The Third Target: A J. B. Collins Novel by Joel C. Rosenberg
4.0
I loved the suspense in this book -- there was constant action, constant intrigue in foreign policy, and so much of it mirrored what's actually happening in the world. Though ISIS has taken a different road in reality than when Rosenberg was writing this book a year ago, his vision feels very true-to-life. I loved that amidst the fictional characters he placed the actual King of Jordan, Abdullah II, and through him taught a lot about the political importance of Jordan in the Middle Eastern balance. The other characters were well-written, even though the American president comes off looking like a naive coward.
Rosenberg's books are published by Tyndale house, which automatically identifies them as Christian. Some of his titles have felt overly preachy, and some are a bit too focused on end-days prophecies for my tastes, but this one had a great balance of modern war and politics and spiritual soul-searching.
And talk about a cliff-hanger! I will be reading the next book in this series shortly!
