Title
Persian Horse by Marc Iverson (A Novel of War in the Gulf) - Hardcover – 1991
In *Persian Horse* by Mark Iverson, the story unfolds in the final months of a war in the Persian Gulf. Iranian commandos capture the USS *Bulkeley*, a U.S. Navy frigate, with a dangerous plan: they intend to turn the ship into a "Persian horse," essentially a floating bomb aimed at destroying the flagship of U.S. forces in the Gulf.
As the majority of the *Bulkeley*'s crew is locked away in their quarters, Lieutenant Commander John Stewart and a small group of enlisted personnel are left to combat the threat. They must use their wits, physical prowess, and whatever weapons they can find to regain control of their ship and thwart the Iranian plot.
The novel, written by retired naval officer Mark Iverson, blends high-stakes action with technical details reminiscent of Tom Clancy's style, though with a nod to the narrative style of C.S. Forester. A subplot involves a female journalist who is Stewart's former lover, adding a personal dimension to the story. Iverson presents a gripping and believable military thriller with nuanced portrayals of both the American and Iranian characters, enhancing the story's credibility and emotional depth.
