According to Stephen King, it's a scarier novel than anything Stephen King has ever written.

Led by Iran, five Arab armies win a brutal victory against Israel, which ceases to exist. Within a few hours, its leaders were rounded up and executed, the Israeli army crumbled, and the country's six million Jewish inhabitants were trapped in Tel Aviv, which became a starving ghetto. While the US and the West wait, Israel's enemies prepare to exterminate the entire population.

On the eve of the genocide, Tel Aviv makes one last attempt to escape. An Israeli businessman, a mobster, and a crossdesser fighter pilot put together a daring counterattack plan. Can they succeed?

The siege of Tel-Aviv stirred up storms in America even before its publication, the novel, accused of anti-Islamic bias, was eventually withdrawn by its publisher, who did not dare to publish it.

Hesh Kestin worked as a foreign correspondent for two decades. His topics included terrorism, arms trade, and espionage, among others.
