Persian Betrayal Blog Tour and Giveaway

About the Book:
How much can Brian Mullaney risk to serve God and save lives – without losing his own?
DSS Regional Security Officer Brian Mullaney has been tasked with an incredibly dangerous mission. When a synagogue in Jerusalem is destroyed by an explosion, burying the second key prophecy Mullaney is hunting – and the deadly box that protects it – the answer he desperately needs are also crushed. How can he discover the meaning of the centuries old prophecy now? Why are he and the ambassador he's assigned to protect being targeted? And is there any way this lone man can thwart a nuclear arms race between three ascendant empires of the past?
An otherworldly servant of evil known only as the Turk is maneuvering all three nations into an intricate dance designed to undermine prophecy about the end times. And he won't let Mullaney or anyone else get in his way.
Wounded in a bloody shoot-out, pressured by his wife to come home, and mourning the death of his best friend, Mullaney doesn't need a powerful enemy. Who is he to save the Ishmael Covenant, the treaty promising peace in the Middle East? Despite angelic intervention, Mullaney wants nothing to do with his final assignment. But without him, evil will win the ultimate struggle . . . and humankind will have no hope left.


MY REVIEW
This is book two in the exciting series that propels the story to secrets and danger at every turn. I love that the book picks up from the first one without missing a beat. I do recommend reading the first one as it lays the foundation for the series. The author grabs your attention right away with an explosion that not only shakes the building but the mission that was to be completed. I loved the beginning when Moses and Joshua are together. It is a reminder that God never goes back on His Word.

Brian is a man who takes his assignments serious. He is not happy that the explosion has killed many, even some of their own. How will he be able to complete his mission if documents have been lost forever? The description of the explosion is vivid and it is easy to visualize the damage . It reads almost like a news story from the Middle East that we see on the news. 

There is a lot going on in the book with the mysterious metal box that is vital for Brian to keep safe. I loved how the author gives a little background on the box and about the prophecy. It is almost like reading it from the Bible. There are people who can’t be trusted within the ranks of Americans. They have high power positions and are willing to commit treason to profit for their own gain.  Brian  has to really decipher every information given to him to be sure he does not fall for a trap. 

The book is definitely action packed and at times I didn’t know who to trust. The author does an excellent job of throwing twists in the story to keep readers guessing. Peace in the Middle East is not something one group wants to happen. The destruction and chaos that takes place is shocking at times as the body count rises. The faith element is more prevalent in this book and I loved how it added to the story. Be warned though. The book ends on a cliffhanger so we will have to wait to see what happens next in this exciting series that I want to see made into a movie. 

I received a copy of this book from Read With Audra. The review is my own opinion.
