Product Description

Product Description

What do we really know about Iran’s Nuclear Program? In the Persian Caper project, a fictional team of American, Turkish, British, and Israeli secret agents in Iran to determine the actual status and ultimate goals of Iran's Nuclear R&D facilities. A plan has been developed to destroy those facilities, if necessary, to prevent fruition of the suspected development of nuclear weapons to use on the United States, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Israel.
This fast-moving thriller is all too realistic as it draws on the author's extensive experience as an American expatriate who lived, worked, and studied in Iran to describe the adventures of the team replete with vivid detail on cuisine, sights, aromas, and customs of the diverse Persian population.
Bill Burke visited many of the locations mentioned in his story, and he thoroughly enjoyed residing in Persia with his wife before the advent of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini Islamic Revolution and the subsequent downfall of the Shah.
Bill Burke is a retired corporate executive and a freelance writer. He lived and worked in France for one and one-half years during the 1950s while in the U.S. military, and in Iran for one year during the 1970s while working for an American private sector firm. A seasoned traveler, he has visited 51 countries and all 50 states. The author earned Associate in Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Business Administration degrees.
Mister Burke’s published works include three non-fiction books: Adventures in the Middle East, Near East, and North Africa (Publish America, 2004), Odyssey from Iran (Publish America, 2007), and My Army Days: Hup, Toop, Threep, Fourp! (Publish America, 2009). His short stories and articles have appeared in national periodicals (Reminisce Extra, 1996; WIT Club News, 1998-2008; The New Gun Week, 2005, 2007), and regional and local newsletters during the past 20 years.

The first 23 percent reads as I imagine a CIA mission report with detailed descriptions of gun make and model and intelligence experience of all the characters. Not really my cup of tea.
I found the writing style to be report-like with stilted and unrealistic conversation thrown in.
It may be great after 23% but I gave up at that point!

The Persian Caper 22 Sep 2011
By JLR - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This well spun spy novel intrigued my wife and I immensely and is a works illustrating the current situation with Iran. It seemed to me to be highly plausible and had comprehensive glossaries for reference to some of the material used. The novel is furnished with facts which the author has personally gained about the Middle East and in particular Iran which he expertly weaves into the story. Thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I ...thanks Bill!!!
