A timely, high-stakes military page-turner.
Long-hidden secrets unearth a lifetime of struggles and ruin for a young woman in Rogers’ poignant debut novel. Esther, a stunning and brilliant American with an engineering physics degree, has her world turned upside down when she meets a mysterious Iranian man on vacation. He reveals that her real family resides in the Middle East. Soon, Esther loses her job and is deported to Iran. As resentment towards her former home grows and tragedy strikes, she becomes entangled with a terrorist group plotting an attack on the United States. The intricate plot grips the reader from the very first page. Rogers, with his experience in naval intelligence and combat control, delves into the gritty realities of covert operations: clandestine meetings, alliances forged in the shadows, agents living double lives, and terrorism. The vividly described Middle Eastern landscapes and arsenal of weapons add a sophisticated layer to this military thriller. And through it all, Esther’s personal struggles bring a human element to the story. Exhilarating and poignant.
