The Last Aliyah

The United Nations resolution that changed Omri Zohn's life ricocheted across America and around the world. "The time for the hunters" of Jews has come. Activate the escape routes for the last aliyah, the final return of the God's chosen people to their homeland-if they can flee. This geopolitical action/suspense novel will awaken Christians, Jews and all righteous people to the perilous stakes being played out at the world's highest levels of government. The Arab-controlled United Nations passes a resolution banning Jewish emigration to Israel. The U.S. Senate votes its approval. Thus begins the illicit exodus of Jews from America over a modern-day underground railroad. Atop the American government's A List of Jewish VIPs who should be prevented from emigrating is Nobel laureate Dr. Omri Zohn of MIT, whose breakthrough research into affordable nuclear fusion is seen as critical to the nation. The Last Aliyah, or return of Jews to their homeland-"the only country in which they can defend themselves"-forges the story of the escape, against all odds, of Omri and four others. With DHS agents-using airplanes, helicopters, infrared-armed drones, traffic and security cameras and the Coast Guard-close on their trail, a modern-day Underground Railroad in Maine, prepared "for such a time as this," secrets the Jews through danger, intrigue and one last, glorious chase. Omri is a widower whose wife and daughter were killed by a bomb in a wedding in Jerusalem, his son and his family have moved to Israel, and he just learned his brother in Israel is dying of cancer. He wants to return to his homeland, but the U.S. government, the United Nations, and much of the world have taken the ultimate anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist stand preventing him. His miraculous escape confirms his faith in God and opens his eyes to the possibility Jesus is Messiah. A fellow escapee, Ethan Rosenbaum, starts the story as an agnostic, but things that happen just shouldn't, naturally that is. Among the "conductors" on the modern "railroad" are retired Red Sox hero Bunyan "Jacko" Jackson and Margaret Callahan, whose families have been intertwined since Margaret's ancestors helped Jackson's great-great-great-great grandfather Tice escape slavery to Canada.
