The Last Jihad Reading Order

Joel C. Rosenberg writes political thrillers set against real-world geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and beyond. His debut novel, The Last Jihad, was written before the September 11 attacks but depicted a plane-as-weapon scenario that drew widespread attention upon its 2002 publication. That timeliness became a hallmark of his fiction — his plots frequently anticipated or mirrored actual world events.

Rosenberg has published four thriller series across more than two decades, each following a different protagonist through escalating international crises. He has also written non-fiction on Middle Eastern politics and religion. His books have sold millions of copies, with readers drawn to the combination of fast-paced thriller plotting and Rosenberg’s knowledge of the political and religious dynamics of the region.
