 Too Religious for me July 8, 2008
This book certainly had a slam-bang beginning. I wasn't prepared, however for the Biblical aspect of the book and the preaching that took up whole pages of the text. I am not looking for a thriller that asks me to accept Jesus as my savior in every chapter. The author is a good writer, but the plot got so outlandish that I ended up being very disappointed. I paid money to get a sermon I could have gotten for free from a door- to -door Christian mission worker.
 Not as good as his other books July 7, 2008
I am a huge fan of Rosenberg's other books in this series. I got my wife reading his books with me. We have both been waiting to read this book as soon as it came out. My wife bought me this book for Father's Day on CD so we could listen together in our travels this summer. We just finished the book on our drive home last night.
We turned off the CD last night and I looked at her and the first thing she said was that she didn't like this book as much as the others. I think she was trying to be nice because she knows how much I enjoyed reading his other books; I own all of his books in this series and have read them all two or more times each. I don't believe that I will read Dead Heat again, once is enough for me.
The book started just as the others did it was able to catch my attention and I had to read on to see what was going to happen next.
The book did cause my wife and I to discuss at length the prophecies regarding the last days and the events that are going to occur prior to the second coming. The positive from our reading the book together is that it did cause us to discuss and will lead to our reading and study of the prophecies regarding the last days again together.
I am a devout Christian. I read and study daily the writings of the prophets and apostles and the teachings of Christ. I have worked as a missionary giving of my time and resources to help others find the truth and helping them find Christ. I will say that I was frustrated that Rosenberg devoted so much of this book, a political thriller, to preaching and testifying of Christ. I realize that the time and place where this is to occur and his dedication to the biblical prophecies, and the devotion and development of his characters would necessitate some discussion of the biblical prophesies and some personal application to the characters and the events unfolding in their lives. I did feel that the book was a bit "preachy" and that there was a deviation from the story, plot to preach to the reader.
 A disappointment July 6, 2008
This book was a disappointing finale to the series. More theology than thriller it had more fairy tales than a Han Christian Anderson anthology. Not even a subtle, veiled attempt at conversion this sceamed it. Poorly plotted and poorly written this book is insulting and offensive to many. Save your money!
 Dead Heat July 5, 2008
This book was one of those ones that you can't put down! Awesome book! Joel Rosenberg is one of the very best authors. I have purchased 2 books so I can share with others. Highly recommended reading is my opinion.
~Exceptional~ July 4, 2008
An incredible series that culminates with another wonderful and extremely plausible story. In fact, the authority Mr. Rosenberg uses as he weaves together the past, present, and possible future tensions in the Middle East and abroad is noteworthy. Drawing on the Ultimate History Book, the Bible, he shows beyond a shadow of a doubt the absolute authority its Author has. I look forward to reading anything else written by Mr. Rosenberg.
