Twists and turns abound in this novel as Mr. Rosenberg takes the reader into the clever minds of good and evil men. No Shortage of Evil is a five star book of the highest caliber.

| Review of "No Shortage of Evil" If you love intrigue, mystery, power struggles, murder and greed then this is a story that will fulfill all of your expectations. FBI agent Corbitt and his fellow agents are involved in solving what first appears as a simple murder. They are suddenly swept up by a series of events that seem to indicate a far more sinister and greater evil than first imagined. From the United States Senate and to the office of the President a theory is revealed of a terrorism with far worse consequences than the mere death of citizens. The details and eventual solving of this mystery along with a love interest makes this a most fascinating book to read. David Rosenberg writes beautifully, he has a gift for writing with a clear and convincing style of his own. His imagination, along with his high technical knowledge along with that of the FBI inner workings is such that you cannot put this book down. As I read the last page I did so with the hope that this was only the beginning of many books to come. This is a must on anyone's reading list. Anne Lebrecht, Author, Discoveries of a Hidden Past |
| David S. Rosenberg's aptly named novel, No Shortage of Evil, is a fast paced geo-political thriller that will keep you awake at night. Join FBI Special Agent Donald Corbbitt, to connect the threads of evil together, that include terrorists threatening millions with dirty radioactive bombs, and through bribery and deceit force a major corporation into bankruptcy, threatening the fabric of America. Mr. Rosenberg is a master story teller, but more then that, he develops his characters both physically and psychologically in such a way that puts the reader in their body and mind. Add his grasp of technology, politics, business, and human nature, and you have the essence of No Shortage Of Evil, a soon to be bestseller. Betty Fasig, Author, Wooffer: Stories You Can Read to Your Dog (and Other Children) Mr. Rosenberg has done an excellent job of weaving the highest degree of espionage with romance. Characters, FBI agent Corbitt and his love interest, Jocelyn, are working undercover and see a plan of high-level corruption within our government officials unfold right before their eyes. The story is achingly true as it shows how those who are not in power, e.g., Margaret Jensen, and who are ultimately used by those in power, take revenge and, in this case, the outcome is murder. It is also a book that provides an inside view of what can happen when we lose sight of morals and responsibility to those less fortunate. The book offers many plot twists and makes one think about the use of high-tech equipment by high-ranking officials. In this case what was used for evil turned into something to be used for good by the team assigned to solve the senator's murder. Although the book is fiction, the author's settings in Washington D.C. and New York City give it a non-fiction feel. The book is well written and a page-turner, and is highly recommended for reading pleasure and for those who love espionage. Reviewed by Cindy Williams Newsome, author of Hobbstown No Shortage of Evil, by David Rosenberg The opening chapter of “No Shortage of Evil” grabs you by the seat of the pants and draws you into a web of of terrorism, political intrigue, big business and murder by assassination. Add a sprinkling of romance to a cast of characters that come to life under this author’s pen, and you will be asking for the next installment of the trilogy as I did. The protagonist, FBI Special Agent Donald Corbbitt, is a brilliant mixture of Baretta without the Cockatoo, James Bond without the gadgets, and the humor and wisdom of a well-dressed Columbo. The only reason anyone would want this book to end is the knowledge that it will be followed by two more installments of the series—Infusion of Evil and Extension of Evil. I can hardly wait! by Phil Whitley, author of "Keechie" THRILLING! Reading David Rosenberg's 'No Shortage of Evil' is rather like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel-- once you've started the journey there is no turning back. All you can do is hold on tight and let the story take you where it will. And wa-hoo, what a ride! The characters