Description: Tehran, 1979. While the world's eyes are on the Embassy siege, one man has another mission--to retrieve a lost nuclear weapon.
Brief description: James Stejskal, after 35 years of service with US Army Special Forces and the Central Intelligence Agency, is a uniquely qualified historian and novelist. He is the author of Special Forces Berlin: Clandestine Cold War Operations of the US Army's Elite, 1956-1990; Masters of Mayhem: Lawrence of Arabia and the British Military Mission to the Hejaz; No Moon as Witness; and The Snake Eater Chronicles.
Review Quotes: "Mr. Stejskal has again woven a fast-paced, gripping, and plausible story of intrigue and danger. This time the backdrop to the story is the Iran hostage crisis of 1979. He has created a textbook clandestine operation involving a close relationship of US Army Special Forces and a clandestine CIA case officer. His characters are well-drawn, some clearly based on actual Cold War fighters, and leaving the reader to wonder how much is fiction and how much is fact."--Barry Broman, former CIA chief of station and author of "Risk Taker, Spy Maker: Tales of a CIA Case Officer"
