Third in the Code Word series, Code Word: Persepolis anticipates headlines as Iran’s uneasy neighbors maneuver to resist a new era of Persian dominance while America and China carry their own rivalry to the region. It sweeps from fighter cockpits to the Situation Room to Capitol Hill, from Washington to Tel Aviv to Tehran, pulling readers into the lives and struggles of warriors and leaders. Readers pull Gs in the deadly swirl of aerial combat, sweat alongside the captain during a dangerous feint and parry between Iranian missile boats and an American destroyer, and experience a reckoning between two grizzled warriors facing both each other and the march of time.

A propos de l’auteur
Doug Norton draws on both experience and research to pen the Code Word novels. Code Word: Paternity is a cautionary tale of an American president, a North Korean dictator, and bin Laden’s avengers. The second, Code Word: Pandora, has similar roots.As a warship captain during the cold war Doug held launch codes for nuclear weapons and was prepared to use them, but he also participated in high-stakes international negotiations to reduce their numbers and the chance of nuclear war. In Geneva, Brussels, London, and Washington he experienced diplomacy and politics in tense meetings, glittering receptions, and deadline-driven all-nighters. A graduate of the Naval Academy and of the University of Washington, Doug was a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow and Director of International Studies at the Naval Academy. After serving more than twenty-five years, Captain Norton retired from the navy and was an executive recruiter for fifteen years.
Doug and his wife live in Annapolis, where he volunteered with the Coast Guard Auxiliary in search and rescue and Anne Arundel Medical Center in the emergency department. He loves to meet readers and has signed books in bars, hospitals, and hotels as well as book stores, libraries, and book clubs.
