This fast-paced tale of genetic engineering and biological warfare has all the heart-pounding suspense of a Tom Clancy blockbuster. As a new believer, gene-splicing technician Tamara Mack is fascinated with God's message and His presence in her life. But when she's instructed to graft the AIDS virus onto an airborne particle, her refusal exposes a terrorist plot threatening everyone on earth. Working from the outside, Ethan Hamilton and his counter-cyberterrorism team struggle to help Tamara defeat a terrorist force that can destroy civilization.

WYSIWYG--What You See Is What You Get!,
By
This review is from: Fatal Defect (Ethan Hamilton Technothrillers Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
One look at this book and I was intrigued. Then, a moment of doubt clouded my purchasing-decision-mode--could I judge this book by its cover? I've been wrong before. I purchased it anyway, and no, I wasn't disappointed. WYSIWYG...I've come to count on Scott's novels for cyber-action, leavened with humor, sprinkled with a pinch of Christian lessons, and full of likeable characters. Gillette and Hamilton's interaction is always enjoyable, as is Hamilton's relationship with his family. Like Tom Clancy's character, Jack Ryan, Ethan Hamilton keeps climbing the professional ladder, finding greater demand for his skills in each novel. I hope their are more rungs to this ladder. It's not everyday I find well-written Christian fiction, but Jefferson Scott's novels are worth it. If you can't locate them, keep looking. Blame me if you're disappointed.

A Christian stands between terrorists and biological warfare,
By John L. Guy (jguy@disc.dla.mil) (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fatal Defect (Ethan Hamilton Technothrillers Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
The third novel by Jefferson Scott is a winner. Ethan Hamilton and FBI Agent Mike Gillette, along with an elite group of anti-cyberterrorist warriors from every security department of the government match wits with an unholy alliance of bioengineers, mideast terrorists, and the mysterious White Corporation. The story heats up when the hero, Ethan Hamilton, finds himself trapped on a remote Pacific island when terrorists take over. Then, armed only with his computer savvy and faith in God's guidance and shelter, he must do everything in his power to keep biological weapons from ever leaving the island. This book is gripping from the opening offensive against an organization bombing nursing homes to the final headlong rush through the eye of a hurricane and the battle against heavily armed fanatics. Amid all of the excitement runs the current of the power of trust in God and the internal battles that cause questions in both the newly saved and the lifelong faithful. ! {On a side note: It's refreshing to read a book where the author is able to keep obscenity and extreme violence implied rather than printed and still make you aware of its ugliness. The vilest characters were rendered believable without the writing having to sink into the gutter.} This is Jefferson Scott's best work to date and makes one eager for his next. He has created wonderfully developed characters; some of whom you would love to have as friends and others that you pray to God you will never meet. Worth the time if you want to read it as a cyberthriller, an action thriller, a wholesome adventure or all three. For the last third of the book, I couldn't put it down.

An exciting read,
By "airys" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fatal Defect (Ethan Hamilton Technothrillers Trilogy #3) (Paperback)
A worthy continuation in the Ethan Hamilton Saga with one marked difference: more of an emphasis on genetics. Now the director of his own counter-cyberterrorism team, Ethan discovers something about a cutting-edge company in the genetic manipulation sector. GeneSys is creating an airborn version of botulism -- for a terrorist group...and they've disappeared from GlobeNet. The only hope of stopping the terrorists from obtaining it is through an inside person - gene-splicing technician Tamara Mack, a new Christian struggling to reconcile her faith with her job.The book is full of action, as in the previous two, but the scenes are mostly played out in the 'real world'. There are still the wonderful moments when Ethan can cyber-kick the bad guys...and there's plenty of humor for all. There is more than one antagonist; one in reality as well as one in cyberspace...which makes for quite thrilling reading. The story is solid and the concepts well researched -- I'd love to see this one made into a movie. If nothing else, get it for its jacket -- the cover art is truly creative.
