Terminal Force

by Trevor Scott

Jake Adams gets a heads up from an old colleague that the Chinese Communist Party has put out a hit on him. This isn’t a new concept for Jake to comprehend. Many have come for him in the past, killing those closest to him. But now Jake has too much to lose. He must retreat and regroup before going on the offense. With Sirena’s help, along with a cast of characters from his past, Jake takes it to his enemies in the most brutal counter-offensive he has ever launched. From the unforgiving frigid darkness of Greenland, to the snowy Alps where the elite of the world meet, Jake must overcome remarkable odds to survive this final showdown between the forces of good over the evil of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. Will Jake finally find peace, or will this be his terminal mission?

“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

“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.”—Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon

“Fatal Network is a masterfully written, splendidly executed, superb thriller.

Reviews

[David A. Rosow · Rating 3 out of 5]

I apparently should have read the previous novels

An okay book, with a complicated and not fully developed plot. It required, I believe, more depth for the characters, other than their sexual overdrive. I prefer Christopher Rosow’s book with Ben Porter as the hero. They are, False Assurances, Threat Bias, Subversive Addiction and Vital Deception.

Another great story

Great to have another Adams book. Fast paced and could not put down. Glad to see a book with his son Karl in it. Nice rap up of old characters. Sorry to see him retire. Hope there are more Karl novels

[Peter Strauss]

Another Great one

Very exciting and entertaining with a great storyline and coming together of characters from Jake's past. The ending was a bit too abrupt otherwise it would've been 5 stars! Sorry to see Jake hanging'm up but I'm sure he'll make appearances in Karl's future.

[Carl Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great fast read, some new characters

Great storyline & plot, several new characters, as well as bringing father Jake & son Karl together on a mission. I liked the idea of a team concept to solve a multi faceted problem. Highly recommend this book.
