Default And the future winner of the "Blow Sanitaries" Award For Worst Sub Book Goes To...

I'm going to pretend I didn't see this on Amazon.com earlier this morning. It's all a bad dream, and and under no circumstances will I request a review copy from the publisher.

Yet another Scorpion conspiracy fable, this time cowritten by the authors of Red Star Rogue and the Tom Clancy Power Plays series. I can already see our very own Mr. Nichols bashing it against his bedroom wall in rage.

Are there any books bout Scorpion worth reading? I read RSR the year before last and I'm not looking forward to reading the new book. (Though knowing my weak will, I may just crack it open, if only so I can write another super-long slam on it like I did for RSR on Amazon)

Stephen Johnson's Silent Steel is pretty good. I wrote a review of it for the site about a year ago.
