The Zimo Hunt is the second of the nine-book "Asps" series, and the 11th of the Jim Scott Books.  In this book, the Asps work almost full-time with British SIS (MI6) and SAS-for the most part in Pakistan.with a few side trips along the way.  Jim Scott and several (most) of the former Janitors assist in one way or another, as the old team seems to find ways to get involved with the new team.  It has long been known that al-Qaida-along with their pals the Taliban-was (and is) well-involved in international drug trafficking.  It also is well known (rather than just suspected) that some in the Pakistani intelligence community have, at best, turned blind eyes toward some activities of both the Taliban and al-Qaida.and at worst have actively helped both terrorist organizations.  This story involves both of these situations.

Whodunit Did It is the first book of the Bader trilogy, and 19th Jim Scott book, though Jim and Hector Garcia only get a mention in this book.   These three books will feature LAPD Homicide Detective Elmer Bader.  In this one, Elmer and friends work to find a ruthless killer/thief who enjoys killing as well as stealing.  He is actually quite good at his chosen profession, having gone years without being brought to justice.  Good, hard, police work to track him down, is interspersed with the lives of those chasing him-including, but not limited to, Elmer's humorous, sexually charged romance with one of his three ex-wives and his efforts to play "cupid."  Unlike my previous books, this one, while having a few former military men, does not focus on military folks.  Hope the readers of the Janitor and Asps series will still find it entertaining. A bad guy may be smart.  A bad guy may be good at what he does.  A bad guy may be very careful to leave no trace of himself behind at crime scenes.  But even this bad guy-street named 'Whodunit' (without his knowledge) by an associate-can be tracked down with good police work.  A piece of evidence he had no idea would ever be discovered is discovered.  But does his escape plan work?

Father Mulligan is the eighth and next to last book of the Asps series, and the 17th Jim Scott Book.  The Asps, finish with a mission in Zambia.  As they head back to Montana, they asked to divert to the Cayman Islands.  Jim and Holly are aboard the C-130 with them.  This leads to the first attempt on Jim's life in this novel.  The team also gets involved trying to thwart a terrorist attack in America, even though it is far outside their purview, and well against the law to do so since they are CIA and Military.  In the process, the two situations intermingle, while the FBI tries to investigate Jim.  Other problems are uncovered along the way.and dealt with.harshly.  Also, during the course of the book, Holly has to deal with a dream she had, which leads to an eerie meeting. One would think given fair warning not to mess with someone-especially someone like Jim Scott-it might be a good idea to take ones losses, and lick ones wounds.  In this novel, a warning given is ignored, leading to a cascade of events.  No matter how smart, how rich, and how ruthless a person can be.there is always someone who is smarter, richer, and, when prodded, even more ruthless.  In this book, Jim Scott is prodded.

Pool Of Blood is the third and final book of the Becker Trilogy, and Jim Scot Books #24.   In this book, Bob Becker, his wife Michelle, and some other help, try to right a wrong.  A man is convicted of murder due to having stepped into a pool of blood near the body of a murdered woman, whom he had been arguing with only hours before she was killed.  During his investigation, Bob also deals with someone trying to kill Michelle.  The case of the man wrongly convicted leads Bob to Australia, where he is assisted by old friend, now-Colonel Walter Kilgorie, an ASIS Agent, and others.including Jim and Holly Scott. No matter how smart a criminal may be, his misdeeds almost always catch up with him.  In this story, six bad guys have to face their crimes in various ways.  One somehow manages to escape the justice he probably deserves, while another gets more than he might have bargained for.  This case takes Jim and Holly Scott, and Bob Becker from Missouri to France, then on to Australia.  During the Australian portion of the trip, Hector Garcia joins them.  The four also make a stop at the Solomon Islands-where the three Marines visit the sands of Guadalcanal, to pay homage to the Marines who died there.

Toboggan, is the fourth book in the "Janitors Series, " following Baghdad Butcher, Back To Iraq, and Dog Pound.  Once again, Jim Scott and the Janitors are on vacation, except for another cameo appearance, which is a continuation of their mission in Dog Pound.  In this book, we have a return of Dan and Janet Orf, as well as their friend Mark Yomo.  Dan and Janet investigate a plane crash in the Rocky Mountains, while Mark attempts to track down two criminals in the area of the crash.  In this book, a number of the new characters introduced play roles in later books of the series.with two becoming Janitors for one mission in the eighth book, Devil's Brew.  Also, during the Janitor's appearance, the C-130 plane crew from Back To Iraq is fleshed out, and most of them stay with the team from the sixth book, Saltwater Connection, thru the ninth and final book of the series, Sedona Chip. This book is part survival story, part investigation, and with a bit of the Janitors.  The Orfs investigate on two fronts, while a young, newly formed, couple fight the extremes of a late spring blizzard in the Rockies.  While that couple heads down the mountain, they find themselves on a collision course with a pair of escaped criminals headed up the same mountain in an effort to avoid re-capture by the authorities. While all this is going on, the idiot author had to stop typing on several occasions because laughter made it impossible to go on without a break.  While not a comedy, I hope the readers find those sections as funny as I did.though I'm sure the higher muckety-mucks in Iran and the leadership of al-Qaida will find it less funny.

Les maisons du monde

In Bear's War, the fifth book in the nine-book "Asps" series, and 14th Jim Scott Book, the team spends a good portion of the book tracking down a half-German, half-Egyptian terrorist.  During that effort, they manage to damage the plans he has to make two major attacks on England, and one on the United States.only to have the attacks re-planned.  On two occasions, they run into the Iranians offering substantial help to the al-Qaida terrorist they are trying to capture.   Tragedy continues to stalk the combined team of Asps and former Janitors, but, as always, they fight the War on Terror, in spite of their losses.and add new and exciting characters. It is obvious to anyone paying attention that a much-weakened al-Qaida continues to find traction in many ways.  Not the least of those efforts are in recruiting new members in several locations around the globe.  The trick of the game is to thwart those efforts as fast as the terror organization can come up with them.  This book, as with most of the "Asps" series, deals with those efforts.

How 'bout Both is the third and final book in the Bader trilogy, and 21st Jim Scott book, though again Jim plays a very small part, while Hector Garcia gets involved a good deal more. In this book, Elmer and friends deal with a case involving domestic terrorism.  Elmer runs into several obstacles along the way, including many attempts on his life.  Old friend Hector Garcia lends a helping hand, as do FBI Special Agent Homer Spradling and NCIS Special Agent Greg Noonan, and others.  Both Elmer and his new partner Maine Bobbitt are injured in a terrorist car bomb explosion, while they save many lives through their efforts.  Identifying and capturing the car bomber becomes almost secondary to proving a case against the suspected head of several militant Islamist cells in the Los Angeles area.   One of the banes of law enforcement in America is home-grown Islamist terrorism.  This is especially true when the home-growns are aided with funds and training from afar.  This book deals with a Muslim cleric intent on causing as much damage and fear as possible with various acts of terrorism, who takes a personal dislike to Elmer Bader and his TV news reporter friend, Helen Bledsoe.

In Dead Silent Calm, the seventh book in the nine-book Janitor series,  the team goes after a madman Chinese scientist who in addition to coming up with two deadly formulas to unleash on the U. S., is working with al-Qaida.  And we also have a major change in the make-up of the team.  Two of the new members will stay with the team until it's disbanded, and will be main factors (team leaders) in the nine-book Asps series that will follow the Janitors. For those of you not paying attention, China is no friend of the United States.  It would seem they took notes as we buried the Soviet Union with Star Wars and blue jeans.  This story, however, is about one of their scientists who frightens even some higher-ups within China.
