Really enjoying this series. Certainly feels very relevant and realistic. I sometimes got confused whether events were from the book or from the newscast. ( )

Wow. What an incredible book.....this stuff is happening today in the real world. The last 100 pages fly by as the tension is unbelievable. I urge anyone to read the previous book and this book in this series. I cannot wait until next fall when the conclusion comes out. ( )

You can read my full review at Quieted Waters.

The Tehran Initiative was my introduction to the writing of Joel Rosenberg. Amazon’s author profile tells me that Rosenberg is the author of numerous best-sellers, that he has previously worked for high profile men like Rush Limbaugh and Benjamin Netanyahu, and that he has written for World Magazine and National Review. Because I am not familiar with any of that work, this review will focus only on what I found within this book’s four corners.

The Tehran Initiative is a fast-paced political thriller, following David Shirazi between America and Iran, as he serves as one of the CIA’s undercover operatives in the Middle East. David needs every ounce of determination and every bit of luck as he smuggles nuclear scientists out of Iran, ingratiates himself with the Iranian leadership’s inner circle, and throughout it all tries to keep his real identity hidden.
