About this book
Set against the backdrop of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, a spy thriller from a former U.S. Special forces and CIA operative.
When radical Iranian students seize the U.S. Embassy compound in Tehran and take over fifty diplomats hostage, the U.S. President has to negotiate with a government that wants only to humiliate the United States. When talks fail, the President must turn to the military to bring the Americans home by force.
As preparations are made for an audacious rescue, an American intelligence officer hides alone in a Tehran safehouse with a secret. He is protecting a powerful weapon known as the Perses Device, which is now at risk of being captured and employed against the United States. The Agency Director orders that it must be brought out at all costs.
But as a small American team clandestinely enters Tehran to lead the way for the rescue force, a traitor spills the secret and KGB Spetsnaz operatives begin their own search for the weapon.
At the last minute, one more American is added to the advance team—his sole mission is to get the Agency officer and the Perses device to safety.
When the rescue mission fails, only two Americans are left to run the gauntlet of enemy agents and get the weapon out. Getting in was easy . . .
"Gripping suspense, appealing characters, and an insider's familiarity with clandestine operations make [Stejskal's] realistic novels first rate spy fiction." —Paul Vidich, author of Beirut Station
"A brilliant, non-stop nail-biting tension-fest to its jaw-dropping finale!" —Michelle Medhat, author of The Trusted spy thriller series
