Publisher's summary

It was the perfect day - until the gunfire.

Nir Tavor is an Israeli secret service operative turned talented Mossad agent.

Nicole le Roux is a model with a hidden skill.

A terrorist attack brings them together, and then work forces them apart - until they’re unexpectedly called back into each other’s lives.

But there’s no time for romance. As violent radicals threaten chaos across the Middle East, the two must work together to stop these extremists, pooling Nicole’s knack for technology and Nir’s adeptness with on-the-ground missions. Each heart-racing step of their operation gets them closer to the truth - and closer to danger.

In this thrilling first book in a new series, authors Amir Tsarfati and Steve Yohn draw on true events as well as tactical insights Amir learned from his time in the Israeli Defense Forces. For believers in God’s life-changing promises, Operation Joktan is a suspense-filled pause-resister that illuminates the blessing Israel is to the world.

A page turner!

I loved this book! It is fast paced and is written for our day! I just wish there was anyone to go too! Hope this is just the beginning of a series.

Stick to Intrigue & Drop the Romance

The international elements & intrigue of the story were interesting and moved at a good pace.
The ‘romantic’ portion seemed out of place, except to have a vehicle to introduce conversion to Christianity.

Engaging and informative

This exciting story kept me engaged with the characters, the action, and the emotional reaction to the life threatening situations they experienced. It also provided informative insight into the conflicts and players of the middle east nations and tribes. Waiting with anticipation for the King of Kings to sit on the throne and bring peace eternal.

A bit technical but informative and entertaining

Liked the book overall. At times it was a bit more technical than I prefer, but still entertaining and fast moving

Great story

The story is believable, suspenseful, fast paced, and has great one liners! I loved the banter of the team. It brought to light the precarious position of Israel with its neighbors. I can’t imagine growing up and living somewhere surrounded by nations that want you wiped from the face of the earth. Israel is an amazing nation and its people are remarkable! The Christian storyline was very well done and has great apologetics. I bought the next book and hope there will be more!

Best fiction book I have read in a long time

This book should come with a warning: “Ability to put this book down once started is not possible!” A fast paced and exciting book from the first page to the last. Looking forward to future books in this series.

Wanted to love it ...

I wanted to love this book. Covert spies? Action? It-could-happen plot? And with a Christain theme? I was super excited to listen to it. Then ... the narrator added rocks to his mouth to effect an Israli accent ... I couldn't understand it ... it genuinely sounded like he dislocated his jaw every time he used the Israli accent. Garbled. Childish. So. Disappointed. It was enough that I won't listen to the narrator again. Maybe I'll buy the Kindle version instead.

Subtle approach to minister to Jews

Very believable in this day with all the turmoil in the Middle East. The author is not only an Israeli who has served in the military but is the CEO of SarEl tour company. I learned interesting facts about Dubai and AbuDabi
