Arabian Variable
Hunted by Muslim extremists for ten years, ex-Marine chopper pilot Carson Adams is forced from hiding when they track him to the Carolinas, then bait him to return to volatile Saudi Arabia. With access to the underground network of Christians in Arabia, and resources from C.O.I.L., Carson covertly slips into Mecca. Facing surprises at every turn, and finding help from an unlikely source, he still looks for opportunities to share God's Word in the closed country.
In Arabian Variable, a covert, action-suspense by D.I. Telbat, we find that Prince Rashid and ex-Iranian Pasdaran Agent Fajl are fast on Carson's heels. God gives Carson refuge in a junker helicopter in the midst of Mecca, even as he plans the rescue of a kidnapped family. His secret contact in Israel may be his only hope when all seems to be lost.
Who could know that smuggling Bibles would be so perilous? Can Carson Adams show the love of Jesus Christ even to those who are trying to kill him? And who from his past is really his greatest foe? Arabian Variable is a 76,000-word knock-out novel of thrill, action, and suspense! Cover art is by Cindy L. Anderson.
Included: glossary of terms, a link to three FREE diagram downloads, and BONUS Chapter One of new novel, Called To Gobi!

Excellent book, one of the best books I have read.
This is a very good book! It is definitely worth your time in reading. Get it and you will not regret it. One of my favorite parts is where they were escaping in the chopper and it goes down and he is with his family. They almost do not survive they are clinging together and barely holding on to life. It reminds you how important family and faith is.

Fantastic!
One of your very best! Although, I think I say that about all your books. Fast moving, exciting, hold your breath moments, scary and then there's love. People risking their life for strangers. Why? Because they are fellow believers and have put their lives in the good Lord's Hands. Great. Great. Great. A must read. Thank you for your excellent, inspiring work. God bless you.

Another excellent book by D.I. Telbat
Leaving your family at home to help a person who is a Christian who is a prisoner in another country and realizing your family was kidnapped because the bad guys are after you and rescuing them as well as the Christian in a hostile place is not easy for anyone. Exciting story.

Great story and characters
Hope to hear more from the Arabian Variable in the future. I enjoyed this book much better than God's Colonel which came just before this book, both as standalone novels.

Held in Suspense
I enjoyed the twists and turns of this page turner. Had me guessing the direction of this story line which never seemed to go where I thought it would. After reading most of Telbats books how did I miss one of his first before the C.O.I.L. Series.

Non stop action!
I can't get enough of Telbats storys. It is so hard to find Christian books with this much suspense. Great chatactures.
