Without Warning: A Novel

by Ward Tanneberg

An electrifying and heart-pounding drama, Without Warning offers a fresh understanding of a world that has irrevocably changed and how Christ can still make a difference in an age of terror. Ancient religious and political hatreds are manipulating the world around him, but living in terrorism's shadow is the least of John Cain's concerns. His marriage is at the breaking point. John is leaving his ministry. He plans to fulfill his promise to his daughter—a trip to Israel—and then, he's quitting. But when terrorists storm their church in California, launch a deadly unmanned airplane, and capture his tour group in Israel, John finds that his world is changed forever. The author's in-depth research with FBI counterterrorism, cyber terrorism, national security, and scientific experts give this book and extra edge of reality.

About the author

I’m a follower of Jesus, a writer, novelist, pastor ret. Went to school for awhile. Graduated a couple of times. Mentored some young people. Did other stuff, too.
I’ve been in vocational ministry for 59 years, an older version now of the kid God called out of generations of farming families into Christian ministry.
I have flunked retirement three times. I meet with business and professional guys in my living room on Wednesday mornings to talk about their spiritual journey.
My readers are my final “flock of sheep” (with maybe a few old goats thrown in).
I’m a widower with 2 married children, 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
These days, I write books and a weekly blog called PERSPECTIVE, about life as I see it.
From my youth until today, I’ve sought honest answers to three great questions:
1) who is God in my life right now?
2) who am I in this powerful new season of my life?
3) what shall I do with the years that remain?
Not your questions yet? Perhaps they should be.
If you wish to write, know I enjoy hearing from my readers, and do my best to answer every one. Email: ward@wardtanneberg.com

Reviews

[Jean · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m giving this 2 stars because I wasn’t able to finish it. I only made it about halfway through. It was well-written and interesting enough. My problem was the terrorist plot itself. Too much killing of innocent life for me. The last straw was a gang rape. Sorry, that’s over the top.

[Yenna Yeshua]

Wow! Absolutely one of the most suspense packed novels. You won't want to stop reading until the end.

Loved this book. Keeps you on the edge. Plausible plot for the times we are living in.
