 Gripping Story Well Told Mar 27, 2009
By Catriona Erler
This action-packed story kept me reading. The character development is excellent, and the literary references add depth to the story. Can't wait to see the next installment of Jeremiah Adams' adventures.

Frighteningly accurate Jan 07, 2009
By Fierce Red Pen
"The Red Pen"
I've only read part of this during an informal writer's conference, but it was riveting in how close the author comes to the truth. Nagle really knows this subject and it shows.

 A Page-Turning Thriller Jun 11, 2009
By Mary Batten
"Author"
Chet Nagle has written a page-turner of a political thriller that is entirely believable. The characterization, including that of the villain, is excellent. In particular, the scenes between the two major characters, the American Adams and the Israeli Karlski, are wonderful, full of humor and fast-paced dialogue.
The torture scenes were vividly, nauseatingly horrible and I can't imagine anybody condoning torture after reading them. From that perspective, perhaps this book will help those who support the so-called "enhanced interrogation" techniques realize they are war crimes and should be prosecuted.
The swiftly-moving plot propelled by its ticking clock is chilling. The author's expertise in the operations of the U.S. Defense Department and his insider knowledge of the Middle East convinced this reader of their authenticity. The subject matter -- US/Iran/Israel relations -- could not be timelier. One only hopes that the situation Nagle has fictionalized remains just that -- fiction.
This book cries out for a movie adaptation.

A "24" Kind of Novel Jan 25, 2009
By Fan of Middle East Thrillers
This is an action-packed and exciting novel. It has the expertise of the early Tom Clancy stories. I was impressed with Chet Nagle's detailed knowledge of munitions and bombs, but on the other hand, given his background, he would be expected to be an expert. The story moved as rapidly as a Daniel Silva novel, all of which I have found to be cliffhangers. And, for a change, this novel is not about Arab terrorists trying to kill Israelis and CIA operatives. The author has introduced Iran into the equation at just the right moment in time, even though I hope Dehesh is not a prototype for everyday Iranians. At a time when some may be going soft on Iran and its nuclear ambitions (I won't say who), this story snatches us back to reality. Nagle also paints a realistic picture of Israel and its players.
 A Thrilling Page Turner Dec 31, 2011
By Sonya Jefferson
This book made me hit my snooze button several times every morning this week because I stayed up too late each night reading. Nagle is a talented writer who presents a terrifying account of a scenario that is not beyond the realm of possibility. The memorable main character, Jay Adams, is the new Jack Ryan. Make sure you read Woolsorter's Plague, Nagle's first book, before you dive into Iran Covenant.
