Waltzing with the Wicked: Embracing the Darkness is a soul-bearing chronicling of the main character's struggles as he wrestles with the consequences of his unethical activities. This father of three was so captivated and seduced by the power the world of subterfuge and deceit granted him, he failed to acknowledge there were other elements in his life that needed attention. Before he has the opportunity to mend any broken fences at home, however, his world is forever knocked from its axis when his beautiful teenage daughter tragically dies. Overwhelmed with guilt and shame, he believes her loss was preventable had he been there for her. His mind is jolted from the brilliant lights of bright futures into the dark abyss of despair. Understanding that while God is a questionable entity, Satan is a tangible force evident in everyday life. Refusing to accept solace, he now embarks on a journey to find vindication and revenge and confront evil on terms only those who reside in the darkest regions of hell can fathom. Composed in captivating narrative and compelling dialogue, the story flows at a brisk tempo. Navigating the plot to a well-conceived and logical conclusion, the author could leave the reader with the sense of time well invested in the reading of this compelling story. It should be noted that this novel, although deemed as a work of fiction, contains some events that are based on actual facts, and the names of the characters are entirely fictitious. Dave Sheskin's highly creative style of writing combined with a keen attention to detail could further enhance the appeal of his work.

More About the Author
It was during the Six Day War of 1967 when the Jewish State was forced to defend itself against its hostile Arab neighbors. It was my decisioin to volunteer my services to Israel in order to help relieve the pressures of men and women having to go to war while all services to the young nation came to an abrupt stop. I volunteered to work on a farm for a while, and that ended when I met this young lovely blonde Sabra who did eventually become my wife and the mother of two teriffic children. As with every other new immigrant, I did my basic training, and shortly thereafter enlisted in the regular forces of the IDF. I served as a young officer in the capacity of Liason Officer to the the United Nations for two years, and was eventually scouted and recruited by a talent spotter for the illustrious Mossad. Having endured months of intensive training,I was finally dispatched to the European field of operations where my duties were to monitor the movements of the terrorist organizations in France. They had already drawn up plans to kill as many Jews and Christians as possible, and part of my job was to see that they didn't meet their objectives. Mossad, Cia and MI6 joined forces and gathered information that eventually led to the dismantleing of some of the Radical Islamist groups. My book 'Waltzing with the Wicked' is a fact based account of those years spent in Europe.It also tells the story about what a covert operative must endure in his personal life. Everything that is deemed normal for the average person is non-existent for an active operative. It takes its toll on the agent, his family and everyone else he once knew. Was it all worth the effort? Would I do it again if offered the opportunity? Those are two of the questions that I'm unable to answer. Still, I'm proud to have served my country and its citizens in such an esteemed capacity.

Waltzing With The Wicked,
By
This review is from: Waltzing with the Wicked: Embracing the Darkness (Paperback)
Super reading! A powerful book and page turner! I was amazed!
The author knows what he's talking about. David Sheskin doesn't fiddle around with words. He gets right to the point. Terrorism exposed in Leon Uris tradition--the author adds fact based knowledge to a fictional background. Getting right to the meat, Sheskin uncovers what the world governments and media have tried to conceal from us. This information is not candy-coated. It is to the point and real! A wake-up call to all decent people. Exposed governments and countries condoning terrorist activities is old news, but exposing their stratagies, tactics, agendas and targets has always been Top Secret. While weaving a web of lies to throw us off the track, these governments think they have us disarmed. Only the daring agents who chance to 'waltz with these wicked, have un-locked the doors. Sheskine has blown them wide open. The truth has been revealed. I underlined and marked pages--pertinent information--that I will re-read and ponder repeatedly. My conclusion? Our freedom 'is' in peril. Our religious beliefs and our rights matter not to hundreds of millions of extreamists waiting in the wings. They want, and are ready, to kill. Sheskin's book opened my eyes. I question if 'we' are ready to defend ourselves. "Waltzing With The Wicked," is a must read. I recommend it, if you will, for its insight; invaluable knowledge to the preservation of our families, our safety, and our freedom. Knowledge is power. Thanks to David Sheskin we now have that knowledge.

Couldn't put it down. Read Sheskin's books,
This review is from: Waltzing with the Wicked: Embracing the Darkness (Kindle Edition)
Waltzing with the Wicked was the second of Sheskin's books I've read and I can't wait for the third. Waltzing with the Wicked kept me so enthralled, my wife started to read it and we practically fought over who got to finish it first. I ended up taking the day off work so that I could read it thoroughly without missing an exciting event. He claims it's fiction. That's likely to 'protect the innocent' (and not so innocent). There are many events which you'll remember from news reports which make it all the more realistic and exciting.
I've never written a review before, but couldn't resist not saying anything. If you like excitement, drama, love and humor, this book is well worth more than its purchase price. Grab it and see if you don't agree.
