First published 2013
David Shirazi has penetrated deep into the Iranian government when Israel strikes first. The attack destroys Iran's nuclear facilities and eliminates six warheads, but David's intelligence reveals a terrifying truth: two weapons escaped destruction and vanished into hiding. The Twelfth Imam demands total retaliation against Israel while President William Jackson considers backing UN condemnation of the Jewish state. Missiles rain down on Iranian territory as David and his team race through hostile terrain. Multiple governments grow suspicious of American operations, turning allies into potential enemies. David must locate the hidden warheads before they detonate, but time runs short as the Middle East edges toward catastrophe. Every hour brings the region closer to nuclear devastation, and David's mission becomes a desperate fight against an invisible countdown to disaster.
