Operation Exodus

Six evangelical missionaries are kidnapped and become unwitting pawns in a high stakes gambit by the Iranian government to embarrass a hated, U.S. sitting president, and to ruin his chances of reelection. Tasked with brainwashing the missionaries is Colonel Salehrad of SAVAC, the Iranian intelligence service. The prisoners are spirited away from Tehran to a remote location in an ancient fortified prison just outside the southeastern Iranian port of Kanarak, a resort city off the Gulf of Oman, famous worldwide as a sport fishing paradise.

With the help of the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, the prisoners are eventually located, and the game of chess begins in the effort to rescue the missionaries. Called to lead Operation Exodus is Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jake Lawlor, grandson of a legendary WWII submarine commander. Operation Exodusfollows Jake and his SEAL team, charts their success and some unwelcome surprises, as the mission unfolds. Nothing comes off quite as planned, and Jake discovers, upon breeching the prison, that one of the missionaries has already succumbed to the SAVAC colonel's wiles and has been whisked off into town. What follows is a rescue mission with enough twists and turns guaranteed to keep readers turning the pages.

This is author Gene Masters' second novel. The first, Silent Warriors: Submarine Warfare in the Pacific, is now available in audio book from Audible.com.
