Product Description
The stage is set for war. Oil prices are surging to record highs. A new dictator is rising in Iraq. China is threatening Taiwan. North Korean forces appear 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. Now as a fiercely contested presidential election campaign approaches, America faces its greatest threat ever . . . one from which it might not recover. From New York Times best-selling novelist Joel C. Rosenberg comes an explosive new political thriller addressing the question of what, if any, role the United States will play in the end times. This book is sure to provoke discussion and controversy, along with fervent hopes that this frightening vision of the future will not come true.

 Last in a series of 5 August 25, 2008
See review for Copper Scroll which is the previous book in the series. Highly recommend the entire series.
 Voice in the Wilderness August 18, 2008
Listened to this book on CD and was completely captivated until the last chapter. Last chapter was lame, left more loose ends than necessary, and the bad guys got away. Even if there was a followon tribulation series, I wouldn't open the first page.
Great!! August 16, 2008
Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!
Highly recommend Joel Rosenberg's books August 8, 2008
I actually bought this book for my wife as a gift. I have bought all of Joel C. Rosenberg's books as Christmas gits each year for my wife, but Dead Heat didn't come out until March of 2008. Joel Rosenberg is a master story teller. What makes his stories stand out even more is his overwhelming understanding of world events. As you read his books you wait with anticipation to see if what you just read appears in newspaper headlines and on the evening news tomorrow. I highly recommend all of Joel Rosenberg's books considering what is going on in the world today.
 Are negative stars possible? August 6, 2008

I have only myself to blame. Usually when I read an author for the first time I look at reader reviews, but for whatever reason, this time I did not. The end result is that I bought one of the least enjoyable books I have ever read. I found the writing style somewhat stilted, but I suppose that is a matter of taste. The real problem is that this is not so much of a story as a vehicle for proselytizing Evangelical Christianity. The ending (or really non-ending) is also absurd. The "good guys", i.e. those who have accepted Jesus as their personal savior, are suddenly zapped into heaven, leaving everything else unresolved.