in this novel came alive for me from page one, particularly the story's hero, FBI Special Agent Donald Corbbitt. The reader can only follow with rapt attention as Corbbitt unflinchingly stands up to corporate giants, outfoxes corrupt politicians, and thwarts the plans of terrorists. Indeed, Special Agent Corbbitt is as tough as nails... until it comes to Jocelyn Hafner, the beautiful, classy, Communications Specialist who captures his heart. Rosenberg's precision of words, realistic descriptions, and fast-paced writing style make 'No Shortage of Evil' a thriller of the highest order, with just enough romance sprinkled in to make the ladies happy. Though the epilogue leaves the reader with the unsettling feeling that forces of evil remain at large in the world, thankfully, Corbbitt and company will live to fight another day. I, for one, am looking forward to accompanying these characters into whatever thrilling adventures Mr. Rosenberg has in store next! Reviewed by M. Jean Pike FBI Special Agent Donald Corbitt's life is as bleak and empty as the apartment in which he barely lives. Confronted with a corporate scandal, a series of murders, and bomb threats, Corbitt is forced to examine terrorism in all of its forms, and also to reconstruct the thoughts and actions of killers in order to anticipate their moves. And, yet, despite all of this, our hero seems to have the blanket of hope pulled around his shoulders. As he discovers new clues about the evil which surrounds him, Corbitt also manages to meet, and become interested in, his colleague Jocelyn Hafner. This sweet relationship provides a contrast to Corbitt's professional life, causing him to contemplate the recipe for the delicacy known as "Happiness Soup." This perfectly spiced dish is one that keeps our hero, and the reader, from falling into the dispair that would cloud the minds of most people. Debut author David S Rosenberg tackles several difficult subjects in his post 9/11 world of terrorists and federal agents. This wild ride of suspense is tempered nicely by humorous and even romantic moments that are masterfully woven into the plot. Although he has an unmistakable talent for plot creation, it is Rosenberg's characterization that shines through the entire novel. This nail-biting adventure is full of people that the reader is sure can be touched, if only one could reach into the pages in order to do so. I found myself not only seeing these people in my mind, but hearing them as well. Getting lost in this book is a must, and I look forward to reading the sequel to "No Shortage of Evil". Amey S Tippett, author of 'Alison's Journey', 1-4137-4007-3 David Rosenberg has written a story stripped from today’s headlines. “No Shortage of Evil,” is a tale of political corruption and corporate greed. Common Cause, a huge corporation, has been forced into bankruptcy, causing jobs to be lost and thousands of dollars to be stolen from investors and employees. Donald Corbbitt, FBI agent, enters the case when someone assassinates a US. Senator and he soon discovers there is a link between the senators death, and the investigation into Common Cause. During the investigation, someone begins systematically slashing the throats of the company’s high-ranking executives. Add to that, the fact that Donald is a man falling in love, and you have the making of an exciting story. It is the classic tale of good verses evil, and if you are watching your newspaper today, you only hope there are a few men like Donald Corbbitt left in this world. The story is well written, filled with suspense and mystery, and his characters are believable. I would put “No Shortage of Evil,” up against any book in its genre. . Donna Thompson, author of, "Plot Twist" No Shortage of Evil, In this turly outstanding geo-political thriller, Rosenberg uses his storytelling and writting skills, which have been tempered by yeaars of successful service in the nuclear industry, to create a book that you will not want to put down. He uses solid family morals, political deceit, and international intrigue matching today's news. Combining these unikely bed partners, Rosenberg weaves a narrative account that produces a respectable fear in the reader. When I finished the book, I was anxious to read more about Agent Corbbitt's next adventure. I enjoyed his writing style, always keeping me on edge, not knowing what to expect.

