Fresh Fiction Review

Scorpion Winter
Andrew Kaplan

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter
Posted July 16, 2012

Thriller

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.

SUMMARY

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.
