The Harvest - Bill Greenwood - Bog

It's September in Iowa, and the changing of the seasons brings with it the time for the farmers to fill their granaries with the bounty of the rains of spring, and the heat of the summer. David Lichtman is in the November of his life. Having served the people of Israel since he was a young man, he has returned to Iowa to enjoy the quiet life on the farm where he was raised. Leaving behind a storied career in the shadows of Israel's wars, he also leaves behind his granddaughter and her two children and settles into a quiet life with his widowed sister in the home that she raised her own family in. Living together after decades apart, each of them must come to terms with the sacrifices the other has made for the family and for their heritage. On the outskirts of Beirut, a newcomer has risen to the top of one of the organizations dedicated to constant war with Israel. Revenge is on his mind. Revenge for a series of killings that wiped out the entire upper echelon of his organization over the course of a year. His desire for vengeance creates a rift in the group, and puts a young lawyer, Fareed Al-Nadoor, and his family on the run. For Fareed and Nadia, there is only one way to go- south into Israel. But first they have to help the Israelis find them.Events are set in motion, and lives are on a collision course. A former US Army Delta special operator, the former Israeli spy master, a Middle Eastern terrorist mastermind, and a big, hairy mutt named Bruno are all destined to collide on a coll night in Iowa. It's time for The Harvest.
