A former CIA covert agent dubbed Scorpion is now operating
as a freelance spy when he finds himself in a precarious
position. Two incidents, though seeming to have no
connection and occurring thousands of miles apart, cause
him to team up with a foreign agent to protect an important
Ukrainian official from being killed.
But nothing goes smoothly in the world of espionage, and
Scorpion soon finds himself ensnared in a dangerous
situation battling an anonymous enemy. Not knowing who he
can trust and with time slipping away, Scorpion is doing
everything humanly possible to avert events that could lead
to annihilation of the entire world.
With rapid-fire narrative and a complex plot, Andrew
Kaplan gives readers a truly intriguing and engaging
spy thriller with SCORPION WINTER.
In the frozen wastes of Siberia, a silver artifact is stolen
from a dead man . . . In the Middle East, the carefully
planned strike on a terrorist leader goes disastrously wrong
. . . Two seemingly unrelated incidents have placed the
former CIA covert operative-turned-freelance spy, code-named
Scorpion, in a desperate position: joining forces with a
beautiful woman to prevent the assassination of a powerful
Ukrainian politician.
But treachery breeds terror in the long shadow of a
dangerous Russia, as Scorpion finds himself caught in a
lethal trap sprung by an unknown enemy—perhaps someone on
his own side of the game. And now time is ticking rapidly
away with the whole world balancing on a knife's edge, just
days from the opening salvos of a catastrophic war that
could leave the earth itself in ruins.
