Existential Threat

A Novel Stein ordered his family to comply with all the kidnappers’ demands. “Lie down on the ground, and don’t try to be smart. Just follow all orders from now on.” He seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation after the shot that almost killed him. “Please … otherwise it won’t end well.” Prime Minister Uri Rosenblum, protagonist of Lethal Blow, is back and thrown once more into a tangled web of kidnappings, assassinations, blackmail, international intrigue, and political backstabbing. A secret team of former elite IDF soldiers is assembled to fight the wave of Arab crime sweeping Israel, but their actions have unforeseen—and unwanted—consequences. A fiendish plot to destroy the Jewish nation once and for all is being hatched by a collaboration between powerful political figures and salubrious underground characters across the globe, while within Israel, a senior member of the security forces is being blackmailed to betray his country. In this fast-moving, high-action plot, a colorful cast of characters moves across the stage creating chaos and confusion. Crime gangs, terrorists, Mossad double and even triple agents, international political figures, and Arab sheikhs all play their parts so that at the end of the day, no one knows who they can trust, and whether their close colleague is friend or foe. The plot takes the reader on an international roller-coaster ride, racing from the heavily guarded official government residences of Jerusalem to the slums of the notorious Arab crime city Umm al-Fahm, from sumptuous Saudi Arabian palaces to the gardens of the White House, from sleek skyscrapers in Dubai to the windswept Judean hills. Existential Threat is the second in bestselling author Yisrael Feller’s State Secrets series, following the wildly popular Lethal Blow. The series gives the reader a fascinating peek inside the turbulent and mysterious world of Israel’s political and security establishments.
