The Jerusalem Cycle - A Political Thriller About a City On the Brink of Disaster

The Jerusalem Cycle: The Gathering of Heroes, Villains & Oracles, is a political thriller of a novel based on the problems that currently affect the ancient city of Jerusalem today. André John Haddad writes about the present turmoil in Jerusalem and what might happen if the city isn't saved from itself.

Haddad's new novel is the story of Hedrick Zimmer, who at 88 years of age is closing in on the end of his life - but before the chapters close, he wants to help save his beloved Jerusalem from the dire future it faces if predicted events aren't prevented from happening.

Zimmer, together with the son of an old associate and a woman who could have made him forget his vows to the church, begin a mission consisting of clandestine operations designed to deter cataclysmic events that could lead to the downfall and certain destruction of Jerusalem.

Louise Margoe Destrey helps Zimmer recognize "hot-zones" of violence, such as the Congo, Brazil, Colombia and the Middle East. Destrey is head of a Boston consulting firm that puts together a group of professionals who are adept at predicting the future - and together they will present Zimmer with the stunning results of what they've discovered.

Zimmer realizes that the predictions from Destrey's group are real threats and wonders if any type of political influence, money, diplomacy or even military intervention can prevent them from happening and destroying Jerusalem.

The plan that Zimmer devises is unique and just might work if he can quell the mindset of millions before the clock runs out and it's too late. The Jerusalem Cycle will keep readers frantically turning pages to find out if history can be changed and those in power can come to an understanding that will save Jerusalem.

As a cleric, André John Haddad was always interested in Jerusalem from a historical point of view and its "central role in the world's existence." Recent past events in the Middle East makes Jerusalem's future even more perilous and Haddad realizes that unless a medium is found that can change mindsets, Jerusalem's future could be disastrous.

What will be said about Jerusalem in the future? No one really knows, but the fabled city and how it has affected the history of the human race is significant and incredibly interesting. Jerusalem lies in a region filled with turmoil and strife and is at a crossroads of its future.
