From Publishers Weekly
In the near-future setting of this pulsing techno-thriller, Iranian frogmen sink a U.S. amphibious assault ship. The Americans, in turn, destroy the oil facilities on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf. Iranian retaliation is spectacular: an elite commando force infiltrates the U.S.--first to raid the Marine base at Camp Lejeune, N.C., then to attack the White House and kill the president. So audacious is the plan that Richard Welsh, an obscure civilian in a marginal Pentagon job, is the only one to take the threat seriously. First novelist Christie tells an intriguing story in straightforward fashion, presenting Welsh as a conventional techno-thriller hero, the maverick ignored until almost too late. More distinctively, however, Christie establishes a convincing blend of religious zeal and combat professionalism in his characterization of the Iranians, particularly military leader Ali Khurbasi. The strike on Camp Lejeune is all too credible in its details, and the climactic battle for the White House is a genuine page-turner.

From Library Journal
An Iranian faction, frustrated by political efforts to persuade the United States to leave the Gulf, undertakes a terrorist campaign. Guerrillas enter the United States with the objective of killing the president, destroying the White House, and humiliating a nation they believe is the incarnation of Satan. Christie portrays the guerrillas as dedicated, highly trained, intensely religious soldiers who hold strongly to a faith and politics most Americans never bother to understand and therefore perceive as bizarre and irrational. Although he is occasionally preachy, Christie has written a serviceable thriller and injects a degree of humanity into his villains that is unusual for the genre. Recommended for the thriller shelf.
