This dystopian novel asks what may have occurred if we insert two very passionate and driven fictional characters into the national narrative after the January 6th Capitol attacks. Unwilling to tolerate the push back of “anti-lifers” and “anti-democrats” against the country’s struggle with COVID and Trumpism, Congressman Jim Depich and college student Mary Lou Kramer thrust America into a violent and retributive spiral that dismantles science and democracy in an effort to rescue them from perceived foes.

In part two of the trilogy, Yadel travels through Jewish history from the Middle Ages to the present as he and Yoshen struggle to market their new Hanukkah holiday and fight off Simon and his zealots in ancient Rome. With humor, love, and nail-biting drama, the adventures of Yadel, Yoshen, and Clausius continue where part one left off, bringing listeners into the origins of Judaism and Christianity little known to most, the wars and struggles that shaped both faiths, and the fictional flare of time travel.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book because of its mix of humor, Jewish history, and pathos. The narrator of the audiobook has a wicked sense of humor but is also able to convey vast swathes of Jewish history with poignancy - the pogroms, the othering, and the sufferings and tribulations, as well as the rise of zealotry and how it destroyed the Jewish people and drove them out of their own land.
