READER’S GUIDE

The mission is over; the retaliation comes home

The Scorpion Sting by Stephen Francis Montagna is a special forces military thriller (Scorpion Trilogy). The mission is over. The retaliation has only begun.

The Scorpion Sting continues where Eagle’s Talon ended. President Saddam Hussein sends another Iraqi terrorist group into the United States with two targets: the operative captured in Iraq and brought to America to stand trial, and the American troops who went in to take him prisoner.

Walker and his Special Forces troops have to find the cell working inside the country and end the threat to the soldiers, which turns the aftermath of one mission into a hunt on home ground. The editorial review published with the novel, by Daniel P. Whitaker, describes a terrorist cell operating within the United States from the opening prologue and calls the book a compelling blend of action, realism and geopolitical intrigue.
