Product Description
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 thirteen 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?

 This series is AMAZING!!! June 19, 2008
WOW! If I had to choose one word to describe this book that one would be it. I will admit that I was slightly disappointed at the beginning of this book because it seemed that it was going to follow the format of #2. Meaning: a little too much talking and explaining and not enough action. While there was a bit of that in the beginning it quickly passed and this book took on a whole new life. Since this book has been out for a while I could care less about me throwing spoilers out there.
I had no idea this book would take the turn that it did! The ending when Russia was destroyed and Israel was saved was simply breathtaking and amazing! This book was emotional on so many levels. It was emotional on the level that you really cared for the characters. Emotional on the level that you really wanted to see the evil Nations blown the heck up. Emotional on the level that would God really step in and cause the prophecy to be true? Emotional on the level that holy crap, he REALLY did step in and cause the prophecy to come true. Emotional that Christians around the world and in times past didnt suffer in vain and that there is a paradise waiting for us in the not so distant future. Emotional on the level that we know that evil WILL be obliterated and that payback coming and when it does its going to come H.A.R.D.!!
This book did take a much more religious turn than his last ones and makes you wonder about God. Not change your mind about God but wonder about him. If your faith can be shaken by a fictional book then you need to reevaluate your faith (Da Vinci Code haters) But this book raises some very good questions, issues, and would be a perfect book for a discussion especially now since a lot of people believe we ARE in the last days.
This book ended on a pretty hard exclamation mark and Im really, really tempted to get the next one tonight! Usually I try and read a book in between but I simply have to know what happens next. Dont be like me and wait to read this series yall. It simply is too good to keep passing up.
Dramatic, Believable, Compelling May 9, 2008
The centerpiece of Joel Rosenberg's 5-book series, the Ezekiel Option weaves a very credible story that shows just how quickly--and how easily--geopolitical events could culminate in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies that foretell a war against Israel ultimately won by God Himself. Great, great reading. I can't recommend it more highly!
The Ezekial Option May 8, 2008
Great read! I recommend the entire series to everyone! His books may very well predict the future.
Great Book May 3, 2008
I was not expecting much when I began this book (due to previous series on end times) but I found it to be riveting and unemotional. The author uses scripture throughout to explain and teach the characters' positions and opinions. In my view it is much better and more intellectual than the previous series.
excellent April 30, 2008
I loved this fast paced thrilling book. I could not put it down.
Makes you stop and think just what could happen.
I will buy the rest of the series for sure.
Ezek 38 and 39 come to life in a very near future. Russia and Iran, right out of todays media. Makes you wonder if God is trying to let mankind know what is ahead.
