Fascinating take on Biblical prophecy. Plenty of action and excitement to keep me interested. The last few chapters were especially difficult to put down. I have read all of Joel's fictional books and I love every single one of them. I hope he comes out with more very soon.

The whole trilogy is must-reading for anyone paying attention to events in Syria.

A powerful, refreshingly honest, and spiritually uplifting closing act to the Twelfth Imam trilogy, this novel has it all. David Shirazi and those who fight with him, including several converts from Islam to Christianity, draw on the power and goodness of Christ to stop the annihilation of Israel

by the Islamic leader of the foretold Caliphate of united Islamic nations. This book literally keeps you on the edge of anticipation until the cataclysmic end. I was really hoping this one would deliver, and thankfully it did. Recommended for all....

Damascus Countdown continues where The Tehran Initiative left off. Mr. Rosenberg's writing style allows you to pick up and read and still know what is going on without having read any of the previous books. Joel Rosenberg does not shy away from end time prophecy, nor does he back off from

prominently displaying the faith of his Christian characters. Damascus Countdown is a captivating thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a book that will keep will pull you in from page one and keep you until you turn the very last page. This was a book that I had to read in one sitting as I could not put it down. I love how he takes Biblical prophecy and real events and interweaves it with fiction to create a very believable story. I have enjoyed this series tremendously and am sad that this is the last of the series.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants not only a good read, but enjoys a fast-paced Christian thriller with tons of action.

This third book in the series lived up to its name. It felt as though I were living the day-by-day countdown toward a devastating nuclear launch. Intense toward the end. Recommend this entire series!
