 Dead Heat is dead on! March 25, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I couldn't wait for this book to come out, and read it cover to cover as soon as it arrived. Joel Rosenberg has been given a gift for writing, and he uses that gift well.
Buy two copies of this book and give one away. Whoever you give it to, will thank you. In fact - I highly recommend all of Mr. Rosenberg's books.
An excellent novel March 25, 2008

For those just wanting an opinion, I will tell you that this was an amazing novel. I got it on a Friday night and had it finished by Monday. It will keep you turning pages. It scared me to tears at some parts, because of how realistic this novel is. For how cheap amazon is selling it too, buy this book. 5/5
Hard to put this one down! March 25, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Make sure you have a good block of time before you start reading this book because you will have a hard time putting it down. From the first pages you are swept into an electrifying story of a possible terrorist attack on the U.S. that will keep you riveted page after page. The scenarios that unfold in this book are very plausible and yet at the same time horrifying. Sadly, these events could happen to us.
I've read all of Joel Rosenberg's books and in my opinion this is one of his best so far. If you are a fan of end times fiction as I am, this is a must for you.
An amazing ending to an amazing series March 23, 2008

The Jon and Erin Bennett series has been not only an excellent story, but has made us aware of Biblical prophecies and our part in them.
Rosenberg's previous books have also seemed 'prophetic' - in that many of the actions of his book, have happened - some months before his books have come out, but in the publishing process - so it is with a deep breath you should start reading Dead Heat.
I read about half of it in one night - finished it the next.
Is it a happy read? No. Well, maybe for some, but it is one of the most frightening and graphic reads of the violence that has been written of what will occur before The Rapture and afterwards. I think Rosenberg must have been channeling John - because it is Revelations in present day situations.
The situations in the world are turbulent - if you have studied the past years of this world's history, and read these books, you will be scratching your head and saying - No - couldn't happen...
But Rosenberg is making us think - and we better start thinking really hard how we want our world to be, and how it will be when our children's children are on the earth.
Really makes us want to make some major changes - and in every aspects - religion, politics, the whole package.
I will miss the Bennetts, as I have missed Mordechai, who was so instrumental in the previous books.
I cannot imagine what Rosenberg will do next.
I know he is involved in Joshuafund, but certainly hope he keeps writing.
This offering is red hot and intense and will keep you up at night thinking about how did we get in this mess?
It's a WOW
fabulous thriller March 21, 2008

President James Macpherson is on his way to Los Angeles to give a speech at the Republican National Convention at the Staples Center. His intelligence team killed a terrorist they have been hunting for years but in his computer they find a map of the Staples Center. They think the terrorists are targeting the president but are confident that they have him protected. The Secret Service is proven wrong when container ships launch scud missiles with nuclear warheads at D.C., Seattle, Manhattan, and Southern California killing the president and many others.
Vice President Oaks is now the president and he and his advisors are in a bunker deep underground. He intends to make the country who launched the bombs pay for killing millions of Americans but he has no idea what country it is. North Korea is prepared to invade the South and could have done it as they had the means. The new president of Iraq who makes Saddam Hussein look like a choir boy hates the Americans and is in league with the U.N. Secretary-General. He is prepared to go to war to prevent the Kurdish providence from succeeding and joining the new Kurdistan. Israel builds the Third Temple to the consternation of other nations. It looks like intelligence is needed to figure out who killed America and since the infrastructure is destroyed, the US must depend on its allies and what little intelligence they have from contact with the field.
Joel C. Rosenberg writes a political thriller based on today's headlines and most of the events in DEAD HEAT could conceivably happen. The action is non stop from the very first page and the politicians and elected officials feel lifelike. It is interesting to see what happens when a first strike hits America and how the country reacts to most of its land made wasted. Mr. Rosenberg is fantastic writer whose chilling and exciting novels make him one of the best thriller authors writing today.
