The Last Jihad series of novels feature Erin McCoy and Jon Bennett, two of the American president’s closest friends and the shrewdest operatives on Wall Street. The series of novels begins with the two friends preparing one of the biggest project ever brokered. They are preparing a secret billion dollar oil deal that will bring together the Israelis and Palestinians, in what could be the basis for a historical peace treaty.
The first novel in the series sees the world of Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy change in an instant when the president, their best friend is the target of an assassination attempt. It is not long before terrorists fly a kamikaze mission into an American city after hijacking a plane. Meanwhile, the Israelis foil a nuclear attack and in the process learn that New York and Washington could be the targets for the next terrorist attack.
Now the United States is embroiled in a war with the Middle East in a bid to get rid of weapons of mass destruction and root out terrorism. It is a war that will likely change human history forever. It is an amazing story that demonstrates Joel C. Rosenberg’s terrific skills in combining political intrigues and terrorist events to write some of the most enthralling historical political thrillers that have been compared with the work of brilliant writers such as Tom Clancy.
