Jake Adams is pulled back into the shadow game in central Europe, where a young Austrian Polizei woman has gone missing. Jake saved Anika Senka when she was a young girl, a refugee from the Balkan Wars of the 90s. Now, a murder in Innsbruck, Austria and the disappearance of his young friend, draws Jake into a case of international intrigue. He barely gets to Austria when the shooting begins, and Jake quickly realizes this is not a simple missing person case. The complex world of countries in the European Union clash with underworld organizations exploiting a void of normalcy. With Sirena at Jake’s side, they must navigate this new world and peel away the layers of bureaucracy as they battle complicit governments and opportunistic organized criminals, turning normally sedate Alpine villages into a war zone. Will Jake survive his own frustrations, along with the bullets of his enemies? “A damned good writer.”—David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author. “I enjoyed it very much. . .akin to Ludlum and Higgins. . .your background and writing skill should make this one a slam dunk. . .”—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. Extreme Faction takes the reader around the world, into different cultures, lifestyles and ideals with flawless ease. I’d recommend this adventure highly.”—Duluth News-Tribune “Extreme Faction is fast-paced, realistic, and more than a bit frightening.

Solid story continues

it's a good storyline that follows today's headlines Jake Adams has been through a lot that's good to see that he found someone and that the storyline can continue for us. I'll look forward to reading the next in the series.
