The Deterrent by Scott Matthews is a gripping tale where terrorists engineer a deadly virus to blackmail the U.S., and only one man can stop them. When a researcher's daughter is kidnapped and her father’s lethal H7N9 sample is handed over to the terrorists, Drake, an ex-Special Forces operator, takes the case without the FBI's help.

Racing against time, Drake must navigate a treacherous landscape of ruthless adversaries and hidden agendas to rescue the girl and prevent a global catastrophe. His skills and instincts are put to the ultimate test as he fights to outmanoeuvre his enemies and stop the virus from being unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.

This fast-paced, action-packed thriller boasts a plot that could become 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.
