Book One: The Patriot Paradox
When ex-CIA analyst Kurt Vetter receives a mysterious package of encrypted files from his dead brother, he's drawn back into the world of international intrigue he thought he had left behind forever.
The files lead him to London, where he meets Amanda Carter, an enigmatic woman from his brother's past. With Amanda's help, he uncovers a rogue CIA plot to detonate a nuclear bomb in Moscow. Meanwhile, the assassins who killed his brother launch an all-out hunt to silence him and anyone else who may thwart their plans.
In a frantic sprint across Europe, Kurt and Amanda must stay one step ahead of the killers while racing against the clock to prevent the bomb from incinerating millions of innocent people.
Book Two: Pressed
Bruised and battered from a recent mission, ex-CIA analyst Kurt Vetter is pressed into service once again when hackers launch a devastating cyber-attack on the United States Strategic Early Warning System, nearly triggering a nuclear confrontation.
When Kurt and his partner Amanda Carter investigate the security lapse, they discover that elements of a Russian sleeper cell have compromised the integrity of the National Military Command Center. To further complicate matters, Kurt and Amanda also learn that a Chechen arms dealer with a stolen nuclear warhead is about to start selling suitcase nukes to the highest bidder.
With membership in the nuclear club poised to explode and the United States effectively blinded to the threat, Kurt and Amanda are the last line of defense before the world descends into anarchy.
Book Three: Blood in the Streets
A routine trip to China turns disastrous for intelligence agent Kurt Vetter when a deadly series of attacks on civilian targets plunges the country into anarchy. Trapped in a disintegrating nation, Kurt and his team take to the war-torn streets of Beijing to locate a Chinese double agent who may know the truth behind the source of the violence.
As the politicians in Washington struggle with how to respond to the imminent collapse of the United States' largest trading partner, the responsibility falls on Kurt to prevent the destruction of the modern global economy.
When the conflict begins to spread beyond China's borders, Kurt and his team learn the threat is larger and more insidious than anyone could have imagined. If they don't act fast, the entire region, and perhaps the entire world may be draw into a conflict unlike any seen before.
The Kurt Vetter Trilogy Reviews
-
The book was ok, but seemed to stretch reality a bit. Ther were gaps in the story that didn't make sense. Why would a seasoned national security leader put an inexperienced person in charge of such an important operation! The final section is a bit hard to swallow as Kurt had been shot in the leg and is able to run until he is breathless and not have bleeding or the wound reopen!

I do not give out too many "two-stars" ratings. Though this book could have been better if the author would have taken the time to make it a bit more realistic. I do not think anyone who has flown in a Gulfstream V would consider it an "angonizing" flight. Also after firing four shots, Amanda's gun was out of rounds, really? A little more research on some topics and better overall writing would have made this a much better reader

Everything you want in an Espionage thriller.
I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. Loved the flow from one book to the next. Great characters, plots, and writing. Thank you Kurt! -
Started off well but gradually started to drag, mainly due to a lack of meat in the story line. Plenty of chatty lines but when it came to the action there was very little suspense or factual understanding of situation. Too many unbelievable jumps in the story line without explanation. Yet another author who does not know how to finish off a book well.
Only redeeming feature was that it was a free book.
