Daniel Blum—scientist, soldier, father—thinks he knows his purpose in the random nightmare of life following the fall of modern Israel. Yet when a figure from his past appears, he must choose between between hope and truth, between comfort and redemption.

As he journeys through the ruins of his homeland, he confronts a world he longer recognizes, a place of physical and social disintegration. Torn between the bonds of duty and family, Daniel is forced to plumb the true depths of his loss and, ultimately, confront the unintended consequences of his choices.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a journey of understanding about denial, acceptance, and the tortuous path between the two, from the author of the award-winning, Amazon #1 Bestsellers Galerie and Moon Path.

“Ominous, thought-provoking, superbly researched and written... one of the most thoughtful and disturbing books I have ever read... the plot is impeccably researched, weaves and twists beautifully....” ~ Rebecca Rachmany

Review

"One of the most thoughtful and disturbing books I have ever read. A riveting novel that takes a hard look at the political, social and economic realities in Israel and asks -- what if the unthinkable happens? What would the Middle East look like if (when?) Israel is obliterated?" ~ Rebecca Rachmany "This is a thrilling and gripping book and quite frightening. I found the basic concept of the book frighteningly plausible. It's an uncomfortable book to read. Certainly it's memorable. Once I got into it, I was gripped." ~ BookWormNZ "Apocalypse - an earthquake - devastation - and the end of Israel. Survival and realization. I'm not going to reveal the story or the end (simply devastating) but I will say this: Enfold Me is well written. Enfold Me is a page turner. Enfold me is a disturbing, thought-provoking read." ~ Laurence E. Lipsher, Author --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Enfold Me by S. Greenberg

Greenberg paints a brutal picture of post apocalypse Irsael. Despite the violence and unnerving story that unfolds, the prose is deeply poetic. Enfold Me is thought provoking, chilling and exquisitely crafted. Looking forward to reading more from Greenberg.

A disturbing look at an all-to-credible dystopia

Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2016

Verified Purchase

Enfold Me is not a classic dystopian. By comparison, The Hunger Games and Divergent are mere Hollywood fairy tales—visions of a future world gone awry, with villainous powers-that-be and brave rebels fighting to make things right. This book goes far beyond such dystopian adventures, chronicling the devastating effects on a single person caused by the utter collapse of his society. The result is a dark, disturbing and all-to-plausible look at how fragile our comfortable western civilization might be, and what effects its collapse might have on our humanity.

Enfold Me is also not a classic psychological or political thriller that races from scene to scene until the bad guys lose. Yes, the latter third of the book is a page turner with shocking scenes and an ending that will surprise. But this book is mostly a gut-wrenching tale of a man whose all-too-familiar family and professional life is upended by the combination of a natural disaster and the insanity of fanatic politics. When his world goes insane, he struggles to survive, to cope and ultimately to decide what is moral, when all sense of morality had disappeared.

This is a well-written, powerful, and disturbing novel, uncomfortably close to reality. It’s the kind of story that will stay with you long after you’ve finished.

"Israel is...No More..."

Reviewed in the United States on 4 December 2012

..Devastating..
...Stunning...
....Unforgettable....

"Israel is no more"...

"What? Impossible!"

I can imagine talking to Judith Stitzel or Enid Portnoy on the WVU campus...both professors and my friends. What could I say to them? I realize nothing--but I could hug them...and hold them as we cried...

So I would have also if I had met Daniel Blum, the main character. He, too, was an American, but he had relocated to Israel when he married. He was there during The Fall...

By the time you read this novel, and I hope that you do, you will not be able to tell whether the destruction you will read about was done by the earthquake, or by the military actions that immediately took place... by neighboring countries of what was once called...Israel...

Daniel Blum knew only that he could be thankful that his home still stood, even though there were no working utilities. Daniel was the type of guy that had puttered around at home and he had installed solar panels from which earlier he had even sold electricity he did not use. Now, he used it secretly, at odd times, so that "they" would not realize that he had access to his computer. He had finally gotten email back up to go out at least, so he spent time writing to his children and his wife who had gone to America until they could come back--if they ever could.

