Karl Adams is a new CIA officer undercover and immersed in Murmansk, Russia, as a Spanish graduate student at the local university. On a cold February night, while flying a drone, he takes video of a missile on a transporter erector launcher being loaded aboard a merchant ship. This could be a violation of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty signed by Reagan and Gorbachev. Karl is recalled to America, but not for long. The Agency wants him to continue with his mission, which brings him to a tumultuous South American country. As the U.S. Navy tracks the Russian ship across the Atlantic, it soon becomes clear that a new Cold War could turn hot, bringing the two superpowers to the brink of war. With Karl being the son of legendary CIA officers Jake Adams and Toni Contardo, he definitely has the DNA to complete this mission. But in the cat and mouse spy game, nobody is safe.âA damned good writer.ââDavid Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author.âAkin to Ludlum and Higgins.ââDale Brown, New York Times bestselling authorâNon-stop action and intrigue from the first page! Get this book and enjoy the thrill ride!ââScott McEwen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Co-Author of American Sniper on Cyber ShotâA riveting thriller all the way through.ââMidwest Book Review on The Cold EdgeâWatch out Jason Bourne, you had met your match with Jake Adams!ââSuspense MagazineâNot as technical and certainly shorter than Tom Clancyâs books but can be read in lieu of them.ââLibrary JournalâTrevor Scott never fails to please.ââMidwest Book ReviewâVital Force is the riveting novel of rapidly paced, non-stop, action adventure. The stuff of which block-buster movies are made, Vital Force is very highly recommended reading for those who enjoy a well-crafted spy-thriller story.ââMidwest Book ReviewâAuthor Trevor Scott takes us on a thrill ride full of spycraft, geo-political espionage, advanced weaponry, treason, and a manâs fine appreciation for the female body, even when its owner is a stone killer.ââJules Brenner, Mystery Scene MagazineâStrong Conviction is a good crime story with interesting characters and solid writing. Trevor Scott weaves a web of small-town controversy that entraps our hero...with vivid description he paints characters who breathe and sets up believable conflict.ââPine Bluff (Arkansas) CommercialâPrevious titles have fit the Tom Clancy techno mold, but this topical tale of DNA research and a possible cure for heart disease falls more in the James Bond tradition of fancy cars and fast women.ââPublishers Weekly on The Dolomite SolutionâScott has the high-tech jargon down pat...he takes readers around the world for a thrill-packed adventure. Technothriller fans looking for an alternative to Clancy will find Scott a somewhat smaller-scale but perhaps even more authentic alternative.ââBooklist on Extreme FactionâThe formidable protagonist zooms through densely detailed, entertaining...international adventures.ââPublishers Weekly on Extreme FactionâWhile the story is almost too close to realityâŠkudos to Scott for a job well done and expectations of more to come.ââAudioFileâTrevor Scottâs action-packed post-Cold War spy thriller is certainly thatâa thriller. Extreme Faction takes the reader around the world, into different cultures, lifestyles and ideals with flawless ease. Iâd recommend this adventure highly.ââDuluth News-TribuneâExtreme Faction is fast-paced, realistic, and more than a bit frightening.â âStatesman Journal, Salem, OregonâFatal Network is a masterfully written, splendidly executed, superb thriller.â âThe Midwest Book ReviewâA real gut-buster of a thriller.ââStatesman Journal, Salem, Oregon on Fatal NetworkâUnique twists and turns...a deadly cat and mouse game.ââDuluth News-Tribune on Fatal Network
