“The Author of the novel is Eric
Jordan. I have heard of him before, but not as novelist…rather as a top
secret agent in the CIA. In 2000 Eric Jordan appeared on the world stage
again, this time as an author of a novel published in London, Operation Hebron.
All the information on the cover regarding the author is accurate without any
exaggeration. A close friend of mine read it and in turn gave it to me to
read. It never occurred to me that, as a novel, it would be of any
interest to me, so it was a few weeks before I read it. One night while
looking for something light to read before going to bed, I came across this
book. Surprisingly, I did not go to bed that night until I finished
reading all 370 pages! The author is an expert on life and people. Definitely,
the scenes and events of the novel excite one’s imagination. However,
the fact that such imagination overlaps with reality and vice versa is what is
even more interesting!”

"Super First Novel - Jordan
has crafted a tightly woven plot that is entirely believable and bordering on
prescient (given the 2000 Presidential election). There is little doubt that the
author's spy-craft experiences have found their way into this story; the details
are too rich to be based on imagination alone. The book has all the ingredients
for success--excitement, intelligence, realism, and it grabs your attention
LeCarre style. Hopefully there will be more books of kind from this talented
author."
- H. Sohner
"Best Since Tom Clancy - Fast-moving
thriller full of suspense - I could not put it down until dawn. In writing a
post Cold War spy novel in the best tradition of an earlier Tom Clancy, Jordan
has captured the methods and treacheries of International Intelligence
Organizations and their agents. His descriptions of settings, cities, ports,
airplanes and the offices of high politics are accurate to the last detail. He
has been there and captured it for the reader. A MUST read.."

"Heckuva book. Page-turner.
Ought to be a movie."
- Courier-Post, New
Jersey
"A new Ian Fleming - A terrific, sophisticated
thriller written by someone who clearly understands the espionage business. The
characters are exciting, plausible and colorful. This is a natural for TV and/or a movie. The author has a comprehensive knowledge of politics
and business which puts him centerstage in the world we live in. Please write
more, Mr. Jordan."
- Amb. William
J Vanden Heuvel, New York City
"There’s
an intriguing premise buried inside this first thriller by an acknowledged
former U.S. spy and adviser on terrorism to President Reagan […] the basic
plot contains a lot of suspense and a believably conflicted FBI agent named
Brenda Straus. […] Straus’s opponents include another well-sketched female
character: Jackie Marcovic, a sexy assassin. […] a good novel – strong
characters, a solid plot and an air of authority about its subject…"

"A page-turner! You have to buy
this book! Before reading Operation Hebron I only had time to read two major
fiction writers consistently. From now on it will be three, including Eric
Jordan."
- Jerry Pierce, KMPH-FM/KTRB-AM
Fresno, California
"Congratulations
to Eric Jordan. Operation Hebron is the finest spy book I have ever read. The
organization and unfolding of the continuing suspense left me in awe of your
masterpiece. It was solid reading and filled with incredible intrigue."
- Trudy Paul,
Alexandria, VA
"As a frequent flyer and a reader
of many types of fiction, I was delighted to come across Operation Hebron. In my
view, it ranks with Day of the Jackal, one of the best yarns of the
international terror genre in the last twenty years. The villain, Jackie, is
especially well drawn with a dark and sinister quality as well as moments of
being a 'real person'.
The foreign conspirators were credible
and appropriately untuned to the nuance of American politics. The White House
and political types were right on the mark! In my career as an educator and
consultant in Washington, I have seen endless examples where personal
friendships between the President and poor judgment by some of his friends in
high level jobs made for serious trouble.
The tech stuff is in the book was real
world and the suspense taut to the last few pages. A great read!"
- R. T. Curran, Frankfort, MI
"...an exciting reading
adventure. Through the alchemy of fiction,
Eric Jordan admits us to a hidden world of intrigue where he won many fateful duels - a world populated by progeny of both Dr. Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes; by potentates, poseurs, spies, and assassins; by women who allure and endanger; and by a few men equal to them all.... And they all make guides to an exciting reading adventure!"
- John Barron, author of KGB and other international bestsellers on espionage
"... the author knows espionage, counter-intelligence, and covert action - and how they are handled and mishandled by national leaders - as most leading fiction writers only vaguely
imagine. Operation Hebron is
a page-turner in which the reader feels the reality of the world of
international intrigue... Jordan - a master of intelligence - has seen and
done it all."
- Don Lavey, Special Agent FBI, Chief of Anti-Terrorism at
INTERPOL, Lyon
"I
have just finished reading 'Operation Hebron'! Congratulations Eric
Jordan! It is a great book..very much up to date these days. I love
Brenda's brainstorming mind; Le Valet, Jack, J, and Jackie. As William
Casey writes "...Jordan's long productive service is recognized by all."
Thank you; great reading"
