Great Book- The Ezekiel Option

I'm reading this really good book called, "The Ezekiel Option", written by Joel C. Rosenberg. It's the third book in the series. The first two books were "The Last Jihad" and "The Last Days". They are ficticious books but are based on bible prophesy, centered on events that are happening in the world today. I don't want to give away too much that happened in the first two books, but at the point the third book starts, the US has gone in and ousted Saddam (by the way, the first book in which it happens was written before 9/11), a peace agreement is made with Israel and Palestine, and focus is now on Iran. The Ezekiel Option is based upon Ezekiel chapter 38 & 39 where it talks about Gog and Magog and the armies coming from the north to destroy Israel. There is a revolution in Russia and a man named "Gogolov", code named "Gog" takes over. He has plans to gain the favor of Europe (which is rather easily done), carve his way through the middle east taking control of the oil, and turn world opinion against Israel.

I'm a little over halfway through the book, which is getting better every page turn and I can't wait to see how it all ends up...so I'm off to read the next chapter! Have a good week everyone.

Ok David, You got me started on "The Last Jihad" and I agree, fantastic book! I'm looking forward to borrowing the next one from you. Being laid up does have a few advantages, I've actually had more time to read...
