Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
by Net Galley and Tyndale.
Scary how close to the truth Joel R. might be to world events.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Rosenberg did not disappoint.
I love Joel Rosenberg’s books. I can’t put them down. His timing is eerie in light of world events today
Loved this book!
I love all of the books written by Joel Rosenberg. He is very up on the political scene of today and brings high adventure action to his stories.
Joel Rosenberg does a great job spinning a tale and capturing your interest. Lots of action.
Wasn’t what I was expecting from this author.
If you haven’t read the first book in the series, The Kremlin Conspiracy, you might be missing a thriller that continues in book two, The Persian Gamble. The action begins right where the first book left off, basically Marcus Ryker free falling out of plane in order to avoid being killed. Oh, there is more to it, but you have to read The Kremlin Conspiracy to catch up on what occurred before that moment aforementioned!
Marcus is a man who is in international airspace, running for his life while trying to save two people. The problem is that he has a host of people from more than one nation wanting to capture him, including the United States. Joel Rosenberg has again written a suspense-filled novel that pits many leaders from a host of different nations that are trying to dominate all other world powers.
Marcus Ryker is fighting time and government bureaucracy as he tries to thwart Iran from getting nuclear missiles from Russia. Plus, he has a man from Russia who knows who all the players are including North Korea, and where the nuclear warheads are heading. As I read, it seemed that there was someone from the United States who was leaking information that caused the demise of good men fighting evil.
There is tension throughout the book, and it would take pages just to fill you in while trying not to spoil your enjoyment of the story if you haven’t read the books. The story includes spies, armies, nuclear warheads, characters that are fighting evil and those who are perpetuating it! I mean it is thrills from beginning to end. I wondered often how, and if, Joel was going to save Marcus Ryker from demise in some of the most gripping conflicts in the book.
I hope you read The Kremlin Conspiracy and The Persian Gamble before the third book comes out in March 2020 titled, The Jerusalem Assassin.
The Persian Gamble by Joel C. Rosenberg is Christian Suspense Thriller Fiction. His newest book is my favorite in this series. The very first pages to the end have non stop heart in your throat action. What is the scariest part, as with all of his books, this story might be tomorrow’s breaking news. The story is told seen through a Christian perspective. If I didn’t know who is in control of this world I might be scared to death. Please keep writing, I’m ready for the next book. 5 Enthusiastic Stars
Another Rosenberg thriller taken from today’s (tomorrow’s?) headlines. Enjoyable and well researched read.
This was my first book by this author. Not too far fetched in many ways and I bet make some folks in the intelligence community a little uncomfortable.
I can’t praise this Novel enough – Joel is such a gifted Author, and each book he writes is beyond awesome. In my opinion, The Persian Gamble is his best work to date!!
Joel Rosenberg has produced another gem. This book is very hard to put down.
Rosenberg never disappoints. This book combined action, intrigue & world politics wirh a God-centered perspective.
Loved it! Couldn’t put it down!
A good plot.
A realistic look at what might or could happen in today’s world.
A true page-turner.
