Tom Griffin, a smart but anonymous U. S. intelligence analyst, doubts a vaunted U.S. strike has fully crippled Iran's efforts to build a nuclear bomb. But as unexpected repercussions mount, his concerns are less than welcome by his intelligence employers. Given the opportunity to prove his case by a senior government officer, Tom recruits an old acquaintance with Iranian connections. The more they discover, however, the less they seem to be heard. Scrupulously researched, The Sword of God's action unfolds in very real and exotic places, be it the spice souks of Dubai, the vault of the Iranian Crown Jewels, or the hidden centrifuge halls in Natanz. Possessing neither remarkable abilities nor incredible resources, Tom Griffin must determine if one man can really make a difference in a world tilting rapidly toward disaster.
