In 2029 the State of Israel will be Destroyed.

Near-future Israel’s society is threatened by evil earthly forces few comprehend and uncanny foes that may never be understood by the novel’s unique and unforgettable characters, which include:

David Baumann: Orphaned by sectarian violence, adopted by the country’s leading rabbi, recruited as an assassin by Israeli Army Intelligence. He has just eliminated a security threat and saved thousands of lives. But has he unwittingly set in motion an Apocalypse that will consume the Holy Land and possibly the entire world?

Lia Baumann: Bedouin Arab, Israeli citizen, she is a top computer expert and also David’s wife. What will she do to save her husband and everyone she’s ever known from ultimate annihilation?

Ellie Sato: The London Juggernaut’s top Lifestyles reporter has a yearning to cover serious news. Kurdistan’s independence in North Iraq is the breaking news opportunity of a lifetime. Will complications involving a mysterious American Green Beret officer send them both in directions they never dreamed?

Nearby Iraq is disintegrating; Jordan’s monarchy is toppling; generals in Iran and Turkey watch like greedy vultures.

The Jewish state is a military and economic powerhouse. But something deep within is broken. It will not endure the shattering brutality of the 96-Hour War.

From nuclear bunkers under the sands of the Negev Desert, to the modern concrete and iron walls of Jericho, to the very foundations of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, no one and nothing will be safe during The 96-Hour War.
