Special Counsel
One man must stop an attack no one sees comingΒ
Ex-Delta Force operator Adam Drake stumbles upon a plot to cripple America with an EMP attack. But when he isn't taken seriously, he's left to stop it himself.Β
The countdown is on. Failure is not an option.Β
A deadly EMP attack is planned for the United States with catastrophic consequences. Anarchy, looting, and the ultimate breakdown of law & order will surely follow the mass disruption of electronic systems. Russia and Iran have joined forces, training Hezbollah to launch the offensive from an unlikely location in the Southern Hemisphere.
Adam Drake stumbles upon the plot while negotiating a contract in Nicaragua. Spotting suspicious missile launchers disguised as cargo containers, Drake's warnings go unheeded by the U.S. embassy. As an armed convoy departs with the containers, heading north, Drake realizes he's the only one who can stop the imminent attack. With time running out, he must rely on his skills to prevent the unthinkable.
A fast-paced, action-packed thriller with a plot that could be tomorrow's headline.

About the Author
Scott Matthews lives in Oregon, where he met his wife, attended the University of Oregon and earned degrees in Journalism and Law. He served in the Oregon National Guard, first as a CBR Specialist and later as a JAG officer. That's the bare bones of his Bio. The rest of the story is that he got hooked reading Ian Fleming's James Bond novels at an early age and has read just about everything in that genre since then. He outlined stories he intended to write for years before he finally sat down and wrote THE ASSASSIN'S LIST, the start of the Adam Drake Thriller series. He likes wine, especially wine from Oregon's wine country, fishing and hunting and following Formula One racing. And, of course, reading thrillers.
