The Last Jihad is a gripping and prescient tale from New York Times bestselling author Joel C. RosenbergJon Bennett is a top Wall Street strategist turned senior White House advisor. But nothing has prepared him for the terror that he will face. Saddam Hussein dispatches his top hit men to assassinate the President of the United States. Iraqi terrorists spread carnage throughout London, Paris, and Riyadh...and the Butcher of Baghdad has a nuclear ace in his hand that he has not yet played. Only a solid Arab-Isreali coalition against Iraq can keep the U.S.--and other Western nations--from certain devastation. And only Bennett and his beautiful partner, Erin McCoy, can make that happen. Their secret project--a billion-dollar oil deal off the coast of Gaza--could be the basis for an historic peace treaty and enormous wealth for every Isreali and Palestinian. But just before a treaty can be signed, Isreali commandos foil an Iraqi Scud missile launch, recovering a nuclear warhead and evidence that the next attack will level Washington, New York and Tel Aviv. Now, the Isreali Prime Minister gives the American President an ultimatum: Melt down Baghdad within one hour...or Israel will do it herself. From Jerusalem, Bennett and McCoy must summon all their stealth and savvy to save themselves--and the world--from absolute destruction.… (mehr)

The President is almost killed by Saddam Hussein and another attack is close. That plan is foiled but a nuclear weapon is fired at the end of the book.

Some excellent action, starting with the opening sequence where a rogue Gulfstream IV is shot down, but the explosion trashes the President's limo, the ending shootout in the former top Mossad agent's house in Jerusalem with the four horseman of the apocalypse Arab hitmen, and the roughly simultaneous sniper sequence prior to the memorial service for the secret service agents killed in the opening scene. However, there were some parts that could have been better, with some of the denouement coming from less than likely places and failure to fully utilize the main character's expertise: the ability to synthesize patterns in obscure details. But, the basic premise of the book, threats to Israel's existence from a nuclear-capable Iraq, led by a dying Saddam Hussein was well done. ( )

I believe this is the third of Rosenberg's fiction books. A bit dated now (first released in 2002) but still enjoyable as an early effort. The finish certainly comes with a dose of adrenaline. Rosenberg writes geopolitical ficton based on a Christian world view of current/future world events, which is subtly presented through characters of faith who depend upon God's wisdom and mercy. Character development is good but not great in this book, but it is also the first in a series. It was strong enough that I will read the next. He is out of his element when he gets into military operations and tech, but there isn't enough of that to spoil the story, just enough to make things happen.

Overall I give this one a 3.5. His later Twelfth Imam series is stronger so there is hope for this one as it develops. ( )

Non-stop action. One surprising plot twist and an interesting plot in general. Recommended. ( )
