The Scorching is the newest Johnstone thriller that is sure to keep readers turning pages until the very end! The plot is that pyroterrorists are wanting to bring death and destruction by setting forest fires all over the world. The group that is in America must be stopped before it is too late. The answer may lie in forming a group of specially trained firefighters. The work is dangerous and deadly as these characters not only have to fight the fire, but they also have to be aware that other folks with deadly intentions are lying in wait for them. The group is formed by Senator Jacob Sensor who appears to be playing both sides of the fence for his sole political gain.
The group’s leader is Cory Cantwell whose background makes him the perfect leader of a fighting force. The various members of his group come from all walks of life and with vast backgrounds of experience. One of the other main members of the group is named Sarah Milano. Her job is to act as the go-between the senator and Cory. However, there is more to Sarah than meets the eye when she is kidnapped without a hope of escape.
The novel is high octane, nonstop action and mystery! The race to stop the evil intent of a radical group never lets up until the very end of the book. I enjoyed the banter among Cory Cantwell’s team and the way they looked out and for each other. I recommend reading and enjoying the newest Johnstone thriller, as it is original and well written.

When I received my copy, I loved the cover! I am part of the Johnstone book club, which will soon be opening in 2019 to anyone who is interested in signing up. Then, inside the red star are the words “There are no safe spaces”. I knew I had to read this book immediately. So, when I started reading the work of fiction, I almost felt like I was reading from a local newspaper.
A former military man named Jake Rivers returns to college to get his graduate degree, but what he hasn’t counted on is the change in the college atmosphere. Being a bright young man and usually knowing who the enemy he is fighting against, he enters the college scene where political correctness is the only acceptable means of any type of speech or behavior. Those who showed a different opinion like Jake alerted the college professors and other students that he wasn’t going to adhere to their ridiculous rules. They try several forms of intimidation. However, the “powers that be” must be careful of their treatment of Jake as they don’t want his grandfather pulling his monetary support of the college. What begins to happen is so out of left field that Jake feels as though he must soon decide whether to finish his degree, leave, or pursue something different elsewhere.
Readers of thrillers, suspense, military or political themes will really enjoy the action in this engaging book! Johnstone has out done herself with this story. People will want to remember that while it is fiction I could easily see it being real on college campuses today. Those who love America and the fans of Johnstone books won’t want to miss the latest and best coming from the pen of a Johnstone! (Written by LBJ)
