Scorpion Deception Audiobook Summary

In Switzerland, a brutally efficient hit squad storms the U.S. embassy, stealing classified files and leaving no witnesses alive. Under intense political pressure to find those behind the attack–with Congressional leaders demanding military action–the CIA turns to the deadliest agent they know: Scorpion. But Scorpion is unwilling to get involved . . . until he learns his name is at the top of one of the stolen lists.

What Scorpion uncovers sends the CIA scrambling: evidence linking the attack to an unknown Iranian power broker known as “the Gardener.” Scorpion follows the trail to Zurich and Barcelona, where he meets his match in Scale, an agent as lethal as the viper that is his namesake. A deadly dance of deception ensues, bringing Scorpion into Tehran’s inner circle, but not even the political elite know who the Gardener is–or what his next move might be.

Six weeks out of a mission in the Soviet Union, and having turned freelance, former CIA agent codenamed Scorpion finds himself in Africa on a relief mission that turns deadly. In Switzerland, a hit team raids the American embassy and steals information listing names of government officials from various departments and agents...including Scorpion’s. The blame falls on Iran and as America gears up for possible war, Scorpion is pulled back into the espionage game to discover the truth. One enigmatic name surfaces: the Gardener. As Scorpion battles both time and enemy agents, the discoveries he makes may determine not only his fate but they may have international repercussions.I read the previous Scorpion novel and was ready for more. This one roams from Africa to Spain to Iran and the action never stops. What other book will have you dodging bullets on the street of Paris before rolling you down a snow covered mountain outside of Tehran? Kaplan is an author you can depend on for a fast moving, no nonsense story with a few twists and turns to keep you guessing. Feel the sting of the Scorpion and put Kaplan on the list of authors to read.Reviewed by Stephen Brayton, author of “Alpha” for Suspense Magazine

This is the most recent offering in the Scorpion series, Andrew Kaplan's cerebral spy stories with a reluctant hero who cannot escape his violent past. Ties to the CIA and earlier to an elite military unit keep drawing him back into a life of mind-boggling violence. He thought he was safe assisting relief efforts in North Africa, until ahighly trained group of commandos storms an embassy, killing everyone and capturing a list of American agents placed under deep cover. Scorpion's name is high on the list. After following false leads pointing to Iran, Scorpion traces the attack to an operative named Scane, a man just as lethal as he is, but is he the man behind the attack--an enigma code named The Gardner? The fast paced action pits the Scorpion against Skane, and ultimately the man the Scorpion believes to bethe Gardner, but there are certain contradictions and he is not sure. Kaplan's artfully constructed suspense keeps us hanging to the final page...and beyond. I just cannot give this book anything less than a five star, and I cannot send as message to Kaplan other than a plea to write faster. I am waiting!

Normally I'm a historical crime fiction reader but I thought I take a break with these scorpion series as I can't find many of my preferred authors... C'mon CJ Samson.. But all I can say about this scorpion series is I want MORE!!

I hoped there would be more Scorpion novels to come - and now Mr Kaplan forced himself to write at least another one. Great job!

Scorpion Deception Best in the Series Great twists and turns keep you reading so you can't put down. Scorpion always has slot of action going on, never a dull moment. Its also a thrilling spy mystery with a bit of romance amid the job duties of a freelance good guy assassin. The is a great series, one of my favorites. Glad I found Andrew Kaplan the author. Bring us more.

I can't imagine that there won't be any follow-up of the Scorpion series. So many threads of Scorpion Deception have been left open. Please, Andrew Kaplan!W ataku na ambasadę amerykańską w Bernie giną ludzie, a w ręce terrorystów dostaje się lista czynnych agentów wywiadu. Jest na niej również Skorpion. Ślady prowadzą do Iranu, gdzie działa zleceniodawca zamachowców o kryptonimie Ogrodnik. Wszystko wskazuje na to, że Iran przygotowuje się do wojny z Ameryką. Czy Skorpionowi uda się zdemaskować irański spisek i zapobiec wojnie?Treść czwartego tomu cyklu o Skorpionie jest jeszcze bardziej zakręcona niż było to w poprzednich częściach. Rzeczywiście, wszyscy oszukują tu wszystkich, stąd zapewne tytuł powieści. Jako czytelnik też czuję się trochę oszukana. Jest bowiem tak, że pobyt Skorpiona w Iranie jest niby szczegółowo relacjonowany, łącznie ze wszystkimi jego rozmowami i przemyśleniami. Aż tu nagle okazuje się, że nie do końca tak było...Trudno coś więcej napisać o zawartości książki, aby nie były to spoilery. Może tylko warto zadać pytanie, czy Skorpion natrafił wreszcie na godnego siebie przeciwnika i czy ich pojedynek będzie kontynuowany? Z tym ostatnim jednak mogą być pewne kłopoty, jako że Oszustwo Skorpiona to ostatnia część serialu. Chyba że Andrew Kaplan wywiąże się z obietnicy i jeszcze do swojego bohatera powróci. Ciekawiłoby mnie też, czy będzie ciąg dalszy najnowszego romansu Skorpiona. Tym bardziej, że afrykańskie losy Sandrine, francuskiej lekarki, w której szaleńczo się zakochał, to wątek równie ciekawy jak ten główny, szpiegowski.
