The Siege of Tel Aviv by Hesh Kestin

The Siege of Tel Aviv by Hesh Kestin

Stephen King calls Hesh Kestin's The Siege of Tel Aviv scarier than anything Stephen King ever wrote. Iran leads five armies in a brutal victory over Israel, which ceases to exist. Within hours, its leaders are rounded up and murdered, the IDF is routed, and the country's six million Jews concentrated in Tel Aviv, which becomes a starving ghetto. While the US and the West sit by, Israel's enemies prepare to kill off the entire population.

On the eve of genocide, Tel Aviv makes one last attempt to save itself, as an Israeli businessman, a gangster, and a cross-dressing fighter pilot put together a daring plan to counterattack. Will it succeed?

The Siege of Tel Aviv is as as bizarrely funny as it is fast-paced. In the words of Stephen King: An irrepressible sense of humor runs through it. It's not satire I'm talking about--it's stuff like the cross-dressing pilot (my favorite character) and any number of deliciously absurd situations (the pink jets). It's the inevitable result of an eye that sees the funny side, even in horror. So few writers have that. This novel will cause talk and controversy. Most of all, it will be read.

For two decades, IDF veteran Hesh Kestin was a foreign correspondent reporting from Europe, the Mid-East, and Africa. His 2019 novel, The Siege of Tel Aviv--now again available--was pulped by its original publisher out of fear of Islamist furor. Stephen King called it scarier than anything Stephen King ever wrote--and then the fun begins as Israel fights back! A prize-winning earlier novel, The Iron Will of Shoeshine Cats, is set to be a 2021 television series. Learn more at heshkestin.com
