Book Description

With over one million novels in print, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes, and predictions in a way that builds confidence that allows Joel to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture as a guide to understanding the past and the future. Drawing on his experience in Washington, his own exclusive interviews with world leaders, and his astute political acumen, Joel makes sense of the events surrounding the Middle East. He connects information in a way that will make you understand and really care about the world's most important events and how they impact your life--from gas prices to your bank account.Epicenter is about: Change--big changes, dramatic changes, changes that will transform the world as we know it. Answers--what the changes are underway in the world's most important countries. Insight--readers will understand the trajectory of world events by being taken inside the governments of Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, and more. Accessibility--aimed for a wide audience in both the general and Christian markets. Faith--Joel shares his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture. Epicenter will answer questions like: Will Iraq go from bad to worse? Will Israel and her Arab neighbors find peace, or is another major Middle East war just around the corner? If the new, post-Soviet Russia is our friend, why is the Kremlin creating a new class of thermonuclear weapons and building an alliance with radical Islam?

Book Description

When Russia's richest oil baron is killed, Moscow suddenly teeters on the verge of political chaos. Tehran races to complete its nuclear arsenal. Washington finds herself dangerously divided from her European allies. A new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new axis of evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy, two senior White House advisors, find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?

Book Description

Saddam is gone, Arafat is dead, and a new Iraq is rising. But when a suicide bomber strikes Washington and assassinations unfold from London to Los Angeles, Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are drawn back into a world of terror they thought was over. At the heart of the mystery lies a 2,000-year-old scroll describing unimaginable treasures that could lead to the Third Jewish Temple. Some call it history’s greatest treasure map. Others call it a road map to Armageddon. But the time to find the truth is running out fast.

Book Description

The book that started it all, The Last Jihad is the first of Joel C. Rosenberg's New York Times best-selling series, with 500,000 in print. The first page puts readers in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze mission into an American city--but it was written nine months before 9/11/01. As the plot unfolds, White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are under attack in Jerusalem as the U.S. goes to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction--but The Last Jihad was published four months before the actual Iraq war began.

Jon Bennett is a top Wall Street strategist turned senior White House advisor. But nothing has prepared him for the terror that he will face.

And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy - two senior White House advisors - find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: Is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?

A fast , fun Feist offering for Midkemia lovers..........2006-09-25

As others have pointed out, if you're looking for an epic saga, this book isn't for you; but for those of us who have fallen in love over the years with Midkemia and Feist's characters (as well as Rosenberg's) this was highly enjoyable reading.

I like any books with Kethol, Pirojil and Durine as characters. To me they are at times reminiscent of the Three Musketeers and at other times the Three Stooges. I find myself laughing at a lot of their antics, and setting them down in the middle of the Riftwar was a great idea for these two authors.

This book has been panned a lot, but I think the problem may be with younger readers who don't appreciate the subtlety of some of the humor involved. It takes a lot of nerve (and fortunately the authors had it) to begin a story with, "It was a dark and stormy night." Then you have the soldiers marching to the old tune of, "We are marching to Bosonia.."

Tho the murder is almost peripheral to the story, I think it also had a truly humorous twist. I don't want to spoil the tale for anyone, but when I learned who the real perp was, I realized that the authors had fallen back on the oldest and most hackneyed of solutions - and I think they did it on purpose. This will again provide a laugh for those who think about the household position of the villian. Just substitute in your mind another name for his job description.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to Feist fans.

A Big Disappointment for Riftwar Fans.......2006-03-30

While the other books in the Legends of the Riftwar Series are quite good, this one was very disappointing!!! I guess if you're into court politics and intrigue it may hold some merit, but talk about BORING for the Riftwar and Feist fan. Too many names, titles, etc made this very confusing to read. There was also, virtually no action! I've been reading Feist since the 70's and have anxiously awaited each and every book, but this one falls way short of expectations!!! Your $$$ is much better spent on Honoured Enemy or Jimmy the Hand in the Legends of the Riftwar Series!

Another Kethol, Pirojil, and Durine story.......2005-10-13

I did a search for Joel Rosenberg some time ago and came up with
Murder in LaMut as a novel he wrote with Raymond E. Feist. I checked my local library system, they didn't have so put in an InterLibrary Loan request and within a month a paperback from Queen's Park Library in London reached me.
This novel seems to be written more by Rosenberg than Feist though I haven't read much by Feist. It was good to see Kethol, Pirojil, and Durine back together again as in more recent Rosenberg novels some of them have been killed off.
Reading all of Rosenberg novels that I could find, it is interesting to see how the three mercenaries start as minor players and as the series progress become more major characters.
I have been going through some personal reviews of my own thoughts and find the musings of these guys occasionally inspirational.
Anyway, this is a nice novel. Sometimes seems a little pointless but does point out differences in what people of different socio-economic levels expect and actually get. The real scumbags seem to be amongst the nobility but some show decent traits.
The murder comes late in the book, Pirojil's empirical methods provide a likely murderer who gets killed after the accusation by another nobleman. The Purojil figures out who really did the murder and convinces him to suicide but first writing out a note of confession.
All in all, a good read!

