Publisher Description
Sandstorm is a thrilling debut novel about an ex-CIA agent and a covert operation designed to derail Iran's nuclear ambitions.
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 U.S. 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!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Detroit Fox News anchor Lee's debut, the middling first in a new thriller series, introduces Alex Koves, an ex CIA agent and ex pro footballer. A former girlfriend of Alex's, CIA agent Nora Mossa, hunts him down on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, where he's enjoying the sun and sand, and asks him to save her life. Alex reluctantly agrees to try to rescue Nora from a group of wealthy industrialists known as the Global Watch Institute, who fear Nora is on to their secret plot, code named Sandstorm, which they hope will invigorate America, change the course of history, and make them all even richer. The action involves arms dealers, Iranian nuclear ambitions, professional killers, CIA traitors, sexual tension, and the Mossad, but also clunky writing (e.g., "We're like pawns on a big-ass chessboard") and a less-than-credible meandering plot that leads to a fizzle of an ending.
Customer Reviews
So far so good!
Started reading the sample book and decided I would buy it. So far so good. I would really like to find an author that can mimic the storytelling and good read that Vince Flynn was capable of. He will be missed. Since Alan is a fan of Vince, I'm hoping some of Vince's storytelling will rub off on Alan. Keep up the good work on Fox 2 Alan. I will do another review when I'm further into the book.

Loved this book. Action packed but did NOT see this ending coming!
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
A political thriller, with a spy around every corner and action that kept me wanting to read more. I hope to read more about Alex Koves!
