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. “A damned good writer.”—David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author. “Akin to Ludlum and Higgins.”—Dale Brown, New York Times bestselling author “Non-stop action and intrigue from the first page! Get this book and enjoy the thrill ride!”—Scott McEwen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Co-Author of American Sniper on Cyber Shot “A riveting thriller all the way through.”—Midwest Book Review on The Cold Edge “Watch out Jason Bourne, you had met your match with Jake Adams!”—Suspense Magazine “Not as technical and certainly shorter than Tom Clancy’s books but can be read in lieu of them.”—Library Journal “Trevor Scott never fails to please.”—Midwest Book Review “Vital 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.”—Midwest Book Review “Author Trevor Scott takes us on a thrill ride full of spycraft, geo-political espionage, advanced weaponry, treason, and a man’s fine appreciation for the female body, even when its owner is a stone killer.”—Jules Brenner, Mystery Scene Magazine “Strong 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.”—Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Commercial “Previous 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.”—Publishers Weekly on The Dolomite Solution “Scott 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.”—Booklist on Extreme Faction “The formidable protagonist zooms through densely detailed, entertaining...international adventures.”—Publishers Weekly on Extreme Faction “While the story is almost too close to reality…kudos to Scott for a job well done and expectations of more to come.”—AudioFile “Trevor Scott’s action-packed post-Cold War spy thriller is certainly that—a thriller.

I’d recommend this adventure highly.”—Duluth News-Tribune “Extreme Faction is fast-paced, realistic, and more than a bit frightening.” —Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon “Fatal Network is a masterfully written, splendidly executed, superb thriller.” —The Midwest Book Review “A real gut-buster of a thriller.”—Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon on Fatal Network “Unique twists and turns...a deadly cat and mouse game.”—Duluth News-Tribune on Fatal Network
