Blind Scorpion, Iran's Nuclear Sting - Book 3 (Book 1 Free): He could walk away a hero...but for which country? Kindle Edition

by Mike Wells (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 53 ratings
(Note: This book was previously published as Mushroom in the Sand. Please do not purchase this title if you have already read that book). Readers of Tom Clancy, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, John Le Carre will enjoy this fast-paced, international spy thriller. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Fast paced and suspenseful, it features a surprising range of highly likable characters…a thoroughly well-researched book by a person in the know.” - Claude Forthomme, former United Nations worker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Suspense, intrigue, and betrayal - the game of spy versus spy where corruption, espionage and the quest for the ultimate power rule, governments have their ways, and Iran is no exception.” - Dii, Amazon Top 500 Super Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I found it impossible to put down. Thrilling, suspenseful as it dove into the world of espionage among world powers. Fast paced and based loosely on world events of WMD’s.” - Jeff Mattice, Book Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Masterpiece! Timely, fast paced and hard to put down. Would make a helluva movie!” - Fred Bowditch, Book Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What interests me more is the depth of his knowledge (clearly the author has a passion for it) about nuclear technology and how people can use it to destroy things. In addition to that, we have many big players in the book: MOIS, Mossad, US and Russia, all in it for various reasons.” - Ailyn Koay, Book Reviewer BOOK DESCRIPTION The BLIND SCORPION is a Top Secret computer program for simulating nuclear weapons explosions and the catastrophic havoc they wreak. Dr. Ross Shaheen, the developer of the software, is living the American dream. Between his internationally-recognized nuclear weapons research career at the prestigious Berkeley Lab and his picture-perfect family in the San Francisco suburbs, it's a good life that can only get better...until he is lured into lecturing before an elite group of scientists in the country of his birth: Iran. The seven thousand mile trip takes Shaheen back to the land of the lion and the sun, yet it also delivers to Iran's very doorstep an important American citizen with a Top Secret security clearance. It soon becomes clear what the Iranians are really after: the BLIND SCORPION. The coveted software is the key to advancing their clandestine nuclear weapons program without the rest of the world being able to prove its existence. Shaheen becomes entangled in a twisted web of espionage, corruption and survival, putting to the test not only his secret knowledge but also the very core of his allegiance to the land he now calls home. If he lives, Dr. Ross Shaheen could walk away a hero. The question is, for which country?

    Blind Scorpion is a fantastic read, I found it impossible to put down. Thrilling, suspenseful as it dove into the world of espionage among world powers. Fast paced and based loosely on world events of WMD's weapons of mass destruction.Iranian born American physicist Dr.Shaheen is forced to test his patriotism.Is it to his country of birth Iran or to America. Folks this is a 5 star novel and a I highly recommend you read this book. You may be asking yourself some questions about how in depth the spy game really is. Read this book

    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022
    After reading this 3 book series, I applaud how credible the storyline and plot could represent what is happening in the nuclear standoff. Mike and his co-author have described a scenario that could be unfolding as I write this review. Let’s hope it’s only my imagination working overtime.

    The authors have hit this story out of the park. The characters, the plot, the twists and turns were compelling and authentic. A screenplay and film should be next. #Rising Sun
