Lethal Force

Jake Adams International Thriller #9

by Trevor Scott

Jake Adams has seemingly retired and gone fly fishing in Patagonia. But his quiet retreat is interrupted when the Agency sends a man to retrieve him to testify before a congressional committee. His testimony quickly becomes an internet sensation—not a good thing for an autonomous operative. Meanwhile, a college professor is murdered in Oregon and his colleague is nearly killed, sending him running for his life. Jake is drawn back into the shadowy world of espionage to retrive this professor in Montana and secure his new technology that will make nuclear weapons obsolete.

Eventually, Jake finds himself in South Korea in a battle for his life to secure the technology, save a beautiful congresswoman, and stop a cabal of agents from a despotic regime and misguided opportunists. Follow Jake in his most poignant adventure that could either end his life or save his own soul.

First Jake Adams book for me

It was hard to put down without knowing what was going to happen next. And I love the geography that takes you around the world.

A surprise twist!

Again another page turner by Mr. Trevor Scott. Jake Adams is again reluctantly called on to help his country, and he does. Would recommend the complete series.

Good storyline and exciting plot

[Darius Cross · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good story...

As with the other Jake Adams tales, Mr. Scott crafted another fast paced action filled thriller in Lethal Force. I absolutely hate that he found it necessary to terminate one of the core characters but, the highly unexpected twist at the end almost makes up for it.

Good read!

Lethal Force

Not sure what could have been done to get me to give this book a higher rating. I felt it had all of the ingredients of a typical Jake Adams thriller and perhaps that was the problem. It was a Trevor Scott story without any surprises and was too predictable. I will have to try another to see if he gets back to the twists and turns that kept me interested initially.

Electrifying

Trevor Scott's Jake Adams series is riveting. Lethal Force was true to the previous name veils. I was glued to the pages anxious for the next obstacle to be overcome.

Only the best

Jake Adams spent all his time either getting into trouble or getting out of it. His big problem was that he would usually lose a wonderful woman who had helped him and loved him and whom he also loved. But he got the ones who did the bad deed.
