"Suspenseful, thoughtful, provocative, creative." A fast-paced techno-thriller based on front-page headlines!
When Israeli Army Lieutenant Doron ben Avrahim, a U.S. citizen with dual citizenship, travels to Israel to fight terrorists to avenge the death of his parents, he is captured in Iran near the shores of the Caspian Sea. While he is held prisoner, lightning strikes the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, something that's never occurred before. A storm follows, one that frees Doron from his prison, and the lieutenant-along with Nadina, a traumatized eight-year-old Iranian girl-is taken to safety by an Israeli helicopter. The U.S. military debate: Who or what has directed this storm: Israel or God? Doron assumes Nadina's parents are dead and he and his fiancée decide to raise her, hoping to bring the girl out of the autistic-like state caused by her painful past. But Nadina's mother is alive and intent on rescuing her, as two cousins are secretly plotting to murder the "defiled" girl who's lived in the home of an Israeli. They all share one desire in common: to kill the Israeli Army Lieutenant. Set in the near future, A Divine Wind takes on a largely unexplored subject as Israel attempts to use "weather control" and neuroscience technology to deal with an increasingly bellicose Iran, whose actions are seemingly, inexorably heading the world towards Armageddon. A cyborg, mental telepathic communication, how to tame and turn a tornado; just some of the visionary science to feast on, flavored with a sprinkling of Kabbalah, Jewish mystical wisdom. A seat at the table has been set, awaiting you to dine within the pages of A Divine Wind.
"A Divine Wind by Norman M. Jacobs, MD, MS is a fantastic and fast paced novel that I enjoyed reading. This enticing thriller blended politics, military, espionage, romance, faith, science, fantasy, humor, religious extremism, and more. I loved the brilliant plot, exceptional character development, and realistic storyline... Norman is a gifted storyteller that spun this story with unpredictable twists... The history lessons from Israel to New York, Iran, and the Middle East also captivated me. Generations of Jews went through hell. I wish for a world where love and value for human lives are the only religion. Thank you. Norman."

"A Divine Wind by Norman M. Jacobs MD, MS is a technothriller that will keep readers glued in their seats until the last page is read... Author Norman M. Jacobs, a physician/scientist builds his plot on a most intriguing premise: the ability to alter weather patterns and control specific storms at will. The theoretical science, including its eventual and significant butterfly effect, develops in a most fascinating and approachable way, leaving readers imagining the likelihood of such a tool's viability in our world today.
A Divine Wind begins at a heart-pounding thrilling pace, as any technothriller should. Jacobs then weaves historical events into his characters' lives, bringing depth and empathy for what shapes their actions...An intelligent techno-thriller that won't leave you even after the final page is read. Highly recommended! 5 Stars. BEST BOOK"
---Chanticleer Book Reviews
"A Divine Wind is a complex story of politics, religion, and world peace...Many of the characters defy stereotypes... Doron and Nadina's journey through the story, and the love they share for one another also moves the plot steadily forward, and readers are rooting for them... The novel is also full of fun action scenes, such as the moment in which Doron and Nadina are attacked by Nadina's uncles, and they along with Saron, must fight for their lives."
