The Samson Option Paperback – February 1, 2004
Samuel Rosen passed from this life into the next with no struggle, no anxiety as the thin blade severed the artery in his throat . . . His killer calmly stepped back out of range of the spurting blood, wiped off his knife with a corner of the duvet, and whispered Allah akbar, God is great.
Far away in Bombay, Ari Ben Chaim learns that four people in his life have been murdered by unknown assassins his adoptive parents, a psychologist who treated him after he resigned from the Israeli army, even an old Englishwoman who had been his baby nurse many years before and Ari must find out why. He returns to Israel in search of answers, only to find more questions when he is kidnapped by a Muslim splinter group, escapes, and then is recruited by the Israeli intelligence service for a top secret mission into the heart of Iran s weapons program.
Meanwhile Lily, the woman he loves, waits for him in a remote Israeli village, where she tries to unravel mysteries of her own. What is the meaning of the words she discovered engraved on a stone in an overgrown convent garden in Jerusalem . . . and who is this Lord that her new friends worship? In The Samson Option, Sharon Geyer reveals worlds within worlds. The reader will glimpse ancient Biblical secrets against a backdrop of modern-day political intrigue, all the while hoping that our young hero and heroine will survive and be reunited. With her gift for action, dialogue, and description, Geyer gives readers a bird s-eye view of the landscape and people of the Holy Land, her adopted home.

Review
The character development is wonderful. The good guys are truly heroic and the bad guys are so bad they're venomous. This is a love story. It's a murder mystery. It's a story of political intrigue and spiritual awakening.
