COTT: Deadly Additive–An Action-Packed Gift!
To soldier-of-fortune Jeb Sledge it seems like a simple job: Rescue an heiress and her journalist friend Kristin Halvorsen from their kidnapping by Colombian guerrillas and collect a sizable paycheck. But Kristin has other plans. After stumbling onto a mass of dead bodies, she wont leave Colombia without the proof she needs for the story of a lifetime. While she and Jeb wrangle over her obstinacy, they discover a hidden factory where the guerrillas build a new and deadly type chemical weapon for the international black market. Their discovery triggers a raid on the factory, followed by a desperate search through the Caribbean and the U.S. to prevent a catastrophic attack by weapons the factory has produced. But who is behind that attack, and what are the planned targets? Finding out brings Jeb and Kristin again into peril for their lives and leads them both into an unexpected spiritual Odyssey.
What others are saying:
An edge-of-the-chair plot in prose that reads like satin, with a nails-tough hero who still has time for introspection.
-Donna Fletcher Crow, author of A Darkly Hidden Truth, The Monastery Murders
I loved Deadly Additive! In this wonderfully written story, Donn Taylor offers up a perfect blend of suspense, intrigue, humor, romance, and inspiration. I savored every page and didnt want it to end.
-Ann Tatlock, award-winning author of Travelers Rest
Donn Taylor continually thrusts his two leading characters into impossible situations, but their escape is always believable. His characters are well drawn, authentic. You find yourself physically trying to help them out of a certain-death trap. I recommend it without reservation.
-James Callan, award-winning author of Cleansed by Fire
reached the level of making me forget I was reading. It was an intellectual action novel with likable charactersreminded me of Tom Clancy’s novels.

Opener from Chapter 1:
By habit, Jeb Sledge disapproved of people who pointed weapons at him. The present offenders tuxedo did not qualify him for an exception, and the silencer on his pistol only aggravated the offense
