False Target: An Adam Drake thriller

by Scott Matthews

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Adam Drake.

A girl trafficked and sold to the highest bidder, a teenager dead from toxic drugs and a Chinese deception on a global scale.

When Adam Drake agrees to help his former army Chaplain track down the killer of his friend's son, he finds himself in a dark world of cover-up, deceit and international spies.

With Taiwan’s freedom hanging in the balance, the girl’s life is not the only thing relying on Drake’s next step.

A fast-paced, action-packed thriller with a plot that could be tomorrow's headline.

I love this author & have read all his books. I’ve recommended him since I read his first one a number of years ago, all were 5 star. While I liked the storyline, it was difficult for me to stay involved because of the errors in syntax & spelling. I only started making notes of the problems about halfway through in my Kindle & had over 18 notations. It was like he let someone else write the book, I was disappointed. I will read his next one when it comes out & hope this was a glitch in his system.

Woke Not

Mr. Matthew's series has been a fascinating read involving unfortunately believable plots stemming from current (and past) geopolitical events exposing clear and present dangers that a nation is faced with because of horrible decisions made based on false , or even no, moral or patriotic principles.
His characters are clearly seen as highly skilled specialists who are totally human beings, not robotic "James Bond" clones who never made a mistake.
Their interpersonal relationships are refreshingly authentic and appreciated, which contributes to feeding his readers' demands for his sequels.
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Mr. Matthew's offerings to other readers for their reading pleasure.

Adam Drake series

I enjoyed this series, it has great characters, good technical knowledge and a good plot. The big problem I had with it was the editing. Many mistakes made for glaring stops in the story flow. I'm talking about left out words, inserted extra words, many, many missed or incorrect pronouns.

Another terrific addition to the series!

This series hooked me from the very beginning with it's action packed, suspenseful stories. Each book is unique, intriguing, humorous, and so much more. It's a wonderful thriller series that's a definite must read.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

So many errors.....

I lost count of the number of wrong words (were instead of we're; our instead of are etc etc) typos, missing apostrophes.....it was appalling.
Not a bad story, though.

Stories continue to interesting

The characters and stories keep me coming back, but number of either missing or incorrect words is really bringing the quality of the book down.
