About this ebook

"Death, mayhem, murder, Mossad, nukes, maniac billionaires set on world domination . . . Sandstorm has all the muscle-power of its title." —Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times–bestselling author
Lurking in the shadows, away from any government oversight, a secret partnership has been formed between an Israeli spymaster pulling the strings of the most efficient killing machine the Mossad has to offer and an exclusive billionaire boys club that wants to dictate the New World Order. In their pocket is a powerful US senator who aspires to the presidency. Success means vast wealth and increased power, and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.
CIA operative Nora Mossa is trained to kill when the situation calls for it. She's also capable of disappearing into thin air. Being efficient, deadly, and beautiful, however, won't be enough to protect her after her mentor Erica Janway is assassinated in her Maryland home. With everyone in the Agency suspect, Nora turns to the only person capable of keeping her alive while she uncovers the truth behind Janway's demise—her former lover and ex-CIA agent Alex Koves. That is, if he will even speak to her.
With danger lurking in every corner of the globe, Koves and Nora must stay alive long enough to piece together the clues to a deadly plot capable of killing thousands in the Middle East. And the clock is ticking . . .
Optioned to be a major motion picture!
" Sandstorm is excitement detonated! Taut and terrifying, Alan Lee's debut thriller drops us into the kill zone of possibilities lurking behind real headlines." —Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Ratings and reviews

Lee has some potential as a novelist of espionage. He has some good ideas but this book comes across as shallow. His dialog certainly needs to improve, it's as though he cant figure out what to say at times. This novel showcases an obvious beginner. Let's hope that's all it is and not a lack of talent.
