With his hateful speeches, he has won the respect of Iran’s leaders—and has gained access to their secrets. Now he has learned a devastating fact: Iran has weapons grade nuclear material—and Israel is their most likely target. In order to prevent World War III, the CIA must take action from within. Agents Stills and Mackey are sent in to aid Bijon. But the mission is not merely to take out the nukes. They plan to incite an Iranian revolution…

Agents Still and Hollahan are on a special assignment—one that technically does not exist. They have little more than the name of the mysterious terrorist mission: Crescent Fire. Good thing these boys know how to work under pressure. . . .

China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei are all building artificial islands in an attempt to claim territorial waters.

Posing as Canadian oilmen working on an offshore oil platform, The Team is tasked with recovering two nuclear weapons lost almost thirty years ago when a US bomber went down. The problem?
