Vital Force by Trevor Scott is the second book by Scott I have read. He doesn't disappoint. There is plenty of action and country hopping to encourage all espionage fans. It makes you wonder if this is something all spooks do or if they're tiers of experience levels in real life. This starts out ...
She was forced to knock a few times before a groggy Austrian Polizei man shuffled to the door. He looked like crap. There was no other way to say it. She went ahead of him to start on coffee, while Franz took a long shower to clear his lungs of infected sputum and blood. He was moving into a pneu...
She wasn’t sure what that meant, but also had no time to make contact with her handler to find out what to do. But something was up.

Its position so close to the Equator gave it a constant temperature near ninety degrees, a sweltering heat that made it impossible to keep a shirt dry. Jake had been to Singapore a number of times, mostly just passing through on his way to another mission, and he found that the only change in the...
