Coming 22 April 2025
From the streets of Tehran to the front lines of the world’s most elite warriors, Shadows of Tehran is a gripping survival story inspired by true events—a testament to resilience, transformation, and the unbreakable human spirit.
The novel follows Ricardo, a young Iranian rebel forced to flee his homeland after becoming a target of the regime. His journey takes him from the underground resistance to life on the run, and ultimately, to earning his place among the U.S. Special Forces.
Written by Nick Berg, Shadows of Tehran is based on his own extraordinary life.

This book is more than just a story—it’s an experience. If you are drawn to real-life accounts of special operations, elite warriors, and triumph over impossible odds, Shadows of Tehran is a must-read.
Nick’s journey stands as a testament to resilience and purpose, proving that even in the face of relentless adversity, it is possible to forge a new destiny.

Sandra Lefort
At 50 years old, Sandra’s friend insisted she had the makings of a bestselling book.
“Not a chance,” Sandra replied, “I have too many friends who don’t know anything about my life. They’d run a mile if they did!”
Sandra always knew she had a compelling story. Her real-life love story, filled with tales of prostitution, unknowingly smuggling £7 million worth of cannabis from Morocco, drug running from Peru, an attempted murder, and a stint in a French prison, seemed like pure fiction. Yet, even the most creative novelist couldn’t have invented such a tale.
Now, over 30 years later, Sandra is ready to set the record straight and share her experiences.
This is Sandra’s story—one of love and heartache, sexual encounters and awakenings, betrayal, broken hearts, and dreams. It’s a book about a woman who relentlessly pursued adventure, regardless of the risks.
