Ebrahim and Azar’s world is shattered when they are accused of bombing an Iranian nuclear weapons lab. When Iran’s most top-secret research facility is sabotaged during the testing of a nuclear device, it made it a radioactive tomb for more than a hundred souls and inflicted a devastating setback to their nuclear program. All of the evidence points to the two lovers: Ebrahim an electronics technician within the facility and Azar, his girlfriend, a representative of a major supplier to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. With indications that the lovers received help from Saudi Arabia and Israel, the Muslim world teeters on the brink of chaos and a full-scale sectarian war. As Iran’s most feared Revolutionary Guard commander pursues the two lovers, they must escape using guile and deception. But the chase won’t be so easy. With the technician’s background as a former explosives’ ordinance expert and his girlfriend’s network of contacts as a black-market supplier to the Iranian military, they are dangerous prey. The perfect set of skills the Caliphate operative needed to set them up to take the fall. Add to that the carefully constructed links to Iran’s two most powerful regional rivals, it guarantees that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will ruthlessly hunt down and eliminate the threat. To avoid certain death, the lovers must expose information neither knew about the other and risk revealing secrets that could tear them apart.But American intelligence knows it was actually the brutal Islamic Caliphate and must act quickly to prevent the embers of war from exploding into flames that could engulf the world. For the Americans, the Caliphate has thrown the world into chaos at the implication of Saudi Arabia working with the Israelis. Stoking the flames of war throughout the Muslim world, the Caliphate has stretched tribal affiliations nearly to their breaking point. As America desperately works to prevent that chaos from exploding into global sectarian war between Sunni and Shia sects of Islam, they must make an agonizing decision. Do they tell the Iranians they’re chasing the wrong people? Who’s more dangerous, the Caliphate or a nuclear capable Iran?The problems for American Intelligence services mounts. The years of funding cuts of human intelligence has left them nearly blind inside Iran forcing them to pursue a high-risk operation. They must insert a highly specialized covert operations team into Iran to gather intelligence on the aftermath of the terror attack and secure the lovers before the Iranians. All while keeping the drumbeat of war at bay.The Persian Precipice erupts against a backdrop of Muslim tribalism and religious zealotry. Where the hunted and the hunters hurtle toward a dangerous destiny. Where the path to peace lies in America’s secret maneuvering to prevent a global sectarian war and the fearless courage of a covert operations team to secure the lovers first.
