Description
“The best thriller of the year...an exciting and entertaining read.” —The Washington Times
“A top-notch thriller.” —Bill O’Reilly
From #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor—a brilliant thriller as “current as tomorrow’s headlines” (Dan Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author). Terrorism in Europe has spun out of control. The United States has decided on a dramatic response. Now, the CIA needs a very special kind of operative.
Scot Harvath has exactly the skills the CIA is looking for. He’s a former U.S. Navy SEAL with extensive experience in espionage. Working for a private intelligence company, he will provide the CIA, and more important, the President, with absolute deniability.
But deep within the Russian Caucasus, Moscow also has its own special kind of operative. As a child, Sacha Baseyev endured an unimaginable horror. Today, he lives and breathes for only one reason—to kill. And he will kill as many Americans as it takes to accomplish his mission.
When a clandestine American operations team is ambushed near Syria, all signs point toward a dangerous informant in Brussels. But as Harvath searches for the man, he uncovers another actor—a rogue player hell-bent on forcing America’s hand and drawing it into a confrontation deadlier than anyone could have imagined.
As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life. From Vienna, Brussels, and Berlin, to Malta, Jordan, and Syria—he will push himself beyond the edge in order to confront one of the greatest evils the world has ever known.

All I Expected!
5By CurdogfGreat Read! Couldn’t put it down!Great book
5By EXCITING READI like all his novelsWell done
4By TonySereJust a good read…period.Packed.
4By ANProctorActually followed this one really well and enjoyed the characters throughout. Felt like I spent a lot of time following Harvath’s story and not some “whatever” character half the time, which made it more enjoyable. Felt like it didn’t need to have so many “bad guys” on the Russian side though. The book spent too much time interrogating people and that got a bit boring going through it with Eichel, Malevsky, Sergun and the general. Too many interrogations! But it ended very well and actually closed out the primary characters nicely. I binged the last 30 chapters in a 2 hour window because it gets really good after chapter 40. Action packed and easy to follow! Great job Thor!Almost can't finish it
1By ThisoldfishI've ready every other book in the series and love them. This one, however, I think is terrible. The plot is boring and predictable, the story drones on and I fall asleep from the monotony of one battle after the next. Loads of characters introduced quickly and it becomes confusing. I have to say this is one of the worst most amateur books I've read and it really surprises me after enjoying the rest of the series. Seems like he was in a hurry to simply crank one out-- this is a weak result and a waste of my money.Can't get enough
5By knockermakerThis is the best Scott Harvath adventure to date. Well written, great plot, lightening fast pace, with satisfying finish. Feel like I just had a great succulent steak dinner with good glass of Cabernet.Foreign Agent
5By Over siteOnce again knocked it out of the park Brad! Hope we have someone like Scott out there we are going to need him.The Apostle
4By Gentle SavageIf you don't know by now, Thor never misses. Period.Excellent
5By Tjh1525I have read all of Mr. Thor's books and they are all an excellent read.Excellent
5By GPMengelReally enjoyed reading this book! Very well written! Kept me on edge and excited to keep reading!Foreign Agent
2By S diggyWhat has happened to Brad Thor's writing? Crazy book, crazy characters, no plot, rambling on, who cares about the ending? Guess Scott Horvath is done....Wicked
5By SpinalcellThe fact that operators and think tanks are required to read at least one of his books should be an indication of his accuracy and skill set. You won't be disappointed. If Jack Ryan got you here let Scot Harvath show you how we stay here!!!Thriller and beyond
5By Rhh3rdGreat read!! Kept me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I couldn't wait till a particular part had some closure. Great job Brad.Clairvoyant
5By Valleyforge5The melding of fiction with really well researched reality...interwoven into intricate plots. The "what ifs" on today's world chessboard taken through frightening conclusions. Brilliant. Reminds me of Clancy's early creative work. Thor is a force.Great Read
5By Whimsical WizardAs always, Brad Thor delivered an amazing read, one in which you really wonder about the possibilities . . . Loved the twins! Hope to revisit their story in a future book.Nice, not sophisticated
3By YoavzivNice book to have on a flight. The goods are good, the bads are bad.Disappointing
2By CHRWCI wasn't familiar with this author and am surprised this is a NYT best seller. No character development, no details provided for key plot lines, repeated phrases, no suspense. A poorly written imitation of the best authors in this genre. I couldn't finish it.Foreign Agent
5By MountneagleThe best & very up to the times book.Foreign Agent
5By E Roquevery informative and entertaining. Easy reading. MY wife and I highly recommend it. E & E
