Overview

If you've ever wondered about the training to become a para-military assassin, or the challenge and emotions of killing someone without color of flag or a clearly defined battle, then Heat Sync has your answers. H.T. Thompson, whose father failed to shoot a man when he probably should have, is determined to do better at defending America, but his evolution from SEALS to Personal Warfare (assassination) Training takes him down a shadowed path no decent man should go. Once he's too involved to turn back, he's exploited to the point that he either becomes his own victim or finds a way out - although no one ever gets out. Told through the first-person narrative of a fiercely patriotic American, Heat Sync provides an insider's look and an accurate history of America's use of assassination throughout history, from issuing Native Americans smallpox-infected blankets to the first-strike use of chemical weapons in the first Gulf War Recruited from SEALS to join Jaspers, a covert military force, Henry Thompson believes he's training to assassinate foreign threats to this country. Only after he graduates and gets his orders does he realize that his true mission is to kill the President of the United States by using the White House access his girlfriend provides, and that he's already too boxed in by his handlers to refuse. Heat Sync is an exciting but non-traditional thriller that deeply probes the emotions and psychology of a patriotic killer. Heat Sync takes you through the U.S. Assassination School exposed by NEWSWEEK Magazine just prior to this novel's publication. This 2012 print edition has been entirely revised and updated.

About the Author

Wes DeMott was born in Oregon in 1952, but moved soon afterward to Guam. His father, a Navy man who later became a defense contractor, moved the family frequently, instilling in Wes a love of travel and new places. He calls both Virginia and Florida home, although Panama is only a notch away from being added to that list. An accomplished surfer, diver, and deep-sea fisherman, Wes shows his love of the ocean in many of his books, with boats and adventures-at-sea popping up frequently. A long-distance cruiser with thousands of nautical miles on his own vessels, it was not surprising that Wes related the experience of being rescued off Cuba in 2011 to a short scene he'd written in a book. Over the past dozen years Wes has garnered international acclaim for his novels about prisoners of war, the FBI, military assassins, and spies. In Loving Zelda he wrote about hope and loss and the chance to change our lives if we're fearless enough to try. Tortuga Gold reflects a fun new chapter in Wes's own life as he's joined in his adventures by his beautiful Belgian wife, Sabine, a human rights/refugee lawyer who spent seven of her fifteen years with the United Nations living in Africa, including full-time residency in the war zones of Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo during their bloody genocides. Heat Sync, DeMott's third thriller, has been entirely revised and updated for this new print edition. Other books by Wes DeMott: The Fund, Walking K, The Typhoon Sanction, Loving Zelda, and Tortuga Gold. All books available in e-book format and in print.
