ABOUT THE BOOK
His marriage in tatters and his career ruined by lies, Diplomatic Security Service agent Brian Mullaney is at the end of his rope. Banished to Israel as punishment by his agency, he's assigned to guard a US ambassador and an insignificant box. Little does he know that this new job will propel him straight into a crisis of global proportions.
Inside the box is a messianic prophecy about the fate of the world. And a dark enemy known as The Turk and the forces of evil at his command are determined to destroy the box, the prophecy, and the Middle East as we know it. When Ambassador Cleveland gets in the way, his life and his daughter's life are threatened--and Mullaney must act fast.
Now agents of three ancient empires have launched covert operations to secure nuclear weapons, in direct defiance of the startling peace treaty Israel and its Arab neighbors have signed. And a traitor in the US State Department is leaking critical information to a foreign power. It's up to Mullaney--still struggling with his own broken future--to protect the embassy staff, thwart the clandestine conspiracies, and unmask a traitor--before the desert is turned into a radioactive wasteland.
Fans of Joel C. Rosenberg, Steven James, and Ted Dekker will relish the deadly whirlpool of international intrigue and end-times prophecy in Ishmael Covenant--and will eagerly await the rest of this new trilogy.

MY REVIEW
A messianic prophecy, nuclear weapons, a traitor (plus, a whole lot more)... Agent Brian Mullaney finds himself in the midst of more drama and danger than he anticipated upon receiving his assignment to Israel. And it turns out that Ishmael Covenant is only the beginning of his troubles.
The story begins slowly, as Terry Brennan establishes his characters and the political climate, but when the action starts, it is easy to fly through the remaining pages. I enjoyed the intrigue, the thrill, the intricacies of Ishmael Covenant; I’m eager to see how Persian Betrayal continues the series.
★★★.5
I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
