Book Description

December 10, 2005
THE WEAPON THAT CAN ALTER THE WORLD. A dark conspiracy stretches halfway around the world, putting national security at risk as two military men fight for control of the latest technology in global weaponry. John Clinton Chartier, II, the son of one of the world’s top armament engineers, has followed in his father’s footsteps. He is contracted to develop what will be the most technologically-advanced weapon ever—especially designed for the U.S. Navy. Bandar Abbis, an Iranian immigrant, is a Harvard-educated scientist with high-level military security clearance and access to the nation’s most sophisticated weapons. When the opportunity arises, loyalties to his homeland find him joining fellow Iranians in a sinister plot to steal the new weapon. Soon both men are engaged in a fierce battle for possession of the classified weapon that could change the course of history.

1.0 out of 5 stars unbelievably poor, December 11, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Iranian Deception (Paperback)
I barely made it to page 50. I have never, in my life, read such poorly constructed english. It was incomprehensible. Not sure what the author was trying to accomplish, but the publisher should lose his or her job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow starter., August 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Iranian Deception (Paperback)
A bit slow at first as well as convaluted yet the final 1/4 of the story proved to be the high suspense of Dan Brown. Glad I stuck with the story to it's conclusion. Being a retired submarine Sonar Tech made it all very believeable!

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Tech, Bad Writing, July 23, 2007
This review is from: The Iranian Deception (Paperback)
Credit is due for the descriptions and lore of the American torpedo and the operations of the P-3 Orion and the PBY Catalina, one of the unsung mechanical heroes of WW II. Credit is also due for the insights into the hearts and minds of the terrorist enemies of the United States that will not be found elsewhere. The story surrounding them is weak. The writing is the worst I have ever seen in a book,the worst. So poor is the structure of sentence after sentence after sentence and so clumsy is the vocabulary, that one would almost suspect that words and phrases were dropped during a bad digital scan of a manuscript. A hard read. I finished it only because I am ex-Navy and a military tech enthusiast. Others would not have the patience.
