The Last Refuge by Ben Coes

Dewey Andreas, former SEAL and Delta receives a message to meet Israeli Special Forces commander Kohn Meir in New York. Dewey owes him a debt from when he and his commandos saved Dewey from terrorists.

When Dewey reaches New York he finds that Meir had been kidnapped by Iranian operatives. They took him to Evin Prison in Iran where Meir would probably be tortured, have a mock trial and a public execution.

Dewey also learns that the reason Meir wanted Dewey was to recriut him for a mission. Iran has a nuke ready to strike at Tel Aviv.

The stiuation seems impossible. Meir is in Iran's most protected prisons and is sentenced to die but Dewey can't ask U.S. government or Israel for help because Iran might find out and use the nuke sooner.

This is a suspenseful story. With so much action, the author also does a good job with character development. Between action scenes, there are pauses when the characters think of their past or we see what is going on in the U.S. government. This permits the reader to catch their breath and get to know and appreciate the characters.

The story seems well researched and the plot is highly entertaining.
