Israel's spy masters awaken their prime minister to a human rights nightmare: rapid population growth will give the ultra-Orthodox control of Israel's parliament in the next generation. The Mossad and Shin Bet covertly recruit the secret secular scion of a powerful Hasidic rabbi's hidden affair, offering him a startling proposition, a daring gamble, and a risky gambit to transform that future. A well-documented tale of predictive fiction, the novel sounds the alarm on Israeli domestic issues stemming from an imperious religious orthodoxy that rides roughshod over human rights while threatening Israel's economy, security, and the nature of the Jewish State. Written with ingenious use of Jewish tradition and literature, the plot moves across 100 years into the near future, leading to a breathtaking surprise ending. The Mossad Messiah challenges the soul and ethic of Israel and of Jewish people everywhere. | The Mossad Messiah by Leigh Lerner, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
