The Stone of Archimedes

Jake Adams International Thriller #8

by Trevor Scott

Jake Adams finds himself in a Tunisian prison, being held for murdering an international terrorist who happens to be well connected in that country. When a mysterious man suddenly shows up to offer him a get out of jail free card, Jake is a bit suspicious. But what choice does he have? To secure his release all he has to do is one favor for a wealthy Texas senator-find his sister who is missing somewhere in Europe. No problem. When Jake picks up a tail almost immediately after leaving Tunisia, he quickly discovers that this case might not be as easy as it seems. The case takes Jake across Italy, from Rome to the catacombs of Sicily, and finally to a harrowing rescue that could get him killed.

Fatuous patronizing sexual

This could be a pretty good book. A bit farfetched, but most thrillers are.

But the pandering patronizing fatuous writing about sex destroyed the book. I skipped the 2nd half. Sad

Jake Adams

I really enjoy reading this series. I wish the author would keep the history of Jake true to the previous books the collection. Other than that great book.

The Stone of Archimedes

The Stone of Archimedes

Fascinating idea for a story line with the ties to history and today. As usual, Jake does his thing with the ladies and the bad guys in a rush to the end after zigging and zagging through numerous switches in plot and action. A good read as long as you're not too concerned with reason

Good read

Another enjoyable Jake Adams tale. If you like the series, you'll enjoy this one. I do like the series overall but think the author plays a bit fast and loose with the character histories.
