Rising Tiger

Jake Adams International Thriller #10

by Trevor Scott

When the former Deputy Director of the CIA, Bill Remington, takes off after charges of selling secrets to the Chinese, Jake Adams is hired off the books to find the rogue Agency officer. But with many friends in the Agency, and money siphoned to numerous off-shore accounts, this will not be an easy task. In fact, Remington has managed to hide for nearly a month without the Agency, Interpol, or any foreign agencies discovering his location. Jake finds himself in Taiwan, where he is attacked almost immediately and set up as a murderer. At the same time, a Chinese jet attacks a Taiwanese Navy ship, bringing the two Chinese countries to the brink of war. Jake races against time to uncover a conspiracy of factions trying to use this crisis to their advantage. Will Jake bring this traitor to justice before the Pacific Rim goes up in flames? With bullets flying from all directions, Jake’s adventure in Southeast Asia could be his last battle.

As always a very good read

I've read all of the Jake Adams books in order so far being up to 11 after this one I can say it's a great series of books. If you like action and espionage I recommend the series.

[Laura Poppenwimer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action packed thriller with a plot that is engaging and hard to put down. The characters are well developed and interesting, both the good ones and the evil ones. The plot did turn in n unexpected direction and the ending tied up most of the loose ends.

Another good Jake Adams adventure

[Ben Pashkoff · Rating 3 out of 5]

stumbled on this while looking for one with same title, different author ("same same but different "). actually more than a bit trite with predictable action and personal scenes.

Rising Tiger

Pretty plain in language and story line without a lot of self analysis, it made a true time killer for just plain reading. I will look for others by Scott if I just want to relax.

Special Ops for Beginners...

...would be more like it.
Trevor Scott writes a gripping tale if you happen to be gripped as easily as a fourth grader. Perhaps he read a Brad Thor novel and thought, "I could do that." But of course, he cannot.

Another Success!

Trevor Scott continues to write a story that is exciting & plausible-. Great work! I look forward to the next Jake Adams adventure.
