ISAAC'S BEACON

In the tradition of epic novels like Exodus and Cast a Giant Shadow, ISAAC'S BEADON is a sweeping historical tale based on the real events of Israel's founding - bringing alive the power and complexities of the birth of the Jewish state out of the ashes of the Holocaust.

In the tradition of epic novels like Exodus and Cast a Giant Shadow, Robbins has created a sweeping, cinematic historical tale based on the real events of Israel's founding. His mastery of the historical novel brings alive the power and complexities of the birth of the Jewish state out of the ashes of the Holocaust. Massuot Yitzhak (Isaac's Beacon) is a small, vulnerable kibbutz on the edge of the Negev. Here, the lives of three memorable characters - an Irgun terrorist, a young woman farmer, and an American journalist - collide to shape an epic narrative of love, loss, violence, and courage set against the violent and ethically complex efforts to create a homeland for the Jewish people. Meticulously researched and closely based on actual people and events, ISAAC'S BEACON is the first in a planned series of Robbins's novels which will explore the tumultuous, complex history and lasting impact of Israel's creation. This and a second book are under contract; both are available for acquisition. Brilliant, unforgettable storytelling. New York Times bestselling author David L. Robbins has published fifteen novels which have been compared to the historical novels of Jeff Shaara and Stephen Pressfield. Robbins has been called "the Homer of World War II;" he is also an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and essayist, and has been named one of the "Most Influential Literary Artists" of the last fifty years. To name a few: War of the Rats, The Last Citadel, Devil's Ashes, Scorched Earth.
