Zero Hour

The Double Life of Mendy the Arab 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.
