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.
