The Sword of God

Iran already has the bomb.

That is the secret suspected by Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Thomas Griffin in the absorbing political thriller, The Sword of God. Unfortunately, his concerns come on the heels of a dramatic U.S. first strike against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. No one, it seems, wants to hear that the raids were less than a brilliant success. Despite the warnings of his boss, Tom feels compelled to pursue his suspicions. Meanwhile, the collateral damage of a “surgical strike” threatens to spin quickly out of control.

Whether it’s the manipulations of an Iranian secret council, or the clash of personalities in the White House Situation Room, The Sword of God opens the door into the halls of power, only to discover their inhabitants lack the ability to control the cause and effect they’ve set in motion. Tom must transform himself from observer to player, working desperately not to be swept away by events.

The Sword of God, first published in 2010, has proven to be remarkably durable, as the same locations and threats continue to haunt the real world over a decade later. Time will tell if The Sword of God proves to be prophetic as well.