| Review of Infusion of Evil From the prologue to the very end, the reader is on the edge of their seat. Mr. Rosenberg's novel takes us from the plots of the terrorist's attacks against the United States, to the actions of retaliation against the terrorists. Not to be intimidated by the U.S. actions, the terrorists continue with their hideous plan, using nanotechnology. They employ the help of their colleagues around the world, setting in motion a terror unknown to mankind. Nanotechnology allows terrorists to produce miniaturized robotic ants filled with deadly venom. After several failed attempts on targeted victims, they increase the frequency of attacks, turning them loose in various locations across the United States. There is one man who is relentless in his investigation, FBI Agent Donald Corbbitt. Agent Corbbitt is close to the President, who admires his courage and commitment. After the FBI Director becomes a victim to one of the ants, Agent Corbbitt is at odds with his superior, who could be the next FBI Director. Undaunted, he will not give up, knowing that at any time he could be fired, Agent Corbbitt is dedicated to finding the source of the ants. David Rosenberg has written an amazing novel in which he tells a story of what could happen unless terrorists are stopped. He has written with such realism, leaving the reader wondering about all the modern technology today and how beneficial it may be. I would highly recommend David Rosenberg's, Infusion of Evil,, as a must read for anyone. Barbara Foster, Author, The Lewis House Saga |
| Review for Infusion of Evil Once again, David Rosenberg demonstrates a brilliant writing style and a vivid imagination in his latest novel, Infusion of Evil. The intrigue begins as FBI Special Agent Don Corbbitt is instrumental in foiling a terrorist attack at a 4th of July celebration in New York City. Later in a news conference, the President of the United States exposes this attack to the American people. In retaliation, he tells them that he has ordered a missile, with a nuclear warhead, launched at a country that seemingly, sponsored the aborted attack. Lastly, he puts the rest of the world on notice that if they strike out at this country he will not hesitate to loose the nation’s entire war arsenal against them. Agent Don Corbbitt is now under direct orders from the White House to diffuse this situation before the president’s threats have to be implemented. As these malicious attacks, executed by high-tech, robotic terrors, continue, they appear to be unstoppable. They home in on you, me, and the President of the United States. No private citizen or high profile target is safe. Who has the technology to build these devises of death and who has the money to finance such attacks? How can the government protect its people from an enemy that is beyond the scope of their top scientists? I highly recommend this exciting thriller to all readers. It’s a book that you will not be able to put down. Saundra Julian, co-author of, Goldie |

| Infusion of Evil |
 |
| Infusion of Evil by David Rosenberg When imagination and cleverness were handed out, author, David Rosenberg, must have gone through the line a few extra times. Infusion of Evil is a cleverly written political thriller with an imaginative story line unlike any other I have ever read. David has written a book with bigger than life but believable characters, a terrorist plot involving very small robots, a U.S. President many of us would vote in for a second term, and a couple of steamy love scenes. Once the reader gets into the story, he or she must read the book to the end, because the terrorist plot is one that seems to have no solution. Mr. Rosenberg's story takes the reader throughout the world, with names of characters to match every country they come from, and although there is a solution, there is room for a continuation of the story, a sequel that will probably be as exciting. Infusion of Evil is a well thought out and well written book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes unusual mysteries with complicated plots, and those interested in clever imaginative stories. Review by Carol Troestler, author of: Flow on Sweet Missouri |
| Position Twelve |
| Review: Position Twelve Position Twelve is a well written novel that takes one into the mind of a psychopath and delivers to the rest of us, clarity of a criminally insane mind. McFee is driven to extract justice from women he sees as users of men. Having ordained himself as law-maker, judge and jury, he applies high tech skill and knowledge to craft horrendous punishment—his latter victims to the point of losing contact with reality—different from his earlier victims who were killed and mutilated by his hands. The protagonist seeks out and finds his targets through Internet chat rooms. The realistic scenario is revealed and explored to a perfect point in terms of an appropriate look inside the body of knowledge of psychology. As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Rosenberg applies these explorations most skillfully in his text, at the just the right level. He provides the reader with dialog out of the mind that certainly does exist and did well in the novel to expose a warped mind. He also includes some factual information on how women are treated in different parts of the world—it fits the story surprisingly well and goes into McFee’s mindset as he seeks out those women of more privilege who he has judged has not lived as they should have. The tension Mr. Rosenberg creates early—a masterful prologue begins the window of a sick mind—continues throughout the work, making it an exciting book throughout and very readable. You want to read it. The pictures he paints of an underside of some women’s lives—and the rationalization McFee uses to justify his acts, took me into a realm of realism that was not only plausible, but starkly reminiscent of glimpses into the thinking process of real, known psychopaths we have seen caught and prosecuted. It is