Jake Waters series by Bob Blink (Books #1-3)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 1.2 MB
Overview: I am a former satellite systems engineer who always wanted to write. Early attempts were always frustrated by the conflicts of school, working, or life in general. While I was in the Navy for a couple of years, my experiences were restricted to teaching at the Nuclear Power School, so I have no real combat experience. I attempted a novel I intended to call "The Long March Conspiracy" when I was working on a satellite launch in China. I intended for the Chinese rocket that was carrying a US satellite to be sabotaged and blown up. During the actual launch I was working, the satellite actually did blow up, although not because of nefarious activities as would have been the case in my plot. Nonetheless, it didn’t seem appropriate to continue with that story. Lack of free time was working against any progress anyway.

#1: Corrector
Is Jake Waters a hero or a hardened criminal? Unfortunately, those who might consider him the former are usually blissfully unaware he has passed through their lives and has changed their destinies in such a dramatic way. Regrettably, the police and FBI see his actions in a wholly different light, and while they have yet to determine whom the mysterious killer is, they continue their search and are building up both a profile and a backlog of unsolved cases. They are perplexed at his actions and how he has had the advanced knowledge to perform his surgical removals.
Jake, ex-military and a survivor of the war in Afghanistan, tries to pursue his own destiny as a freelance programmer who writes computer games and consults with NASA on special projects. He is blessed or cursed with a special skill, depending on your perspective, one which makes him aware of events that no one else is. As a result, he sometimes feels it necessary to take action on his own. Those he removes have been planning numerous horrific deaths, and he does not feel bad by his actions. He also suspects the police will one day stumble upon his identity or catch him in the middle of one of his missions. Then he will have to rely on his ability to elude them.
#2: Back-Tracker
Corrector’s Jake Waters returns in a new adventure.
Much has changed over the past couple of years for Jake. He’s been able to fit into a lifestyle he finds more to his liking, thanks to a friend in the FBI he can turn to when something that needs correcting develops. Of course the obligation works two ways, and occasionally Jake finds himself in a position where he needs to help out in return.
Now married to Karin, with a young daughter, he lives in California where his wife’s work has taken them. The last few months had been ideal, with no major incidents, his daughter passing the first year milestone, and his best friend Nate getting married. It was too good to last.
The first unexpected event was an attempted kidnapping of his wife and daughter. Then it was an attempt on the life of his friend Zack. The note that arrived with demands were unlike anything Jake had ever encountered.
#3: Double Back
Jack’s good friend Special Agent Susan Carlson has been kidnapped. Jim Laney calls from Washington, DC to inform him of the attack, requesting Jake’s help to prevent the abduction. As unfortunate as the news is, it isn’t anticipated to be a problem. Jake has easily solved far more complicated matters with his Back-Tracking ability before.
After gathering the relevant details of the attack upon Carlson from Jim Laney, Jake Back-Tracks to a time earlier in the week to alert his FBI friends of the plan. A trap is laid, and the group of four, would-be assailants, are easily captured. Satisfied with the outcome, Jake initiates another Back-Track to a much earlier time to deal with an unrelated problem for his wife Karin, also easily handled. After completing the task for his wife and Jake relives the time of the abduction, an unprecedented thing happens. History fails to repeat itself as it always has during his previous Back-Tracking. When the trap is set to capture the would-be kidnappers, they simply don’t appear. No plan is in place to make an attempt against Carlson. Uncertain what might have happened, the matter is tabled and life goes on, with some question as to whether Jake’s ability has been somehow corrupted as a result of the extensive Back-Tracking he has done over the past couple of years.
A second attempt in as many weeks against Carlson, this time an attempt to kill her outright, causes Jake to examine carefully what might be happening. Whoever has a grudge against Carlson, almost certainly has a Back-Tracker of their own. Soon, a complicated battle emerges, where Jake and the FBI attempt to discover who the people after Susan might be, and more importantly who their Back-Tracker is. Meanwhile, the criminals realize that against all probability, Agent Carlson must have someone who is able to Back-Track, assisting her in her efforts to locate them. In order to complete their plan to eliminate Carlson, the FBI Back-Tracker must be neutralized. The multiple time loops associated with the efforts of the two groups to uncover the identity of their counterparts becomes the most trying engagement of Jake’s life, with the stakes being no less than the lives of all his FBI friends and himself.
As the cumulative effects of multiple Back-Tracking threaten to limit his ability, Jake must balance Back-Tracking to preserve the facts they have learned, against the potential need to Back-Track in the event they are attacked. The battle of wits and ability result in a complex game of cat and mouse with an unexpected outcome.
