Five years after Michael "The Tyrant" Tiranno saved Las
Vegas from a terrorist attack, he faces something even more
malevolent in the form of Vladimir Dracu, the evil leader
of an all-powerful criminal organization called Black
Scorpion. Holding much of Eastern Europe in a grip of fear,
Black Scorpion has cornered the market on human trafficking
worldwide. For reasons known only to himself, Dracu is
personally orchestrating Michael's destruction -- and
everything Michael holds close.
For the past several years, Michael has funded Scarlett
Swan's search for an archaeological relic related to a
mystery handed down by his family. So far, her digs have
yielded nothing, until now. Scarlett believes she has
finally uncovered the means to prove that one of the
world's greatest legends is actually true. However, her dig
site in Romania is attacked, and her team is massacred.
Even though she manages to escape to a nearby town, it does
not take long for the Black Scorpion to locate Scarlett and
kidnap her.
While Michael is dealing with a Nevada Gaming Control Board
hearing, the ramifications of an inexplicable power outage
all over Las Vegas, as well as the bizarre death of a guest
at his luxurious hotel, he receives a desperate, hurried
call from Scarlett for help. Since Michael is responsible
for sending the woman he loves on this dangerous quest, he
has to find her. What Michael encounters in his rescue
efforts, and what he discovers about the Black Scorpion and
his own past will prove more unsettling than anything he
could have ever imagined. Is Michael facing his downfall as
the truth of his past is revealed -- or is something else in
store for him?

Tyrant” Tiranno, Jon Land's Black Scorpion is a
pulse-pounding action-thriller as he takes on a worldwide
human trafficking cabal.
Five years have passed since Michael Tiranno saved the city
of Las Vegas from a terrorist attack. And now a new enemy
has surfaced in Eastern Europe in the form of an all-
powerful organization called Black Scorpion. Once a victim
of human trafficking himself, the shadowy group’s crazed
leader, Vladimir Dracu, has become the mastermind behind
the scourge’s infestation on a global scale. And now he’s
set his sights on Michael Tiranno for reasons birthed in a
painful secret past that have scarred both men.
Already facing a myriad of problems, Michael once more must
rise to the challenge of confronting an all-powerful enemy
who is exploiting and ravaging innocents all across the
globe and has set nothing less than all of America as its
new victim. Black Scorpion has also taken the woman Michael
loves hostage: Scarlett Swan, a beautiful archaeologist who
was following the dangerous trail of the origins of the
ancient relic that both defines and empowers Michael, a
discovery that could change history and the perception of
mankind’s very origins.
With the deck and the odds stacked against him, Michael
must come to learn and embrace his true destiny in becoming
the Tyrant reborn as a dark knight to triumph over ultimate
evil and stop the sting of Black Scorpion from undermining
all of the United States and plunging Las Vegas into chaos
and anarchy.
