 Plot suicide May 11, 2008
Following on the heels of The Copper Scroll, possibly the most positive book in the series, Dead Heat is certainly the most negative. In the introduction, Rosenberg states that this book is the final one in the series originating out of The Last Jihad, which was not initially meant to be part of a series at all. One might suspect that Rosenberg might, once again, be persuaded to continue the series, as he has before, but after only a few pages his determination to end the series becomes quite clear. Dead Heat is a story that has no plot beyond the utter destruction of its principle characters. Three-hundred-seventy-four pages appears to be what it takes to destroy everything. Still, it's no a book to be put down and forgotten about. The writing is as sophisticated as the previous books. Is it worth the read? Certainly, but not if you're feeling depressed and have a gun in the closet.
 Exciting Picture of the End Times. May 10, 2008
Rosenberg captures the attention of his readers from the first page again. It was a great read as it explores a possible scenario of what will happen to the USA in the next few years.
Rosenberg's imagination catapults the readers mind into examining their own lives to see if they are ready for the End. It puts the meaning of life into perspective with what is really important in the event that as a Christian has been caught up in the values of the world. In the end, it shows how insignificant these things are.
A compelling book. A great Read....and a life changer if you are ready!
Kept my attention May 9, 2008
I had a hard time putting this book down. I recommend reading the other 4 books in the series first. The series makes you think about how quickly things can change and how quickly end-time prophecy can be fulfilled.
 not rapturous about Dead Heat May 9, 2008
I was lured by the reputation of the author
to "predict" horrible events- most of which are
merely inevitable given the state of the world
today- to give it as a gift to my husband who
enjoys the espionage/thriller genre. Our interest
in this otherwise well written and interesting novel
was quickly quenched when the "Rapture" theme
was introduced. I would not have bought the novel
had I known of this theme.
The Riveting Conclusion of a Great Series May 9, 2008
Whew. Dead Heat, the last installment in Joel Rosenberg's thrilling series, is all-too-real. It's a stark reminder of the threats we face from those who would seek to destroy the U.S. Dead Heat delivers another action-filled adventure laced with messages we cannot afford to miss or ignore. If you read his first novel (The Last Jihad), you will find that you won't be able to resist seeing the series to its dramatic conclusion.