He had been on his own for about a year now, but was helping with the resistance, routinely providing reports after watching...

[Let me stop here a minute to share that I read the ebook version of this novel. Sometimes this makes it harder to fully pick up on what is happening, since there is usually no blurb of the contents provided. And since you can not easily go back and find a certain part to better understand...So I will say that I had a little confusion when flashbacks started...I beg you to work to pick up what is somehow diluted when ebook formats limit effective, easy exploration of a novel.]

It was a familiar face, therefore, that appeared at Daniel's door one day. Nobody had knocked since before...The Fall...

George Farrah and Daniel Blum had been involved in a horrible event on the college campus where they both attended.George was a man of action, of controlling a situation. Daniel cared, but was not quite as prepared... During a race-related incident, a young girl had been killed. George had been involved in calming the situation but Daniel had also--George had accused Daniel of causing the death...

Now he was here, explaining to Daniel that he represented the group who would make all arrangements to get him to the United States. Daniel was having a hard time even trusting George, and certainly didn't want to travel with him!

Readers should be prepared to experience the devastation, the fear, the anger of war, especially when those who have invaded act brutal, having no limits in what they are willing to do. Even the gangs which had been active in Israel, now were leaders in acting freely and openly to rob and kill their former neighbors--all with the help of the Egyptian government representatives who had claimed they had come into the country to help... of course, expecting to be paid for their efforts.

Witness those who come to claim the materials brought by UN workers and must fight each other in order to keep from starving...

Now George wanted Daniel to come with him, through all the dangers of escaping without being killed or captured. But, Daniel kept questioning, not completely trusting anybody...

The stunning ending will show why...

This complex life story must be absorbed in toto. Daniel had experienced much early in his life that led to his eventual PTSD-like nightmares and other symptoms. Flashbacks to the harsh realities of dealing with white supremacists had never left him. When it extends beyond into something far worse, then is when you will finally come to know Daniel Blum. The psychological suspense is slow and prodding, so be prepared to meet Daniel on his terms, in his life, as he understood it...

An amazing story, if you dare read it...

Ominous, thought-provoking, superbly researched and written

Reviewed in the United States on 10 June 2012

Verified Purchase

One of the most thoughtful and disturbing books I have ever read. A riveting novel that takes a hard look at the political, social and economic realities in Israel and asks -- what if the unthinkable happens? What would the Middle East look like if (when?) Israel is obliterated? Seen through the ideas of a survivor and key operative in the Israeli resistance, this riveting tale of survival, suspense, and counter-espionage will keep you on edge. The plot is impeccably researched, weaves and twists beautifully, and gives ample pause for thinking about the long-term implications of the state of the only democracy in the Middle East. Important as well as entertaining reading for anyone who cares about the present and the future of Israel. My only hesitation about this book is there is too much unnecessary backstory before the plot really gets going. I recommend rapid skimming of the backstory; you can do without it and still get all the main points and follow the plot.

Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2012

Highly recommended! I like to read thrillers and spy novels - Grisham, Le Carre, and even the occasional Kellerman. Once in a while I'll read a more serious novel too - they're good and make me feel like I didn't waste my education. Anyway, "Enfold Me" is all of these put together, and put together well. It is definitely a political thriller with a fast pace, but it also slows down here and there to make a point or paint a more complete picture. For example, in chapter 2 the author's description of the summer heat, and of the despair of one of the characters, has stayed with me for weeks. I can literally feel that heat on the back of my neck.

Does the book have a message beyond the thrills, action, and fine literature? Yes, but I'm not sure I wanted to hear it. Let's just say that our lovely lives aren't as secure as we'd like to think. The events in "Enfold Me" are very plausible, and that's a bit scary no matter what your politics are. I'm sure the author will get all kinds of flack for what he wrote, but maybe people should stop and think first - what he wrote could really happen. And it could happen tomorrow.

Who will like this book? Anyone who likes political thrillers will enjoy this. But I would think that people who like more serious novels will also appreciate the characters and their very real and desperate lives. The choices these characters make `ring true'. Anyone interested in the Middle East, its politics and people, owes it to himself to read this. As I said at the beginning, highly recommended!
