Oil prices are surging to record highs.
A new dictator is rising in Iraq.
China is threatening Taiwan.
North Korean forces are ready to strike south.
Israel is feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple.

And in the midst of a world ready to explode, American president James MacPherson's second term is ending.

The battle to succeed him is heating up into the most fiercely contested presidential election in American history. Who will lead a bitterly divided country over the next four years? And just what role - if any - does the U.S. play in history's last days?

As the presidential campaign narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic terrorist plot to assassinate one of the candidates - but which one? Who do they want dead? And can U.S. forces stop the terrorists before millions lose their lives?

"...his novels seem to be ripped from the headlines - next year's headlines." Washington Times
"For many adults Joel Rosenberg is the it author right now. Inside and outside the Beltway in Washington, people are snatching up copies of his almost lifelike terrorist suspense novels." CNN Headline News

Even though the plot is incredible, reader Phil Gigante's big voice (pun intended) makes this audio a pleasure to hear. Feature this: China is threatening Taiwan; the North Koreans are going to invade South Korea; there are at least three new Mid-East crises in the making; Israel is trying to build a third holy temple in Jerusalem; and four American cities get nuked--all on the first disc. Not withstanding all of the above, what was meant to be light reading is even lighter listening. And though you can't take this plot seriously, Gigante blazes through it with clarity and aplomb. As you're trying to keep up with the plot and characters, you forget about believability and have as much fun listening as Gigante has reading. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
