Historical events serve as backbone for The Horns of Moses

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 21, 2008 – Jewish suicide bombers go into Palestine and Lebanon to target Arab terrorists in an act of revenge! No, this is not from today’s headlines, but instead from David H. Brandin’s political thriller The Horns of Moses. Brandin builds a controversial storyline around his protagonist David Green, who wants retribution for his son’s murder some thirty years earlier during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

The moral dilemma that Green, an elderly American Jew, offers his longtime friends is not without debate since they must ask, is murder always unacceptable or sometimes justifiable? Green reasons that if they can recruit terminally ill Jews willing to make their final moments on earth count, the friends’ acts are defensible. However, the follow up question the friends must ask is, do they want to take the risk involved since Green needs their help to satisfy his revenge?

Intrigued by the Middle East chaos, specifically the Arab-Israeli conflicts, as well as his desire to write about his wife’s miraculous Holocaust survival, the author utilizes his background in computer science, military research and world travel to implement actual historical events that serve as backbone for The Horns of Moses. It is fiction at it’s most intriguing, but offers believable events—some that might have triggered a Palestinian Civil War and that could affect any persons involved in the centuries-old conflict.

Brandin has taken a story of vengeance with a unique premise and turned it into an action-packed thriller that displays his knowledge of international settings and the Middle Eastern dilemma. This book keeps the reader in suspense from chapter to chapter. –Louis Fried, author of Other Countries/Other Worlds
