Chad Hunter / Hypershot Books in Order

The Hypershot books show Trevor Scott leaning hardest into the technothriller side of his work. These stories follow Chad Hunter and, in the early books, optics expert Frank Baldwin, as advanced weapons design turns into international danger.

The hardware matters here.

In Hypershot, Chad is working with a Denver arms company that wants a deal with a German firm behind a remarkably accurate new rifle system. Frank Baldwin's optics work is part of what makes the weapon so valuable, and that value immediately turns both men into targets. The result is not just a weapons-development story, but a suspense novel about what happens when innovation attracts the wrong kind of attention.

The later books widen the frame. Global Shot keeps the same world of military technology and global stakes moving. Cyber Shot brings Chad back together with Sirena and adds terrorism, defense work, and communications politics to the mix. The through-line is clear, every breakthrough creates a new pressure point, and somebody powerful always wants to control it.

These novels are a little more gear-conscious than Scott's regional mysteries, but they still move quickly. You do not need to be a military hardware specialist to enjoy them. Scott uses the technology to raise the stakes, not to slow the story down.

If you like thrillers built around weapons systems, government contracts, international competition, and the uneasy line between engineering and espionage, this series is the one to try. Start with Hypershot, because the central players and the core idea are there from page one.
