Publisher Description
With time running out to stop the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv, Dewey Andreas must defeat his most fearsome opponent yet. Off a quiet street in Brooklyn, New York, Israeli Special Forces commander Kohl Meir is captured by operatives of the Iranian secret service, who smuggle Meir back to Iran, where he is imprisoned, tortured, and prepared for a show trial. What they don't know is that Meir was in New York to recruit Dewey Andreas for a secret operation. Meir had been tipped off that Iran had finally succeeded in building their first nuclear weapon, one they were planning to use to attack Israel. His source was a high-level Iranian government official and his proof was a photo of the bomb itself. Dewey Andreas, a former Army Ranger and Delta, owes his life to Meir and his team of Israeli commandos. Now, to repay his debt, Dewey has to attempt the impossible ---to both rescue Meir from one of the world's most secure prisons and to find and eliminate Iran's nuclear bomb before it's deployed---all without the help or sanction of Israel or America (at the near certain risk of detection by Iran). Unfortunately, Dewey's first moves have caught the attention of Abu Paria, the brutal and brilliant head of VEVAK, the Iranian secret service. Now Dewey has to face off against, outwit, and outfight an opponent with equal cunning, skill, and determination, with the fate of millions hanging in the balance.

" Good read, although it's a bit out there as far as plot. Still, I read for entertainment and this delivers. (I've also read Power Down and Coup d'Etat and both are also good.) "

" This is the third of three books out and all are great! If you like Vince Flynn's books or Mitch Rapp or the Jasob Bourne books you'll love Ben Coes's Books. Go Dewey!!!!! "

" A bit too far-fetched for me. This guy is kind of like superman. I just find it hard to believe, which distracts from the book for me. I'll read more of his, though. He writes a lot like Vince Flynn. "
— Julie, 10/27/2013 -
" Not the best writer but I am a sucker for contemporary espionage and international intrigue. Can't help it. This one has lots of technical faults and immaturity. I still liked the story. "

" The best one yet! I definitely want more. Would make a great movie. "
— Latisha, 10/19/2012 -
" Fast paced political thriller. Somewhat formulaic and black-and-white. Not a bad read, just not my favourite type of book. "
