Serendipity -John Clayton
[T]here's a little thing in the publishing business called serendipity, and it comes into play when you write a novel and your fictional premise suddenly becomes a shocking truth, a truth that results in global outrage, banner headlines and round-the-clock cable news coverage.
That's what's happening to [author] Joe Smiga. [T]he central storyline in "Behind the Lies," [is that] Iran has nukes [and] Hamas, Hezbollah and renegade Ayatollahs control Kilo-class submarines. Joe has scripted a cliff-hanger.
Talk about lucky timing.
"[T]he fact that my book has a black President who's in his first term in the book strikes a chord with readers," Joe said.

Interesting. I will have to see what the reviews are like. He may be a fortunate prognosticator,k or just a quick writer, who found a publisher equally interested in getting this sort of thing out quick. I look forward to learning more about this.
This is the first novel for this author, whom I know. Writing is his new 'second career'...I have a copy but have not gotten to it as yet.
