A definite must read book and series!!!

It's because of books like this that I truly wish it was possible to give more than 5 stars. Mr. Scott is an extremely talented author who has the ability to masterfully build the anticipation, emotions, adrenaline, as well as so much more in every story he creates. His stories are unique, thrilling, exciting, intense, suspenseful, a bit crazy at times (Lol!!), absolutely hilarious, emotional, with intriguing twists and turns that will hook you from beginning to the very end. I love the unconventional family that this series has created, and I am always looking forward to the next release!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

Thomas Scott awesome author

Another winner from TS. I just can’t read his books slowly. Virgil and his gang are the best. I give all his books a 5. I’m always waiting for the next one and they get better and better. I stop what ever book I’m reading when I hear from him that a new book is out
. I’m never disappointed. I recommend this series to all you law and order freaks out there.

Another thriller

Scott’s done it again! Outstanding continuation of the best novels I’ve read in quite sometime..and I’ve read many! The Virgil saga is totally mesmerizing! Characters are well drawn and memorable. The “family” becomes the reader’s best friends and the action never stops! Totally immersed in this series. What’s next?

A great addition to an even great series

State of Time is another fantastic book in the Virgil Jones series. Thomas Scott knows how to keep you interested through every page turn. The way every single piece of the story can tie to a past book or lead into a future one is simply incredible. The next book cannot come soon and will surely not take anywhere long enough to enjoy!

Love this series

Have all the books and look forward to the next one. Only problem I have is they need to be 1000 pages long. Then I wouldn't have to worry about sleeping. I could just read and read.

I have read them all and just like the others this one does not disappoint. Now I just have to wait for #21. If you enjoy a good story that is told at a good pace then I would highly recommend this entire series. Thank you again Mr. Scott.
