Summary: A Book I Couldn't Put Down!
Comment: I've had this book sitting around for a while, but somehow it, and the sequel, HURRICANE, got put under a pile of books that my sister and I brought back from a library sale. A buck a back for paperbacks, that's a lot of books to be buried under. However, fortunately last week my boyfriend helped me put in some floor to ceiling bookshelves in the two car garage that I'd converted into library, so now all my books are organized and I have finally been able to read this excellent thriller by Jack Stewart. Of course, my car has to live on the street now, but you can't have everything.
DEA agent Bill Broxton has been given an impossible task, protect the Prime Minister of Trinidad from an assassin's bullet. Impossible, because Prime Minister Ramsingh doesn't want American protection. Protection he needs, because he is cracking down against the Salizar drug cartel in his country and the Salizars have been using Trinidad as a staging area to get their drugs into the United States. The American government has found out that the Salizars have hired the Scorpion, an international assassin, to finish off Ramsingh, but apparently the PM isn't that impressed. He believes his minister of justice can handle his security as well, if not better than the Americans. However, unknown to Ramsingh, Justice Minister Chandee is thick as thieves with the Salizars and is the man behind hiring the Scorpion, who is actually the daughter of the American Ambassador and also the woman Broxton loves.
And there you have the makings of a book that I just couldn't put down. Mr. Stewart had me from page one when the bomb went off in the plane. What a harrowing opening. I felt like I was right there on that wild and dangerous ride. I thought I'd faint when the oxygen masks came down. What a story, I can't wait to start HURRICANE. But hold on! I don't have to wait, I can start it right now. Oh, well, no sleep for Lenore this weekend.

Summary: An Adventure That Kept Me Reading My Sunday Away
Comment: Bill Broxton has been assigned to watch and protect Trinidad's Prime Minister Ramsingh from Columbian drug lords who want him dead. However Ramsingh prefers to rely on his Justice Minister and his department for his protection. Unknown to Ramsingh, said Justice Minister has hired the Scorpion, an international fugitive and assassin, to kill the prime minister. And unknown to Broxton, the girl he wants to marry is the Scorpion.
Fortunately for Broxton another woman comes into his life. Unfortunately for him the other woman's husband joins forces with the Scorpion in this action adventure that kept me reading away on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. Mr. Stewart has penned an adventure that you can't go wrong reading and his characters will live with you long after you've finished the book.

Summary: The Girl of His Dreams is a Scorpion
Comment: The Scorpion has been contracted to kill the Prime Minister of Trinidad. DEA agent Bill Broxton has been assigned to protect him. Dani Street is the daughter of the American Ambassador. Broxton is in love with her, but what he doesn't know is that she is the Scorpion. Can he save the prime minister from the woman he wants to marry?
Everybody is always trying to kill the President of the United States. You know what I mean, there must be hundreds, if not thousands of books out there where someone is trying to assassinate the prez. The fate of the free world hangs in the balance while, Dirk Pitt, James Bond or Jack Ryan race fate, bullets and bombs to save the big guy before he becomes toast. And while Messrs. Cussler, Fleming and Clancy, masters of their craft to be sure, write wonderful books, it was refreshing to read a thriller that swept me away to the kind of places you only think about when you see the posters on your travel agent's walls, refreshing for me and I think it'll be refreshing for you.
