The Cold Edge

Jake Adams International Thriller #6

by Trevor Scott

America's new master of the international thriller is back with his next riveting Jake Adams thriller. When Jake's girlfriend Anna, an Interpol officer, has the two of them vacationing in Oslo, Norway, he has no idea he will get called back into the Network by his old Air Force commander and former CIA officer. Jake is asked to travel to Spitsbergen Island in Norway's Arctic Svalbard Archipelago, to retrieve the remains of a former officer killed there almost 20 years ago. Together Jake and Anna team up with a Norwegian Intelligence officer, who is both beautiful and deadly. What they find in the frozen permafrost leads them through Sweden and back to Norway's boreal forests, where they must confront a Cold War nemesis from the KGB, who is up to old tricks.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Became a fan of Scott, wasn't into espionage fiction but thought I'd try it. I've read all of the "Jake Adams" and liked them. Didn't care for the ending on this one though. If you like adventure, action and for the guys a reasonable body count, you'll like Scott.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

A totally different plot keeping, the characters fully involved but keeping the reader in suspense as to how they related to each other.

The reason I gave what might be considered a mediocre rating was that even though it was an interesting book there seemed to be too many players who roles were not necessary to the plot. But I did enjoy the geography references which helped identify the region.
