Coming Soon

Thief in the Night by Enzo Silvestri

Where will you be when the world ends?
“Not the tank, but man will be victorious”*

When Effie’s fiancée is executed on the drug-ridden streets of Sydney, she holds God personally responsible, and cynically withdraws from her devout Christian life, turning her energies to teaching. Her colleague Rafi’s words seem laughable when he suggests to his Israeli friend Erez, a Lebanon War veteran, that Effie would be a good catch.

Neroux, with the ‘Gift of the Gab’ rose to the dizzy heights of President of the Union seemingly overnight. Were his DEFT and CP a breath of fresh air to a dying, starving world, or are there other, more sinister motivations to his schemes?

Destiny has the Aussies embark on an international whirlwind that reunites them explosively in Israel, and not just from the weapons.

* The author took the photograph of the book’s cover image while in Israel in 1986. It is a photo of the wall remaining at Dangur on the border near the Arab town of Rafiah after the destruction of Israeli Kibbutz Nirim by invading Egyptians in the War of Independence in 1948. It is now a memorial. The quote above is the translation of the Hebrew text on on that wall.
