Scorpius Syndrome\/A Brigade Novella<\/b>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Hugh Johnson is nobody\u2019s hero, and the idea of being in the limelight makes him want to growl.\u00a0 He takes care of his brothers, does his job, and enjoys a mellow evening hanging with his hound dog and watching the sports channel.\u00a0 So when sweet and sexy Ellie Smithers from his college chemistry class asks him to save millions of people from a nuclear meltdown, he doggedly steps forward while telling himself that the world hasn\u2019t changed and he can go back to his relaxing life.\u00a0 One look at Ellie and excitement

day.\u00a0 She\u2019s been hand-picked as the computer guru for The Brigade, which is the USA\u2019s first line of defense against all things Scorpius, including homegrown terrorists who\u2019ve just been waiting for a chance to strike.\u00a0 Their target is a nuclear power plant in the east, and the only person who can help her is Hugh, the sexy, laconic, dangerous man she had a crush on so long

stars!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a huge Rebecca Zanetti fan, and am slightly obsessed with <i>The Scorpius Syndrome<\/i> series and its world. But where the books of the series focus on the survivors of a deadly bacterium which has left the world in a post-apocalyptic state, this novella is a standalone story set before the rest of the series (but after the prequel novella, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=6827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scorpius Rising<\/a>), where the Scorpius infection is still new and the US is entering damage control mode.<\/p>\n<p>The Brigade has been established to defend against Scorpius-induced threats, and Ellie Smithers is their tech genius. When a threat against nuclear power plants emerges, they need to recruit a nuclear expert, so Hugh Johnson is forcibly brought on board.<\/p>\n<p>Ellie and Hugh know each other from college, they were lab partners, and while Ellie crushed madly on Hugh, he was a bit of a ladies\u2019 man who moved from woman to woman, not wanting commitment and knowing that\u2019s what Ellie was after. Nothing happened between them, but with them now working in close quarters, all of that old feeling is about to come roaring back.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI ain\u2019t a college kid no more, Ellie.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m well aware of that.\u201d She needed to go by him to get to the door, and he wasn\u2019t moving out of the way. How in the world did he still affect her like this? It had been years, for goodness\u2019 sake. \u201cWe\u2019re both eons out of college.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m no longer hurtin\u2019 or whorin\u2019 around,\u201d he continued, looking big and broad in the small room.<br \/>\n\u201cYour point?\u201d she snapped, trying to get her libido under some semblance of control\u2026<br \/>\n\u201cThis time, when you make the offer? I\u2019m gonna say yes.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I loved the chemistry between these two! Fun yet snarky with a deep connection that still holds strong. And with their history, combined with the urgency of a world heading very quickly out of control, there\u2019s no time for game playing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29753\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=29753\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?fit=706%2C643&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"706,643\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D810&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1510148469&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;105&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Blaze Erupting Tour teaser 2(1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?fit=150%2C137&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-29753 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?resize=437%2C398&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"437\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?w=706&amp;ssl=1 706w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?resize=100%2C91&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?resize=150%2C137&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?resize=600%2C546&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Blaze-Erupting-Tour-teaser-21.jpg?resize=650%2C592&amp;ssl=1 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hot and intense, sweet and fun watching them bicker and banter as they figure it all out, and I enjoyed every moment of the ride. Though their attraction is wild, the feelings between them take them both by surprise, and though it is quick-moving, their love story is really gorgeous.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI\u2019m all or nothing. With you. Only you.\u201d<br \/>\nWhat was he saying? \u201cHugh? The world is exploding.\u201d\u2026<br \/>\nHe nodded. \u201cI know. But I\u2019m a selfish bastard when there\u2019s something I want, and I want you. For as long as I can have you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And it all unfolds amidst danger, suspense and suspicion as motives are questioned, secrets are uncovered, and Ellie and Hugh team up with other Brigade members to hunt down the threat. The action is exciting, and the character dynamics are spot on (and surprisingly hilarious) and I could see the whole thing playing out in my head like a movie, and I was completely hooked from start to finish.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Why does the world have to start ending when I finally found something worth fighting for?<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fans of the series will love seeing Brigade leader Deke and his wife Nora after the events of <i>Scorpius Rising<\/i>, and with the Brigade storyline far from over and inevitably heading towards catching up with the rest of the characters in the series, I\u2019m so excited to see where it all goes from here.<\/p>\n<p>This is a quick read, but a great one, and I loved it! 4 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided

There are safeguards upon safeguards in place for coolants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hugh nodded. \u201cYeah. If I was going to attack a nuclear power plant, I\u2019d have the best in the world in my pocket.\u201d His body started to ache and he released each muscle to try uselessly to rid himself of tension.\u00a0 \u201cThen I\u2019d plant explosives around the spent fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice you\u2019ve planned this out,\u201d Connor muttered.<\/p>\n<p>Hugh flashed a grin, amusement filling him. They were truly suspicious of him. \u201cIt\u2019s my job. At least, it was my job.\u201d He had a feeling everything had just changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuspects?\u201d Deke asked.<\/p>\n<p>Ellie pressed a button, and faces started filling the wall screen. \u201cWe\u2019ve narrowed it down to five organizations in the states. Two homegrown and three Hugh has been watching for a year. They have the skills and means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of these?\u201d Ivan asked, leaning forward.<\/p>\n<p>Hugh ran through the data. \u201cMaybe. We don\u2019t know who else has shown up the last month as we all concentrated on Scorpius and the outbreak. There could be players on our soil that I haven\u2019t tracked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust great,\u201d Connor said, eyeing the screen. \u201cWhat now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellie set her papers down. \u201cWe go to the sites and look for anything out of the ordinary. I can only get into the computers onsite and not remotely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAffirmative.\u201d Deke shoved away from the table. \u201cAs of right now, you all have top-level clearance.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing you can\u2019t request or see.\u201d He assisted Nora from her chair. \u201cI think you\u2019re right about New York. Resources have been sent to the bigger cities for protection, and it\u2019d be too hard to hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Man, Hugh hoped he was right. \u201cOr that\u2019s what they\u2019re expecting we\u2019ll think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deke nodded. \u201cAye. That. For now, we check out the other two plants. Nora, Ivan, and I will fly to Pennsylvania since private planes haven\u2019t been grounded yet. Ivan has expertise here as well. Eleanor, Hugh, and Connor? You guys fly to the Arizona plant. I\u2019ll ask the new president to grease the wheels for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connor stood. \u201cAnd if Hugh is a problem?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShoot him,\u201d Deke said absently.<\/p>\n<p>Hugh coughed. Wonderful. He was going to work with these people?<\/p>\n<p>Connor moved for the door. \u201cEveryone needs to be properly suited up. Satellite phone, weapons, and protective gear. I have everything ready in the armory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hugh kept his face blank. Protective gear? Something told him that didn\u2019t mean condoms.<\/p>\n<p>Just what the hell had he gotten involved in?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Author Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13163\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=13163\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?fit=954%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"954,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rebecca-zanetti\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?fit=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-13163 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?resize=265%2C177\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?w=954 954w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?resize=100%2C67 100w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?resize=150%2C100 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?resize=600%2C402 600w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?resize=650%2C435 650w\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"178\" data-attachment-id=\"13163\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=13163\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?fit=954%2C639\" data-orig-size=\"954,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rebecca-zanetti\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?fit=100%2C67\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rebecca-Zanetti.jpg?fit=150%2C100\" \/><i>New York Times<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>USA Today<\/i>\u00a0Bestseller Rebecca Zanetti is the author of over twenty-five dark paranormals, romantic suspense, and contemporary romances.
