Iran is bracing for war and poised to make an armed grab for regional hegemony. Its leadership in Tehran is preparing to play a secret military trump card. Long in preparation, Iran's nuclear warfare program has yielded an array of weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems to drop nukes onto targets in the Middle East and as far away as the continental reaches of the United States.
Shock and awe air strikes have so far failed to destroy Iran's hardened weapons development facilities, its protected missile launch sites, or its bomb-proof and hard-to-find aircraft hangars.
Iran's vast armies are also ready to march in human wave attacks against US bases in Iraq. Tehran is prepared to wage war and primed to win. Washington and the Pentagon have both proven utterly powerless to either negotiate a settlement or forestall Iran's aggression through effective military action.
But there is an answer. Lightning assault by joint, combined arms strategic forces leveraging America's next-generation combat systems and advanced warfighting tactics in order to prevail against otherwise impossible odds.
For Iran, the result is ... Bloodbath

**Acclaim for Bloodbath**
"Riveting ... powerful ... unbeatable..." -- **Josh Stern, Globe Reviews
Applause for David Alexander's Thrillers**
"Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows as much about future military technology and the impact on past and present strategic issues on tomorrow's conflicts as does David Alexander. And nobody has the proven ability and unique flair necessary to put that knowledge and insight into the pages of some of the best thriller fiction going. David Alexander ranks among the most original, bold and thought-provoking authors ever to make a bid for recognition in the challenging arena of thriller fiction." -- **Brian Condon, Book Reviewer**
"Alexander is so far ahead of the pack that they must be howling like wolves running at his back, hungry for even just a taste of his immense writing talent. There's no doubt that in the action wolf pack Alexander is top dog, and the canine whose scent the others follow." -- **F. C. Dubrow, Book Reviewer**
"David Alexander has written the ultimate contemporary thriller novel. Some boast of stories torn from today's headlines ... well, what of it? David Alexander may reasonably claim to have written novels whose plots and characters seem torn from searing accounts of tomorrow's pivotal events..." -- **Ken Rice, Book Reviewer**
### From the Inside Flap
**Acclaim for David Alexander's Thrillers and Technothrillers**
"Under Attack is a global action thriller that works both as riveting fiction and as a case study in preparing for doomsday ... pistol-hot ... a must-read." --** Star Tribune**
"If America ever finds itself under attack again by terrorism it's a good bet it may resemble the disturbing visions portrayed in his thriller Under Attack. This is a great book because it extrapolates a future, however terrifying, from the events of yesterday and today. Alexander has managed to foretell a possible future "day of infamy" in prose as gripping as any of his contemporaries. He is an author whose work demands attention. His imagination is vast and his grasp of the myriad technological complexities of modern warfare and strategic politics, to name but a few, is startling in its extent. This is a strong book by a very special and very large talent. It's a book with the power to carry you along and make you wonder at its end." -- **Gloucester Examiner**
"Blistering and brilliant, Chain Reaction is thriller fiction at its best." -- **Camden News Service**
