His marriage in tatters and his career ruined by lies, Diplomatic Security Service agent Brian Mullaney is at the end of his rope. Banished to Israel as punishment by his agency,
he's assigned to guard a US ambassador and an insignificant box. Little does he know that this new job will propel him straight into a crisis of global proportions.
Inside the box is a messianic prophecy about the fate of the world. And a dark enemy known as The Turk and the forces of evil at his command are determined to destroy the box, the prophecy, and the Middle East as we know it. When Ambassador Cleveland gets in the way, his life and his daughter's life are threatened--and Mullaney must act fast.
Now agents of three ancient empires have launched covert operations to secure nuclear weapons, in direct defiance of the startling peace treaty Israel and its Arab neighbors have signed. And a traitor in the US State Department is leaking critical information to a foreign power. It's up to Mullaney--still struggling with his own broken future--to protect the embassy staff, thwart the clandestine conspiracies, and unmask a traitor--before the desert is turned into a radioactive wasteland.
Fans of Joel C. Rosenberg, Steven James, and Ted Dekker will relish the deadly whirlpool of international intrigue and end-times prophecy in Ishmael Covenant--and will eagerly await the rest of this new trilogy.Read an excerpt from Kregel by clicking here!

My Thoughts:
This is definitely not a book I would normally read, I am more into romantic adventures, but this sounded very interesting. This story starts off a few hundreds years ago and revolves around two prophesies concerning the end of the world. My attention was certainly piqued at that beginning. How important are these prophesies and who would be interested in them, enough to kill, is revealed throughout the story and in present times.
With the backdrop of history, the author takes us into a fictional account of certain countries who want to take over the Middle East and raise one of three ancient empires. This was certainly a political drama as all the key players and countries were moved around on a power "chessboard" of certain ruthless men.
I liked that the author gave us a time and place as each scene changed. It helped keep the story in perspective with less confusion and also gave a bit of a thrill as it heightened at least my anticipation like a ticking time bomb. This is just the first of the series, I found the way history was tied into this story fascinating and I am curious where the next book will take us.
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
