SCORPION II Plot Description




After a terrorist bombing in the former Soviet Union kills two Americans, the CIA brings independent contractor Avery back into the fold.

He jumps at the chance to return to the field, because among the casualties is a friend and a former teammate. His search for answers will put him in pursuit of an old enemy and pit him against a dangerous new opponent, an elusive and mysterious spetsnaz-trained operator who is every bit as determined and lethal as Avery.

From the frontlines of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, to the remote mountains of the Caucasus, and to a high altitude parachute jump from 35,000 feet, Avery will work alongside CIA paramilitary operators, mercenaries, and Special Forces soldiers to wage a campaign of shadow warfare against a hostile power eager to destabilize a strategically important Western ally.

Almost there

I'm nearly finished with the edits on SCORPION II, but it's slow-going since this monster is nearly 130,000 words long, over 40,000 longer than SCORPION and VIPER, and I'm trying to take my time with this because it's easy to overlook mistakes, factual/technical errors, and typos when you're re-reading something you've spent so much time on and are so familiar with.

Hopefully, the holiday weekend will be productive, because I'm going to be very tempted to drop everything when the new Vince Flynn and Dalton Fury books come out this Tuesday.  

In the mean time, if you're looking for something to read over the long weekend, I highly recommend  you check out Steven Hildreth's The Ronin Genesis.
