About the author

Amir Tsarfati was born in Israel and has lived there most of his life. Since fulfilling his mandatory service in the Israeli Defense Force, he has continued as a major in the IDF Reserve. Amir has been a tour guide in Israel for the last twenty years, and served as chief tour guide of Sar El Tours and CEO of Sar El Tours and Conferences. In 2001, he became founder and president of Behold Israel – a non-profit organization which provides worldwide real-time access to reliable sources of news and information about Israel from within the powerful context of Bible history and prophecy.

Amir is married to Miriam, and together they have four children. His home overlooks the valley of Megiddo (Armageddon) which is a constant reminder of the call that the Lord has placed on him to teach from the Bible what God’s plans are for the end of times.

A great Christian thriller ala Joel Rosenberg...I will definitely read more.
Nir Tavor is an Israeli secret service operative turned talented Mossad agent.

Nicole le Roux is a model with a hidden skill.

A terrorist attack brings them together, and then work forces them apart - until they’re unexpectedly called back into each other’s lives.

But there’s no time for romance. As violent radicals threaten chaos across the Middle East, the two must work together to stop these extremists, pooling Nicole’s knack for technology and Nir’s adeptness with on-the-ground missions. Each heart-racing step of their operation gets them closer to the truth - and closer to danger.

In this thrilling first book in a new series, authors Amir Tsarfati and Steve Yohn draw on true events as well as tactical insights Amir learned from his time in the Israeli Defense Forces. For believers in God’s life-changing promises, Operation Joktan is a suspense-filled pause-resister that illuminates the blessing Israel is to the world.

For being labeled as a thriller, it didn't particularly deliver, tbh. Plus, having an entire page dedicated to the triple-column cast of characters immediately sounds the alarm that it's gonna be a confusing book. (Let's be honest, who *actually* wants to constantly flip to the front of the book for a reminder of who everyone is? It detracts from the story, tbh.)

However. I did enjoy the plotline, and the characters. The book itself just fell a little flat for me.

I follow Amir Tsarfati on telegram
Ps Jack Hibbs USA 🇺🇸 introduced Amir to me initially. Reading his books has taken me a bit of time to get around too

First one down.
It definitely keeps you hooked, I found myself speed reading through sections / chapters, to see what was about to actually happen.

Great ending- all is well in the world.
Loved the Jesus message.
Does Nir and Nicole show up in the next book?

This exciting story kept me engaged with the characters, the action, and the emotional reaction to the life threatening situations they experienced. It also provided informative insight into the conflicts and players of the middle east nations and tribes. Waiting with anticipation for the King of Kings to sit on the throne and bring peace eternal.
