Overview

THE JIHAD'S MESSIAH (JIHAD SERIES BOOK I)

In a future when world power has shifted to the Middle East, and the Arab nations have signed a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, a radical Iraqi leader-known as Al-Mahdi, "the Awaited One"-rises to power promising to convert the world to Islam.

Major General Farid Zadeh is Al-Mahdi's most loyal follower and the next in line to become the Full Army General of Iraq-until he is falsely accused of being an Israeli spy. Determined to vindicate himself, Farid flies to Jerusalem to spy on the Israeli military.

But before he can return home with the intelligence, the peace treaty is broken and war breaks out between the Arabs and Israel. Now he must run for his life, as both armies consider him their enemy and want him dead. Help-and perhaps redemption-come from unlikely sources: a stunning Jewish woman and a Christian prisoner.

When his faith and his loyalties are tested, Farid must decide which side to take.... His decision could alter the course of Man's final war.

Meet the Author

Nick was born in the late 1970s, in a bustling city in South America. He wrote his first short story in third grade about a explorer lost in the Amazon jungle, then discovered Jules Verne during sixth grade and was hooked into fiction for life.

After graduating from journalism school, Nick moved to the United States to continue his education and write about science and faith issues. He worked as a science writer for several years until he gradually found his way back into fiction. He is the author of the historical mystery The Gentlemen’s Conspiracy.

Nick now lives on an island in the pacific, in what can be described as a writer’s paradise.

Thrilling!

In Jihad's Messiah, Farid must battle a dangerous political adversary, growing spiritual battles, and a romantic interest he didn't see coming. As he tries to survive the changing climate and rising violence, Farid begins to reconsider the God of his heart. The question arises-can he survive the journey through that discovery or will the tumultuous landscape kill him first?

Nick Daniel's builds a fast-paced thriller through one man's experience in the tumultuous Middle Eastern world of 2019. Jihad's Messiah is a can't-up-down read that will keep you breathless as you flip the pages furiously.

Intense

Brace yourself for an impact. The clever beginning sets the tone for the rest of this book. You will not be disappointed with how Nick Daniels uniquely portrays this end-time thriller. Intelligent, fast-paced, and gripping, it'll keep your heart racing as the plot thickens and intensity boils. The author's comfortable familiarity with Biblical truths, as well as geographic locations, languages, and customs of the Middle East, make it impossible to miss a single beat of suspense. With eloquent word choices and striking sentence structures, this is, for writers-a novel you'll wish you had written, and for readers-a novel you'll never want to put down. Raw realism and political bravery truly set The Jihad's Messiah apart from other novels pertaining to the rapture, antichrist, and apocalyptic end of days. The forbidden and unlikely relationships involving Muslims, Jews, and Christians were psychologically captivating, especially between Farid, a commander in the Islamic army, and Taliah, an Israeli Jew. Even the graze on the Ark of the Covenant makes me wonder how Daniels will incorporate it into the rest of the series-fascinating! As a Messianic Jew, I found every ounce of this book enthralling. Get it and read it.

A-MAZ-ING!!!

Okay, moment of shocking honesty here.when I first started this book, I didn't expect I'd like it. Nothing personal about the author, mind you. I was sure Nick Daniel's writing would be fabulous and the story solid in plot and morals and all that. It's the genre that kind of threw me. End times thriller? Yeah. Been there, done that. I read all the Left Behind series, so count me out. Wow. Was I ever dead wrong. Not only is the writing stunning, beautiful and so tight you can hardly breathe, but the action-fan-freaking-tastic. The Jihad's Messiah has some crazy kind of magnetic action. I was totally sucked in. In fact, I had to duck a couple times and then do a double-take to make sure I wasn't bleeding. Seriously. Nick Daniels takes an action/adventure scene and tosses the reader into the midst of the chaos. What I found to be most interesting was getting inside the head of a Muslim character. Two, actually. The protag and antag are both devotees of Islam. Being an American Christian, this was a completely foreign and interesting point of view, sometimes alarming but all the time intriguing. Now then, besides the spectacular writing and story, there's something even better to rave about.the message. There's a ton of Biblical truth in this tale. Not beat-the-reader-over-the-head kind of Bible thumping, but heart piercing, soul wrenching truths that are interwoven so deftly, I wouldn't hesitate to hand this to a staunch skeptic. The Jihad's Messiah is the first in a three book series. When the next installment comes out, I'll have a whole new attitude about cracking it open. In fact, I think I'll be ordering pizza delivery for din din that night because there's nothing going to stop me from reading it cover to cover in one sitting.
