Product Description
For Jon and Erin Bennett, the world seems to be spinning dangerously out of control. A new dictator is rising in Iraq. China is making threatening new moves toward Taiwan. North Korean forces appear ready to strike south. Israel is feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple. Oil prices are surging. And in the wake of an horrific war in the Middle East, President James MacPherson's second term is coming to an end. Now the battle to succeed him is heating up into one of the most fiercely contested presidential elections in American history, and the Bennetts realize the stakes could not be higher. Who will lead a bitterly divided country over the next four years? What can the U.S. do to shape the new world order? And just what role--if any--does the U.S. play in the last days? As the presidential campaign narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic plot to assassinate one of the candidates--but which one, and can the terrorists be stopped in time?

 Great end to the Series December 31, 2008
I enjoyed the end to this series; but as others have said you definitely need to have read other books in this series first otherwise you'll be lost.
The book is written well and its characters are well developed; and there really are no lulls like in some of his other books. I finished it in ~6 hours, its a fun read and definitely worth the buy. I took a look at the negative reviews of this book; and none of them really point out a real flaw with the content or makeup of the text, just problems individuals take with its underlying theme. As free advice; if you cannot look at a Christmas tree in a public place without being offended you probably won't like this book (but should read it anyway.)
Dead Heat by Joel Rosenberg December 16, 2008
Excellent end to his series. Entirely too real to dismiss as possibilities in the end times. For those of us who believe his work is entirely plausible.
Dead Heat December 16, 2008
The final episode of the five book series does not disappoint! Again, the author gives the reader plenty to ponder without fear. I only wish I had discovered the series sooner. I think about the books almost daily as the headlines fit into the story lines, I think, well, no surprises in today's paper.
High Action, Killer Twists...can't put it down and can't guess the plot November 29, 2008
This author is just amazing. He has no problem killing off his own characters, so you don't know what is going to happen next. In fact, after a while, you develop this curiousity to keep reading just to find out what the next surprise will be. It's like M. Night Shamylan (spelling wrong I'm sure) in political and military fiction. I would say you'll be shocked by the end, but, by that time, you are so used to sudden changes that change your whole perspective that you no longer know what to expect. I read this book without reading the other books (and had no problem with it). Now, I want to go back and read the earlier stuff, even though I know SOME of the twists from those books, already.
Cannot put this book down! November 22, 2008
Love all of his books! I cannot put this book down! This one is keeping me up WAY too late at night! Content is disturbing because it really COULD happen...
