What if Iran had a nuclear weapon? This carefully researched tale of espionage, high stakes diplomacy, and nuclear confrontation in Central Asia is very close to what might actually happen – or is happening.

THE MINGRELIAN, CIA code name for America’s most important source for Iranian nuclear secrets, is a triple agent, playing Russia, Iran and the United States against each other. When the CIA station chief in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia blows her cover, Air Force Capt. Boyd Chailland goes undercover flying the diplomatic mail route through Central Asia to re-establish contact. Just as he gets there, an assassination attempt on the president of Russia thrusts Boyd into the limelight, and gains him an unlikely ally as Iran’s government begins to destabilize from within.

THE MINGRELIAN has a daughter! When this action packed adventure spreads from the snow capped Caucasus Mountains to the Persian Gulf Boyd must crash Iran’s nuclear coming out party to rescue his fiance, and the one man who can save Persia.

When all of this actually happens in a year or two, you can say you read it here.

“Spycraft, nuclear weapons, high stakes diplomacy and villainy are all part of the great game in The Mingrelian.”  – The Steele  Enterprise
