A TERRIFYING CONSPIRACY: A PSYCHOPATHIC KILLER, A RUTHLESS CABAL, AND A WEAPON POTENTIALLY MORE LETHAL THAN NUCLEAR WAR...
"An intriguing blend of jungle action... and cliffhanger suspense." -San Francisco ChronicleVECTOR is the FIRST book in Rob Swigart's Thriller in Paradise series.
ONLY a tough scientist and a clever island cop can stop them from loosing it on an unsuspecting world! Not often do you see a hard-boiled police procedural that's also part action-adventure technothriller, but this one's a knockout--a great mystery with plenty of local Hawaii color:
Detective Cobb Takamura's idea of a busy night is a few drunken tourists and a jaywalker. That is, until the flood of killings begins, when suddenly the tropical paradise he calls home becomes a raging inferno of violence and bloodshed. Seemingly the victims - who all died screaming of unknown causes, have nothing in common.
With the help of scientist and martial artist Chazz Koenig, Takamura tracks the deadly conspirators - and their state-of-the-art biological weaponry.
Fun for fans of James Michener's classic, HAWAII, Charlie Chaplin, Magnum PI, Hawaii Five-O, Hawaiian Eye, or any mystery series set in Hawaii, especially vintage ones--VECTOR's set in the 80s. Also fun for fans of Michael Crichton-type action-adventure technothrillers with a dash of science fiction for flavor.

REVIEWING THE REVIEWERS:
Who will like it: Readers who like local color, cross-genre books (science fiction combined with mystery, say), plus a web of intricate sub-plots and characters; and those intrigued by lots of delicious extras, like a bit of magic, perhaps, and humor, like a Japanese-American cop who loves Charlie Chan.
WHO WON'T LIKE IT: Readers who are easily confused by lots of characters, sub-plots, and diverse story elements; and who don't like their mysteries crossed with science fiction.
"Entertaining!" -Best Sellers
"A fast-paced novel with an exciting, climactic ending." -Peninsula Times Tribune
