By John L. Lynch

"the promising beginning of a larger 'New Persia' saga... a sci-fi setting that also delivers shock-and-awe combat action." -- Kirkus Reviews

New Persian Captain Basir Turani, a young tank commander, and Farad Hashemi, an ace fighter pilot, fight the invasion of their homeland.

Two women, Suri Pahlavi and Nasrin Avesta, break the conventions of their age and choose their own destiny.

On a planet rising from the ashes of fallen empires, it is time for things to change.

BEFORE THE STORM is the first book in the New Persia series of military science fiction novels.
