The battle to save Jerusalem-and the world-comes to a nail-biting climax in The Assault Begins, the final installment of André John Haddad's heart-stopping international suspense trilogy, The Jerusalem Cycle. The U.S. Embassy in Rome receives a call in the early morning hours. The voice on the other end of the line belongs to a ghost among men: he has no affiliation with any country, terrorist cell or religion. What he does have is a plan-one that could change the world forever. A few hours later, an explosion rockets the western coast of Italy; a warning for the intended target, Jerusalem. Louise Destrey and Cardinal Zimmer are relentless in their work to stave off the bomber's deadly plans, but time is running out. While Israel decides whether to vacate the city and other nations prepare for war, Destrey and Zimmer are forced to call on unlikely allies in their desperate mission to stop the bomber and his network. They are prepared to break every rule and compromise every value. The sacrifice is worth it, because if the bomber isn't found soon, Jerusalem will fall in less than forty-eight hours…and the rest of the world won't be far behind. If you like reading Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, you won't be able to put down this thriller until the very last page.
