened to this book on CD and was completely captivated until the last chapter. Last chapter was lame, left more loose ends than necessary, and the bad guys got away. Even if there was a followon tribulation series, I wouldn't open the first page.
Great!! August 16, 2008 Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!
Highly recommend Joel Rosenberg's books August 8, 2008 I actually bought this book for my wife as a gift. I have bought all of Joel C. Rosenberg's books as Christmas gits each year for my wife, but Dead Heat didn't come out until March of 2008. Joel Rosenberg is a master story teller. What makes his stories stand out even more is his overwhelming understanding of world events. As you read his books you wait with anticipation to see if what you just read appears in newspaper headlines and on the evening news tomorrow. I highly recommend all of Joel Rosenberg's books considering what is going on in the world today.
Are negative stars possible? August 6, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have only myself to blame. Usually when I read an author for the first time I look at reader reviews, but for whatever reason, this time I did not. The end result is that I bought one of the least enjoyable books I have ever read. I found the writing style somewhat stilted, but I suppose that is a matter of taste. The real problem is that this is not so much of a story as a vehicle for proselytizing Evangelical Christianity. The ending (or really non-ending) is also absurd. The "good guys", i.e. those who have accepted Jesus as their personal savior, are suddenly zapped into heaven, leaving everything else unresolved.