Differant.......2005-08-21

This was a change of pace in the whole Midkemia/Feist story. A lot of Joel Rosenberg in this. I enjoy his Guardian of the Flame series, so I found his writing to be up to snuff. I didn't really enjoy the apparent transplant of 3 of his popular characters into the world of Mr. Feist. It didn't feel like a perfect fit. This is a decent read, but not up to the standards of the rest of the Midkemia novels.

Mystery in the Rift War.......2005-07-29

This book was definately of a very different flavour than the rest of Feist's novels, however I believe it definately worked. If you are looking for an epic volume in the grand scheme of the Riftwars then this book is not for you. However, if you have fallen in love with Midkemia and Kelewan and you want to explore nooks and crannies of these worlds then Murder in LaMut is excellent.

Rosenberg successfully exports Kethol, Piroji, and Durine from his Guardians of the Flame series and they are unlike any of Feist's normal characters. Most of the original Riftwar cast consists of nobles, Elves, and honourable folk. These three however, are only in it for the money. It is refreshing to realize that there are more than just despicable villians and honourable hereoes in Midkemia--we get a close view into the life of three commoners (albeit well traveled mercenary commoners ;-)).

Now that I think about it I believe I would have been disappointed if this novel had followed the usual Feist fantasy "formula" (not that his writing is truly formulaic) and been some sort of a grand quest. This novel was meant to be a divergent view into Midkemia and it succeeds admirably in my view. It isn't just the books that I enjoy, it is the worlds Feist has shown us and Murder in LaMut exposes an entirely new dimension of Midkemia.

One last point, the murder mystery proper doesn't show up until the end of the book--however I believe this is a mistake on the publisher's part when they wrote the description for the back of the book. Really this book is about Kethol, Pirojil, and Durine more than just the murder. Furthermore, the mystery may not be polished--but this isn't a world of precise police procedure, or modern investigative methods, and the three mercenaries aren't professional detectives. :-)

I would also reccomend The Empire Trilogy written with Janny Wurts for a similarly expansive and different view of Feist's world.

Book Description

In the seventeenth century, in an alternate universe where Mordred defeated King Arthur-now known as "Arthur the Tyrant"-and founded the Pendragon dynasty, much of Europe, Asia, and the New World are part of an Empire ruled from England. The Order of Crown, Shield, and Dragon, originally founded as Mordred's personal bodyguard, has become a legion of special agents for the Crown: special emissaries in time of peace, and invincible warriors in more violent times. They carry special weapons: swords, each of which contains the soul of someone of great power. White swords are inhabited by the souls of saints-and red swords by those who were anything but saints. Even in the hands of a knight of the Order, even wielded in the cause of righteousness, such a sword is terribly dangerous to its owner and all around him. In more evil hands, a red sword is the most dangerous and powerful weapon known to mankind. A single red sword can defeat an ordinary army. Last time, the Empire was threatened by an enemy with an arsenal of red swords. Though three knights of the Order were able to eliminate that danger, at a terrible cost, the Empire is not yet secure. An ancient witch, long thought to be dead, has been reported in Turkey, and the deadly creatures called darklings start to appear throughout Europe. And on the isle of Colonsay, Amadan Dubh, a deadly supernatural being also known as the Sidhe Fairy Fool, has appeared, sending the inhabitants into a frenzy of murderous madness. This time, courage and a strong sword arm, even when armed with a magic sword, may not be enough to save the Empire.

Book Description

When it all began, it was just supposed to be a game: seven college students sitting down for an evening of role playing. But a real wizard intervened, and the students found themselves in a world where magic worked-too well-and caught up in a battle between the forces of slavery and freedom. Years later, Jason Cullinane, son of the now-legendary Karl Cullinane, has taken up his mysteriously vanished father's role as baron when reports reach him of an attack in his realm by a wolfpack that seems to be more than an ordinary wolfpack. When he and his comrades investigate, they find a rift into the world Faerie from which evil creatures are entering the mortal world to kill and conquer. Cullinane now must not only battle his father's old enemies in the Slavers' Guild, but somehow defeat this powerful supernatural menace. And the greatest danger to the band may come from one of their own who has seemingly switched sides in the struggle . .
