Zero Hour: The Double Life of Mendy the Arab

by Rachel Schorr

For twenty years, his life followed the regular path of a frum boy, from home to cheder to yeshivah and then, suddenly, everything changes…
Plucked from the security of the only world he knows, Mendy Brand finds himself confronted with the secrets of his past, as well as the perils of his future. Try as he might, he sees no way to extricate himself from the storm in which he now struggles to survive.
Played as a double pawn in the hands of two enemies with opposing goals, Mendy ultimately confronts what it means to live as a Jew – and to die as one…
Zero Hour Part I will rivet you from the very first chapter right up to its shocking conclusion.

When an ordinary yeshiva bochur discovers he was swapped from his Arab family as a baby, he's thrown into existential confusion and chaos. Playing right into the hands of the plan masterminds, he questions his real loyalty and is pulled into a sickening terrorist plot. When he finally pulls favors at the Mossad, no one knows what side he's on, and it might be too late. Zero Hour and Zero Limit are chaotic and horrifying, as we see no way out once identity and family become weapons.
