while Teddy Kagan unearths a natural purple heifer at the Florida ranch of a televangelist, he is aware (because he understands Scripture) that he has chanced on step one in a plan conceived by way of an alliance of Israeli correct wing settlers and Christian Zionists to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem which was once destroyed through the Romans and thereby (as the Israelis see it) placed Israel lower than rabbinical rule and pace the go back of the messiah. The Christians do not care in regards to the rule of the rabbis; they suspect the rebuilding of the Temple will set off the bloody finish of Days, the destruction of all unconverted Jews and the instant warfare of Armageddon and the second one Coming of Christ.

But the plan calls for the destruction of Islam's holiest shrine, raised at the web site of the destroyed Temple, and will result in a nuclear Holy War.

And it really is Teddy's activity to prevent that from happening.

Fantasy? No. The plan is admittedly lower than approach (you can stick with its path at tenthcow.com.) The 10th Cow, turning the Left in the back of sequence on its head, takes the tale to its limits, tracing what has already occurred, and what may take place, via a super forged of characters in Israel and the United States. upload polo, Kabbala, the yank President and a few unusual relationships into the combination, and also you get a wealthy Hiassen stew of romance, satire and suspense - and a frightening examine what may well develop into an important occasion of our time.

A graduate of Columbia collage and Harvard legislations tuition, he practices legislations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Florida. He used to be a founding member and the lyricist of the rock staff "Ten Wheel force" and produced a number of early disco hits. He lives in Wellington, Florida, the place a few of this e-book is set.

"The 10th Cow pulses and performs with the realities of latest politics whereas it explicates arcane elements of conventional theology and legend. there's a international of studying during this booklet, in addition to a high-speed experience. The narrative attracts and redraws a bright map of Israel, Jerusalem specifically, in following the trail of its characters. Schefrin is masterful in making modern Israel come alive, in addition to its tortured earlier and threatened destiny.

"Essentially, The 10th Cow is a provocative “what if” tale, a wealthy stew of attention-grabbing elements that shocks readers with the information that its premise isn't really as far-fetched as one may perhaps in the beginning think. Kudos to Aram Schefrin for cooking it up."