frightening but true there are many walking among us still—and who use the Internet. When I read Position Twelve I was struck by the lively, excellent dialog, the methodical approach to detective work and a great finish that was satisfying. Within the novel, conflict arises within the police department charged with solving mysterious deaths that included an after death removal of brains and organs—and one irony Mr. Rosenberg uses that I think is well placed is the fact the Mayor of his city is a woman—the evil that is Mcfee hates women although he claims he does not. Position Twelve is an engaging crime story—and different. Mr. Rosenberg’s applied creativeness and knowledge of computer hardware, software, psychology and physiology of the human body comes out but not in an overly technical way but in an understandable way—putting the reader first. He delivers a plausible story certain to cause one to read further and want more great books from this author. Andrew Huddleston, M.S., author, Heart & Iron |
| Extension of Evil |
| Review of: Extension of Evil, By: David Rosenberg Extension of Evil is the third work in a thrilling trilogy certain to create for the reader an equal level of deeply invested fear for the characters and country the first novels accomplished. This one delivers. Mr. Rosenberg’s development of the personalities in his novels is done in such a way to make them real—not merely characters created for the art. From the White House to the suburbs to foreign locations of importance, he provides a strong story of strategy, the fight, the chase, the political intrigue of domestic power, the machinations of a multi-national spy work, murder, terror and domestic political dirty tricks—with a bite in store for the procurers. Writing hard hitting dialog and descriptive action, Mr. Rosenberg provided me with a page turning, tantalizing adventure of the first order. His style put me in the place where the action was unfolding—throughout the book in ways I couldn’t predict but in ways that led me to the ending I might prefer rather than what he could have done. It was an experience and fun to watch as the story unfolded while being unable to anticipate where he was taking me. Mr. Rosenberg skillfully proceeded to dovetail all the action toward a great ending. He did it again as a master and made sense of several sophisticated, vibrant, credible, and concurrent themes within one plot. There is a political campaign and surprising results. “They’ll pervert what you say, twist what you mean, trash what is dear to you, and steal your visionary ideas for improving the country…” There are terrorists plotting to kill Americans, kidnap for demands and broker to release enemy combatants held after capture—all the while you know they want to kill again—more and often. There is a Kerri Dunn technique employed by political operatives who are willing to break the law, including murder, to ensure their candidate gains popular support. There are multiple protagonists who share a common trait of doing anything—for different purposes to meet their own goals. There are heroes—one or both we’ll have to see again—who work as agents for the C.I.A. and F.B.I. Their lives and style are parallel studies in effective intelligence and law enforcement. It is a great book that journeys through the dark corners of renegade politics and international terrorism—does so in a clear and understandable way—thereby respecting the reader. He accomplished the same while explaining several serious technologies—computer communications and others that could be used to destroy Mr. Rosenberg has written another novel dealing with complex issues—but friendly to the reader, engaging, hard-hitting, and plausible. The scenarios described through dialog and scenes are done as only a master novelist can do. I recommend the book as a well thought out intelligence, political and crime adventure. Andrew Huddleston, author Extension of Evil by David S. Rosenberg Review by Rebecca Buckley Hues of Ken Follet and Robert Ludlum are splashed throughout David S. Rosenbergs political palette of intrigue and suspense. From the opening chapter to the last, each page unfolds a startling story of international power and greed. Mr. Rosenberg has a unique ability to pull the reader into the time and space of his well-fleshed characters that loom as if in real, present-day life. From the mundane action of toilet habits (realism that one never sees in novels and movies), to loving family relationships, to murder and kidnapping, to the infiltration of foreign terrorism into U.S. politics and presidential campaigns, to the efforts of FBI and covert operatives preventing chaos, its all there, wrapped up in an explosive package labeled Excellent Read. What appealed to me most were the gentle, subtle nuances the author portrays between husband and wife, child and parent. I find this refreshing in a novel of such terrifying heights and horrifying villains. He has created a balanced blend of plot and people, which makes the adventure from beginning to end a pleasurable sojourn, in spite of its scary premise. In this novel, David Rosenberg opens up a can of worms on our present-day democratic elections, and makes one want to dive into the workings of the process, to question and investigate the rules, regulations, and candidates even more. What if the authors hypothesis happens? Has it already happened? What else must we do to protect and safeguard our system? Technology has certainly transported all nations to the feasible arena of incursion by terrorist clusters used by global billionaires of their own evil agenda. We can only hope we have a slew of agents such as veteran "Donald Corbbitt" and the young "Adam Buckner" to root out that extension of evil that pervades the world and puts our countrys values and its citizens at such high risk. I highly recommend this entertaining and revealing book and am eager to read the sequel. Mr. Rosenberg gives the impression of knowing what hes talking about. |
