My review today is on the Christian International Thriller, The Persian Gamble. I know Joel is a best selling author and probably doesn't need my review but I love his work so I just have to share. I was thrilled when I was given this book as I usually can't afford to buy his work. I really liked in his acknowledgement when he talked of when he wrote his first book. He just wanted his parents to be able to find it. As an unpublished author I really appreciated that. We forget that great authors start out just like the rest of us. This is an awesome story right out of the newspapers of today. Needless to say it is well written, action paced, and full of intrigue. I know you are going to love it.
Ex-Secret Service Agent Marcus Ryker went into Russia to rescue and bring out a Russian mole, Oleg Kraskin. He has with him Jenny Morris from the CIA. Oleg is the son-in-law to the President of Russia. Oleg is concerned when his father-in-law is about to declare war on the United States and NATO. He contacts Marcus to give the Americans the information. Marcus comes to get him out of Russia but Oleg assassinates the President and his second in command. Marcus had told him how to do it and gave him the weapon. Jenny is wounded in the skirmish that takes place as they are trying to leave. They are flying over Russia trying to get to neutral territory. They bail out of the plane as Russian MiGs surround them and land somewhere deep in Northwest Russia. Now not only are the Russians after them but also his own people. America denies any link to the assassination. When Ryker calls for help they give the location of the phone to the Russians Jenny and Ryker watch as the snow plows where he hid his phone blows up. Ryker learns of the deal the Russian President has made with the North Koreans for warheads and that five are to go to Iran. He convinces the US to trust them and sets out to save the world.
This is a terrifying journey to find the madmen and capture the nuclear warheads before they can be used on the United States or Israel. They are taken into the middle east with Navy SEALS and Marcus' two best buddies. God has a plan and Marcus learns he must rely on the Lord if he wants to survive.
God has a plan for you too; a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him move in your world.
