Tectonic Terror

Homeland Security has intercepted "e;high integrity"e; intelligence that Shahed-136 suicide drones that Iran sold to Russia by the thousands for their attack on Ukraine, were being shipped to Greenland. Desperate for more intel, General Floyd Curtis-the brains in the Homeland Command Center-asks the CIA to look into it, but they have few boots on the ground in Iran due to ongoing sanctions. Luckily, CIA operative Zana Gilani-young, inexperienced, and insecure-who was recruited merely for his language skills, is already operating in Iran as an English tutor. Born in Iran to an Iranian mother and a Kurdish father, Gilani's father was killed fighting for Kurdish autonomy when Gilani was just a toddler. Left alone, his mother made the brave journey across the desert to Egypt and eventually made her way to America when Gilani was only five. By then, he was fluent in Farsi and Arabic but grew up primarily speaking American English. Once assigned this mission, Gilani gains intel that a young Saudi male is buying drone parts, but he fails to get a name. Intel supplied by a paid CIA informant puts him on the trail of Abdullah Ibn Ibrahim. Convinced he has been chosen by Allah for this great mission, Ibrahim who is well-funded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is compiling the highly-purified uranium, drone parts, and bomb components to rain death on infidels. Finally, identified by Gilani, Ibrahim is trailed moving supplies to a ship in the Persian Gulf, but his trail is lost until Gilani infiltrates his little house in a squalid, south-side neighborhood in Tehran. It's there that he finds a one-way ticket to Greenland. Meanwhile, General Floyd Curtis with Homeland Security figures out what's happening and moves all assets north, realizing the clock is ticking toward nuclear disaster. Will Gilani be able to crack the code and find Ibrahim in time before the world is placed in imminent danger?
