Book Description

December 22, 2008
Iran is building nuclear weapons - every objective observer knows that is true - and the leaders of Iran promise to use them to wipe Israel off the map. They say America, their Great Satan, is next. Although time is very short, it is still not too late to stop the terror masters of Tehran without our soldiers putting their boots on the ground. IRAN COVENANT is a novel, but it shows exactly how to do just that. About the exciting story, George H. Wittman, columnist for The American Spectator, says: "Iran's willingness to use any weapon to defeat the US and Israel is deadly accurate - more than many Washington insiders are willing to admit. IRAN COVENANT is an action-filled, technically accurate novel - or a knowledgeable scenario on which a plausible intel forecast could be based. Either way it's a ripping yarn. Chet Nagle knows well his covert weapons systems, and the men who run them."

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping Story Well Told, March 27, 2009
This review is from: Iran Covenant (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frighteningly accurate, January 7, 2009
This review is from: Iran Covenant (Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Page-Turning Thriller, June 11, 2009
This review is from: Iran Covenant (Paperback)
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.
