 Dead Heat June 24, 2008

Great book, couldn't put it down. Real s-c-a-r-y! Could it happen? It does seem to follow along with some of the prophecies in the Bible.
 Dead Heat: A Book Too Far June 24, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am a big fan of Rosenberg's work. I thought Last Jihad was brilliant and Copper Scroll not far behind. However, Dead Heat did not come in for a Dead Heat with any of Rosenberg's other books in the series.
Dead Heat begins with the excitement that Rosenberg fans expect. A couple of great terrorist scenes, a nice thesis for how the nuclear attack on the US will occur and one would suspect that we are off to the races. However, 60 pages in, Dead Heat dies! Rosenberg suddenly becomes a Christian missionary of the very boring sort. While he expects us to follow him to the Rapture, instead I found myself falling off to a nap-ture. Boring dialogue, silly action and really unbelieveable plots lead Dead Heat to an early grave.
Read all of Rosenberg's other books in the series. Enjoy a great craftsman at work. Be facinated by his foresight. However, use your own foresight and avoid Dead Heat!
The End of the Series June 23, 2008

You soon find with this last installment in Rosenberg's series that you didn't really need the introduction in order to tell that this was indeed going to be the last book with these characters. In time-honored tradition the author does away with his creations, but always in context of a fast-paced and exciting storyline.
If you enjoyed The Last Jihad and the other Rosenberg books, you will love this one. It is another "I can't believe I stayed up until 3am" book that is very hard to put down.
Disappointed in "Dead Heat" June 19, 2008

Dead Heat (Political Thrillers Series #5)
I loved the other books in this series, which is why this one was such a disappointment. I still give it 4 stars but I get the feeling he was just anxious to wrap up this series. I found the plot a bit contrived and it left me feeling VERY unsatisfied as to quality of writing, character development, plot continuity...Maybe it's me but I felt Rosenberg has other things he is interested in/doing now and just phoned this book in. I really hope he doesn't start a new series because I will then think he shortchanged this book to spend his effort on the next ones.
Grabs your attention immediately June 19, 2008

Joel's book Dead Heat grabs your attention on the first page, and holds it until the last page.
His writing is tomorrow's headlines. He has the background and first-hand knowledge on what he is writing and puts it in story form to convey a very serious message.
I've read it in about (2) days, and will read it again.
Get the book.
