White Monsoon - Pure Heroin

by Scott Nelson

Overview

"A huge fan of the works of Alistair MacLean, Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy, I sought to conquer my fear of hypodermic needles and ended up writing two mainstream works of fiction." Surrounded by many subplots, this second novel in the White Monsoon trilogy follows an everyman character tossed into the vortex of an international maelstrom. Seeking to guarantee the allegiance of a US distribution ring leader, the head of the Libyan terrorists demands that the man turn over his three year old daughter and infant son as collateral for the right to distribute his heroin. The ring leader deceives the terrorist leader using the daughter and son of the everyman character, the protagonist. Through sheer determination, the frightened protagonist learns that his daughter and son have been taken to a very modern prison built on a huge cliff high in the Afghani mountains. WARNING: If Liam Neeson grabbed you with his terrific, heart-pounding performance in TAKEN, then you may not be able to put this drugnothriller down. (Incudes a few scenes from the screenplay of Morphine Base) If you want to take someone out of circulation, slip them this book. They'll be gone for awhile.

About the Author

"My parents read to me a lot. The images from those early experiences forged an inquisitive, inventive mind. I read all of the Hardy Boy books by the end of third grade and then my folks introduced me to masterful storytellers such as Alistair MacLean, Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy. I would peg the style of the White Monsoon Trilogy somewhere between Ludlum and Clancy." Scott grew up in Colorado. Got a BS in Psychology from Colorado State University, attended New South Wales University in Sydney, Australia. He always took writing courses and has completed four novels, a children's novel, a young adult summer novel and the two current White Monsoon titles, Morphine Base and Pure Heroin. He is currently working on the third book in the trilogy. Scott has written a screenplay (Registration #1268933, Writers Guild of America, West, Inc.) for each book. Scott resides in Sandy, Utah, with his wife and her two youngest of five. Scott's daughter is a CPA in Denver and his son is attending Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Editorial Reviews

Heroic characters careen from one crisis to another like billiard balls in never ending trajectories. Readers will be spell bound by the plot and detailed realistic action. The author, Scott Nelson knows his stuff and realistically entertains us with up to date societal problems of drug addiction, and a drug consumer driven demand.

just finished the second book of the trilogy. From the very first sentence the "drug induced" story leaped out, grabbed me, put me in a headlock and kidnapped my attention to the very last page.

a tremendous insight is given the reader into the violent, vicious underworld of heroin production, distribution and "end" use. From a poppy field in India to a teenagers bedroom thousands of miles away, Scott Nelson takes a reader on a wild ride in trains planes and automobiles through a techn

Book Junkie

"...Pure Heroin is aptly titled because it is the central theme around which the tale is spun. Heroin causes the three year old daughter and infant son of an educational programmer of personal computers to be kidnapped and taken to a remote prison built in a molybdenum mine abandoned by the Russians following their brief occupation of Afghanistan. Heroin causes the death of the daughter and husband of a woman who helps the terrified father."
