Publisher Description

Iran is much closer to having operational nuclear weapons than the CIA believes, and Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has a plan. With twelve nuclear warheads mounted on twelve missiles, he will make Iran a martyr nation; then he will lead the world’s Muslims in a holy war against the nonbelievers. However, the Americans have a secret weapon in a group of Iranian dissidents, including a brother and sister determined to avenge the death of their beloved grandfather at the hands of the religious police. They are funneling information to Tommy Carmellini. They want to stop the attack before their leader launches a new world war. Will the U.S. government believe the information they are providing, and can the Americans prevent the Israelis from taking matters into their own hands, which could prove disastrous?

"This book was written in 2009. On the first page Publisher Weekly states: "One can only hope the U.S. president, the head of the C.I.A., and the Israeli prime minister will have this book on their nightstands for easy reference in case fiction turns to reality, an all-too-real possibility as evidenced by recent headlines." Fast forward to the current year 2012. Some of the fiction described here is now, in fact, reality - from the happenings in the Strait of Hormuz to Israel considering a preemptive strike against Iran. The suspense, as it's coincidental to current events, is hair raising. The drama occurs in the Middle East, primarily between Israel, Iran, and C.I.A. operatives stationed there. Detail describes the underground bunkers throughout Iran and the lengths their leader will go to gain the world's respect through the use of nuclear warheads. A gripping book when it was first published, a must-read in 2012."

    " A classic Coonts military/spy thriller that's a little too close to being ripped from the headlines. The threat if a nuclear Iran scares me even more than before. "

    " Iran, Afganistan, Pakistan and all the other stans are hot topic for spy fiction. This one is a thriller from begining to end. The spy in Iran, Tommy Carmelinni, does not get into to much trouble this time even though what he does is risky business. Under the direction of Admiral Jake Grafton everything flow developing in the neutralization of the nuclear warheads and the organization of a new goverment in Iran. "
