Hollow Strength

WILL THERE BE WAR BETWEEN THE US AND IRAN?

June, 2014. The world is shocked as Iran's newest and most powerful destroyer, the Shaheed, explodes and sinks on its maiden voyage, killing a full cadre of VIPs, including a dozen of the most powerful clerics in Iran. The ship's executive officer, Commander Mohsen Saeed of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, ashore during the explosion, frantically works to uncover the truth behind the sinking of his ship. Unfortunately for Saeed, learning that truth puts him and his family in grave danger; he is targeted by death squads who want him to carry the secrets he has unearthed to his grave. Meanwhile, accusations of blame for the sinking of the Shaheed bring the US and Iran to the brink of war. As the net of pursuit draws ever closer, CIA officers Joe Cerrato and Cynthia Banks struggle to get Saeed and his family out of Iran before they are caught and executed in cold blood. Full of authentic detail from an author who has served as a field officer in the Directorate of Operations of the CIA, Hollow Strength serves up a compelling picture of the Iran of tomorrow, and the perils of real world espionage operations.

Douglas Frantz, author of the bestselling "Nuclear Jihadist," and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee describes Hollow Strength with just two words:

"Eerily accurate."

Jeff Stein, author of “ A Murder in a Time of War," veteran Washington Post journalist and “Spy Talk” blogger, says:

“Art Keller has definitely been there, done that. As a former CIA operative in the agency division responsible for tracking black market nuclear weapons, he has seen enough to make his hair stand up straight permanently, and in "Hollow Strength" he'll make yours stand up, too.”

JM Le Duc of Suspense Magazine writes:

"In 'Hollow Strength,' Art Keller accomplishes two things: he tells a great story from the mind of one who has been in the ‘business,’ and he has an uncanny knack of letting his reader know what Iranian culture is truly like. The story begins with the sinking of an Iranian naval vessel by its own government and the captain who figures out the plan. “Hollow Strength” centers on the proud Iranian Naval officer who realizes he is being used as a pawn by the Iranian government and his attempt to bring his family to the United States and the two American agents who devise an intricate plan to try and help him.
There is a lot of background information in the beginning, but once the action begins it is non-stop. It is a heart-throbbing thriller that will keep you glued to the page. If you enjoy espionage and are into the U.S./Iranian political tug of war, Art Keller’s “Hollow Strength” is a no brainer. You will love it."

LAND WITH NO SUN: A Year in Vietnam With the 173rd Airborne (Stackpole Military History Series)
[Back from yesterday at #76. A book that has been on the list before. I am one of the guys who gave it a one star review. It is the kind of book I ought to like, but IMO it is just not very well written. I suspect VN vets who served in the same area may be able to get past the mediocre wiring and appreciate it more than I did. But, I suspect it will not be a general interest kind of book. As always, YMMV.]

Season Of The Harvest (Harvest Trilogy, Book 1) Back from yesterday at #80.

From the AR-15.com free book list thread.

Free Games on Kindle

Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, in an interview he gave in 2010, famously remarked, “The number one app for the iPad when I checked a couple of days ago was called Angry Birds—a game where you throw birds at pigs and they blow up.

[Its a short book according to the description and oriented to the Kindle Fire. My guess is you can safely skip this one no matter what based on reading through some of the reviews.]
