Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Nance's overly technical thriller describes an American strike force's efforts to trace a secret biological weapons facility in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

From AudioFile

As the audiobook market enlarges, publishers are reviving earlier titles of successful authors. John J. Nance's SCORPION STRIKE is one such offering. The story takes place just after Operation Desert Storm ends when a run away Iraqi scientist reveals Saddam Hussein is about to unleash "the mother of all biological weapons" on an unsuspecting world. Nance's thriller is exciting but predictable. Brian Emerson's reading is more than satisfactory, but his matter-of-fact voice is not charged with the excitement the book engenders. Nonetheless, neither the story nor Emerson strikes out. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of action to go around, Aug 3 2001
By Sonterro (Lakeland, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scorpion Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a good book. A little predictable and corny at times, but the overall plot was a good one. There were several small stories all happening at the same time. Nance kept you hopping from one group of characters to the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scorpion Strike- by John J. Nance, Jan 27 2001
This review is from: Scorpion Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
Scorpion Strike may start off a little slow, but a few chapters in, the action picks up its pace to the point where you cannot put it down. I turned the pages of this book very quickly, wanting to see what the next event would be. The flight scenes are very realistic and full of technical details that a reader educated in aviation would enjoy, but still understandable for readers that don't know aviation jargon. I recommend this book to anybody.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scorpion Strike, April 15 2000
By Chris Shryock (Naha, Okinawa Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scorpion Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
Scorpion Strike is the first book I have read by John Nance, but it will certainly not be the last. As one of the foremost experts on avaition safety in the world (you always see him interviewed on Seattle TV after a major airline accident) Mr. Nance does a brilliant job of detailing all aspects of aviation. Not being an airplane enthusiast like the author , I did get a little lost with some of the terminology. But even then I never lost the sense of suspence and desperation the characters felt as they carry out there mission. Though probably a little too technical for the casual reader, this book has all the makings of a NY Times bestseller.
