 HYPERSHOT
By Trevor Scott
In a time when the U.S. military
is shrinking, our leaders are turning to high technology
as a force equalizer. America has not had a new hand-held
rifle since the M16 was introduced in the 1960s. Now
there’s
a new gun ready to take its position as the NATO standard.
A gun so sophisticated, so fast, so unbelievably accurate,
it will turn the average shooter into an expert marksman
almost instantly. The problem is, it was developed
by a German company with no U.S. production contract.
That’s
where Warfield Arms, a Denver gun company, enters
the action. Warfield hires Chad Hunter, a private
weapons designer who had worked for the German company,
to go to Germany to convince the company that Warfield
is the perfect partner. To sweeten the deal, Hunter
must first convince Frank Baldwin, a struggling optics
engineer from Wyoming, who has developed the most
advanced rifle scope ever conceived, that his scope
would be the perfect match for this new German rifle.
With the scope as bait, the Germans would surely deal.
What Hunter and Baldwin find in Germany during the
middle of the Oktoberfest celebration, could just
get them both killed. Other countries and private
factions would like this new weapon, and some in Germany
want it only for that country. There’s
murder, kidnapping, extortion, and shoot-outs....
Who said the end of the Cold War wouldn't be any fun?

“Reminiscent
of Ludlum's "Bourne" series, in Hypershot author Scott
brings his own weapons and military expertise to play
in a convincing thrill-ride of a plot.”--Driving
Force Magazine
“Mr.
Scott brings his powerful and prestigious experience
into play with his newest thriller, Hypershot. Mr.
Scott utilizes his usual arsenal of literary techniques
to build Hypershot into a first-class thriller: pacing,
effective love interests, compelling characters finding
themselves in unusual and deadly circumstances, clear
and effective dialogue, and just plain thrilling circumstances.
His settings are reminiscent of James Bond. A great
fourth book!”--The
