The Saudi-Iranian War

By Ted Halstead

"Fans of military fiction will love the detailed descriptions of tanks, drones, and warheads. But fans of political thrillers will enjoy the pacing and the story. It reads like a Tom Clancy novel, in that there are numerous characters and lots of moving parts. However, unlike Clancy, there are no side-plots that take a tangent to nowhere. Every person and event described in the book leads directly to the main plot, making this a pretty quick, concise read. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're curious about military fiction."

Iran's new ruler, Grand Ayatollah Reza Fagheh, will use three experimental nuclear weapons, VX, and two armored forces driving on Riyadh to overthrow the Saudi monarchy.

Two Russians have been sent to do what they can to stop the conflict, mostly because they were lucky enough to avert nuclear war in a previous mission. FSB Colonel Alexei Vasilyev and senior Vladivostok homicide detective Anatoly Grishkov both agree that a general war in the Middle East would be a disaster for Russia that must be avoided.

And both have the uneasy feeling that success, if it can be achieved at all, will come at a high cost.

Technical Sgt. Josh Pettigrew had never heard of the United States Military Training Mission to Saudi Arabia. Funded by profits from U.S. military sales to Saudi Arabia, USMTM provided hands-on training for Saudi soldiers operating the new equipment.

Including the latest armed drones. Ones that could make the difference in the war ahead.

The final exam for Pettigrew's students will be "pass/fail."
