Description
Life always brings unexpected gifts. But no one had foreseen such a deadly surprise. Is this the end of London?
Iranian Air Force Commander Major General Safawi is urgently summoned by the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. “I have decided to send the heretic British nation a gift, or to be precise, a nuclear gift”.
Lieutenant Colonel Kabadi, a brilliant operations officer with a stellar reputation, is appointed to plot and carry out the mission. Kabadi puts together an elite team which plans and executes the President’s order.
On the day of the operation, the charge does indeed arrive in the outskirts of London, but the secret is uncovered. Within minutes, rumors of an undercover Iranian operation spread throughout the city, and eight million residents try to flee in panic, unleashing violent riots and causing many casualties.
With fear and chaos in the streets of London reaching a peak, only a miracle can save the city. Unfortunately, even the best of the British security forces seems doomed to fail. Is a new era in the making?
David Yaron, an intelligence Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret), weaves a thrilling, sophisticated story, which appears utterly realistic. Yaron's writing, while minimalist, is full of details that only a military expert can recount, keeping the reader in constant suspense.

The Iranian Air Force has a secret mission to send a nuke to London. They will disguise themselves as an Air India passenger 747 and take the place of a plane in the air going to London. The small group working on this mission only have a few days to get the plane ready and modified to release the bomb. All of the tests go well and there is only to blow the Air India out of the sky with 400 aboard and take it's place. What could go wrong? When the London population hears about it, there is a complete panic. Fast pace and interesting story.

The Iranian Gift stands out for being a book that does a completely opposite thing - an Middle East nation attacking a developed European one, and that too England. David Yaron weaves a story that grows in suspense page by page, keeping the reader hooked on the edge. Not a single moment goes without anticipating the real motives of Major General Safawi and Lt Colonel Kabadi. The tight-knit style of Kabadi preparing for the mission is what kept me glued to the book. The first half of the book goes on in preparing for the mission and the latter half is about executing it. I really liked the suspense the book had till the end, alongside some tense situation building and good dialogues. Somewhere, I wish the book had cut on more technicalities about planes and rather focus on increasing action in the story, that was somehow a bit low.
Nevertheless, the book was an amazing read for me and when I found what happened to London, I was just surprised. I will surely recommend this book for an amazing read of how Iran bought London to its knees.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
