"Joel Rosenberg - Last Jihad 03 - The Ezekiel Option" - читать интересную книгу автора (Rosenberg Joel C)

as I threw my coat across the chair was not the proposal resting in my in-boxтАФI see those
every day. No, what grabbed my attention immediately was the title of the proposal: Left
Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days.
What a great title, I thought to myself. But can the content deliver? I jumped on that
proposal and pushed every button at our publishing house to get the deal done and the
book to market. The rest is history and still making historyтАФa series of novels that has
sold an astonishing 62 million copies and will sell millions more. The last seven books all
have been #1 best-sellers on the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and
Wall Street journal lists.
Why do I write this here? Because I want you to know, dear reader, that recently I
had a very similar experienceтАФa real deja vu. Not many months ago my fiction director,
Becky Nesbitt, sent me a proposal for a new novel by an author named Joel Rosenberg. I
walked into my office one morning and there it wasтАФsomething every publisher dreams
about but few get to experience, something I now believe can once again shake up the
publishing industry. This time it wasn't the title that caught my eye, nor was it Becky's
note that told me to lock the door until I'd finished reading the proposal; it was the
manuscript's first two sentences, which read:

Boris Stuchenko would be dead in less than nineteen minutes.
And he had no idea why.

What a great opening, I thought to myself. But can the rest of the book deliver? Deliver it
did! I sat down with that manuscript, and was instantly propelled into a ride I'll never
forget. Becky and I jumped on that proposal and pushed every button at our publishing
house to get the deal done and the book to market. Now it's your turn. Fasten your seat
belt because this is not just a page-turner, it's a page-churner. You'll chum through the
pages with the same heart-stopping intensity of viewing a great thriller movie for the first
time. When you get to the end, you'll be a different person than you were at the
beginning.
I have the same gut feeling about this novel as I did about Left Behind. That novel is a
thrill ride bringing to life the prophecies of the book of Revelation. The book you hold in
your hand is the same kind of thrill ride, but bringing to life the biblical prophecies
leading up to the events of Revelation. So turn the page, and enjoy the ride of your life.
Where you're going, there's no turning back.

 This book is dedicated to the Rosenberg family,
who escaped czarist persecution of the Jews in Russia
in the early years of the twentieth century;
and to my parents, Len and Mary Rosenberg,
who taught me by their love and example
the true meaning of faith and freedom.
