Book Description

Some secrets are worth dying over.

From the abhorrent and sadistic human testing conducted by the Nazis during World War II, a terrible virus with the potential to ravage the human body is discovered. Recognizing its promising lethality, a band of German scientists are sent on a clandestine mission—Operation Scorpion's Nest— into the American southwest to unleash it upon the population of the United States.

One near miss and 70 years later, Scott Kretschmer, an unemployed aircraft mechanic, witnesses a violent bank robbery. Uninterested in money, the thieves only took one thing: the last remaining logbook from the Nazi operation. Scott suddenly finds himself plunged into a race against time as a corrupt pharmaceutical company with a Nazi past works to replicate the virus, with plans to release it upon the world as the only provider of the antidote.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Scorpion's Nest was just a completely masterful rendition of storytelling." -IndieReader 

"In terms of sheer readability, Granzow delivers in spades. (He's) an author that knows his craft, and given the strength of his debut work, I can only predict that future installments will further establish his obvious credibility in the trade." -Steven Hildreth, Jr., bestselling author of THE FIRST BAYONET

"The narration was interesting, the plot--packed from cover to cover, and all flashes from the past--logically tied to the present day. It's a breeze to read and the twists and turns of the story will keep you entertained." -Books and Things book review blog

"Well-written narrative. Telling details. Gripping tension. I'm hooked." -M.E. Anders, Author of the PREY TO THE GODS series

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, good read October 9, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Scorpion's Nest is a wonderfully visual novel. Nate Granzow's writing is very descriptive in painting his scenes perfectly without being boring or going overboard in his details.

The story has its beginnings in WWII but the majority of the action takes place in present day, but he maintains the integrity of the story by having the original theme woven throughout the storyline.

The book moves at a good pace and the actions scenes are exciting. He has a very believable main character that is far from perfect and has his own troubles to deal with along with those of trying to save the world.

The book is a good, solid read and if you enjoy this type of genre, then you should enjoy Scorpion's Nest. A Strong 4 out of 5 stars and two thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot and Story September 22, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Had a little trouble getting into this book. At first I didn't think I was going to like it. The setting was, frankly, a bit boring. I didn't think I was going to be able to associate myself with any of the main characters. But that changed. As I got further in I began to appreciate more where the author was going with the story. I began to love the plot and towards the middle it turned into a page turner for me.

This is written in a style that isn't one of my favorites. I think the action should have been shared with the front of the book but I totally get why the author did it the way he did. In the end, I really like this book. It definitely lived up to its name and I certainly appreciate more the author's style.
