One of America's greatest assets is loose and Iran is the target.

Early Praise for THE NATANZ DIRECTIVE:

"Wayne Simmons doesn't just write it. He's lived it, and that's why he and Mark Graham can tell this spy thriller in such an engrossing way."

—Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense

"The Natanz Directive is a first rate international thriller. The story of the CIA operative charged with penetrating Iran to discover and disrupt its nuclear activities is ripped from the headlines. It’s compelling, non-stop pacing leaves you gasping for breath. It’s a rare book that leaves you with a sense of satisfaction at the end, but this one does." 

—Harry MacLean, author of the Edgar award winning In Broad Daylight and The Past is Never Dead

“The Natanz Directive is a world-class thriller with the world, in fact, hanging on the brink. Jake Conlan will remind you in flashes of Ethan Hunt or Jason Bourne, perhaps with a dollop of James Bond. But Conlan’s talents are unique and he tackles this ripped-from-the-headlines global crisis with both cunning and brawn. A gripping read.”

—Mark Stevens, author of Antler Dust and Buried on the Roan

“The authors bring to the page a bona fide hero and a story rich in plot and boundless energy. The story takes place in the most frightening country on earth, and yet it is the characters and how they deal with this turmoil that most capture our imagination.”

—Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of Deep Black

"The Natanz Directive is the story behind the international headline story. Wayne Simmons and Mark Graham will rivet you with a book that is high concept, high stakes, high octane, and – most important for readers – high reward."

—Stephen White, bestselling author of Line of Fire
