The Ben-Ami Saga, a sweeping geopolitical espionage series that combines the elite Israeli tradecraft of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels with the gritty, generational tension of Fauda.

This trilogy explores the unwritten, behind-the-scenes history of the State of Israel. By following the Ben-Ami family across generations, the narrative serves as a meticulously researched epic that traces the internal fractures, traumas, and hidden operations that forged the nation, from its bloody inception to the explosive proxy wars of today. Through their bloodline, we witness the invisible hands that have steered history as it unfolds. While the series operates as a relentless, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller—anchored in the present by Eyal Ben-Ami, a lethal Shabak kinetic ghost, and Maya, the Unit 8200 cyber-architect behind the Hezbollah pager strikes—its true heart lies in the shadows of the past. 

The saga spans three interconnected volumes:

Book 1: THE ARLOSOROFF AFFAIR The foundational installment explores the bloody birth of the nation and the violent ideological schism between the socialist Labor establishment and the right-wing Revisionists. The modern espionage narrative is inextricably tied to the ghosts of the 1930s and 40s: the unsolved 1933 assassination of Haim Arlosoroff on a Tel Aviv beach, the deeply controversial Haavara (Transfer) Agreement with Nazi Germany, the catastrophic 1948 battles of Latrun, and the trauma of the Altalena Affair, where the newly formed IDF fired upon their own people, leaving a scar that still defines Israeli politics today.

Book 2: THE SHAMGAR RUSE Moving into the modern era, the second novel explores the tearing of Israel’s social fabric and the rise of the “deep state.” It transitions from physical battlefields to the silent, bureaucratic wars within the intelligence community. The plot hinges on the devastating fallout of unilateral political mandates and judicial weaponization, framed by the 1990 assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the polarizing 1993 Oslo Accords, the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the findings of the Shamgar Commissions, and the deeply traumatic 2005 Gaza Disengagement. As the establishment tightens its grip, conservative operatives are forced to establish shadow attachés to bypass their own government.

Book 3: THE DOHA LEDGER The explosive finale ties decades of global terrorism into the immediate fallout of the 2024–2026 Middle Eastern wars. Forced into exile, Eyal and Maya are hunted across South America by cartel-backed Quds Force assassins. The narrative weaves Maya’s origin story in the horrific 2011 Itamar Massacre with the legacy of the 1994 AMIA bombing and the 2015 assassination of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Driven by the real-world decapitation of the Axis of Resistance and the 2024 Hezbollah pager operations, the novel culminates in the discovery of the “Doha Ledger”—proving that Qatari dark money is not only funding the proxy wars, but actively bankrolling sleeper cells and violent provocateurs within Western academia.
