IT IS A SAGA THAT COULD BE...BUT WE PRAY WILL NOT! An international mystery incorporating the most feared threats facing the world today. Middle East unrest, ambitious nations, nuclear proliferation, corruption, greed and incompetence. Mystery, satire, James Bond type action and enduring love. “I laughed aloud, actually shed tears over the love story, was scared by the chilling possibility of the plot happening and was on the edge of my seat during the action. A fantastic blend of color and emotions. Bodell has outdone himself this time.” “…reading about a couple who are like Mr. and Mrs. 007 super smart and always covering all the bases is fantastic. It makes me feel like everything will be all right. I just have to cover all the bases. …the fact that they have been together forever and are still in love is an extra bonus. I must say that I sincerely hope that you are planning the next book, and the next book and the next book...” THE SAGA OPENS: In a private conference room, in the Iranian Presidential Palace, Vladislav Dubnikov sat across a beautifully inlaid conference table from Heydar Vahdani, the President of The Islamic Republic of Iran.
