David Lawrence-Young – Revenge: Served Cold After 738 Days Caged in the Gaza Tunnels
They Survived 738 Days In The Tunnels. Now Comes The Reckoning.
After 738 days caged in the underground tunnels of Gaza, four Israeli hostages are finally free. Avi, Benny, Charlie, and David meet up trying to return to ordinary life. But this is no longer possible.
Each man carries the memory of captivity, humiliation, fear, and the friends who did not survive. As they speak, one question begins to take hold: but what happens when justice is too slow and too distant?
Revenge: Served Cold After 738 Days Caged in the Gaza Tunnels is a gripping story of men who survived the Hamas tunnels and now plan their own reckoning. Their target: the Hamas captors who held them underground and shattered their lives.
Set in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks, this is a tense and provocative novel about trauma, loyalty, justice, the emotional cost of captivity and war, and the dangerous line between vengeance and closure.
Readers who are drawn to difficult questions – justice or revenge, punishment or closure, survival or transformation – will find this story especially compelling. This book engages readers with the painful realities of terrorism, hostage captivity, and the human desire for retribution.
The author, David Lawrence-Young, was inspired by the stories of Jewish revenge groups from history – from the ancient Sicarii to the post-Holocaust Nokmim – to write this novel.
