  84. Behold Israel

Second, we want to shine a light on the extent the State of Israel in general and the Mossad in particular have gone through to slow down Iran’s nuclear progress. To that end we have written in a genre that mixes real and fictitious events. What you read about the two Natanz attacks and the one on the TESA factory in Karaj is accurate. Both the vault heist and the assassination of Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh occurred very much as written. We only went off script when it was necessary to include our characters in the operations or when we needed to fill in holes that exist due to secrecy or a lack of information. The Mossad does occasionally make visits in order to strongly encourage foreign nationals who work for Iran’s nuclear program to upgrade their résumé and look for a new employer. The final operation is fictitious, but it is an example of what would be required should Israel determine that a great show of force was necessary in Iran.

Third, our desire is for the reader to witness the struggle and gradual transformation of a secular Jew from apathetic agnosticism to realizing that salvation is found through the true Messiah who has already come. Ultimately, the spiritual journey of Nir Tavor is similar to that of every person. We must recognize that all of us have sinned and that sin separates us from God. However, in His perfect love He sent His Son, Jesus the Messiah, to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus then rose again, opening the door for our future resurrection to an eternity with Him. There is nothing we can do to earn that forgiveness and eternal life. Thankfully, salvation does not come through works but is a free gift that is received by believing in Jesus Christ, inviting Him to become our Lord and Savior, and choosing to follow God with our lives. We trust that this truth will stand out above all others in this book.

Awaiting His return,

“It Was the Perfect Day—Until the Gunfire.”

“IT WAS THE PERFECT DAY—UNTIL THE GUNFIRE.”

Nir Tavor is an Israeli secret service operative turned talented Mossad agent.

Nicole le Roux is a model with a hidden skill.

A terrorist attack brings them together, and then work forces them apart—until they’re unexpectedly called back into each other’s lives.

But there’s no time for romance. As violent radicals threaten chaos across the Middle East, the two must work together to stop these extremists, pooling Nicole’s knack for technology and Nir’s adeptness with on-the-ground missions. Each heart-racing step of their operation gets them closer to the truth—and closer to danger.
