Entirely revised and updated for the electronic book edition, 2011.
Heat Sync is an exciting but non-traditional thriller that deeply probes the emotions and psychology of a patriotic killer.
Recruited from SEALS to join Jaspers, a covert military force, Henry Thompson believes he’s training to assassinate foreign threats to this country. Only after he graduates and gets his orders does he realize that his true mission is to kill the President of the United States by using the White House access his girlfriend provides, and that he’s already too boxed in by his handlers to refuse.
Heat Sync takes you through the U.S. Assassination School exposed by a National News magazine (USA) just prior to this first novel's publication.
Learn the pain and process of sanctioned murder from LT. Henry Thompson, who was recruited for JASPERS from the U.S. Navy SEALS.

About the author
Wes Demott
10 books4 followersI was 19 when I first escaped over an international border. Mexican Federales stormed into a bloody brawl at a crappy bar deep inside Juarez, and I stopped fighting to bolt down the stairs. A fast moving parade of uniforms chased this gringo through crowded streets as they blasted their whistles in warning of a bullet in the back.
I absolutely loved that feeling and have been jumping borders ever since, usually with a legal visa, sometimes with a black market one, and occasionally with no cover-of-authority at all (I'm not good with rules). I've jumped for governments and security clients, but mostly out of my own lust for adventure, and I've always done it alone. That is until my beautiful, brainy, Belgian wife – a war-zone veteran who's fluent in several languages and can drive just about anything with wheels – teamed up with me.
I'm Wes DeMott and I'm an adventurer. I can't help myself. My dad laid out the pattern and my mom sewed the seams. I've broken dozens of bones and required hundreds of stitches to close wounds, but I still live for the metal taste that only comes when excitement barely outpaces genuine fear. Add an ocean to that exotic flavor and I'm happier than a kid with an ant farm.
I'm also an award-winning, international bestselling novelist. I don't write stories about outer space or werewolves because I don't know squat about either one, but like Hemingway and London before me, you can bet your last canteen of water that I'm pretty damn familiar with everything you'll read in my books. To adventure, my friend…Wes
enough to try. Tortuga Gold reflects a fun new chapter in Wes’s own life as he’s joined in his adventures by his beautiful Belgian wife.

I usually can't afford the time for fictional thrillers, but this one was worth it. It felt like a prequel to The Bourne Identity.

Despite being written in 2009, addressing issues that resonate just as strongly in today’s world. Though the violence was intense at times, it served to underline the story’s themes and never overshadowed its deeper messages. A thought-provoking and well-crafted read overall.
