INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“[A]nother instant classic.” —The Real Book Spy
“A thriller aficionado’s dream.” —The Providence Journal
The new Cold War is about to go hot.
#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor is back with his most intense thriller yet—perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Brad Taylor, and Stephen Hunter.
Scot Harvath is having his best summer ever. With a cottage on the fjord, a boat, and his beautiful girlfriend Sølvi, he’s got everything he could possibly want. But out of vacation days and long overdue back home, America’s top spy has a decision to make—return or submit his resignation.
When his deadly past comes calling, though, he’ll be left with no choice at all.
Leaving his favorite Oslo café, Harvath watches as a ghost climbs out of a taxi—a man he killed years ago, halfway around the world. How is he still alive? And what is he doing in Norway?
In a race against time that will take him high above the Arctic Circle, Harvath is tested in ways he never could’ve imagined and pushed to a limit few human beings could ever endure.
If he succeeds, he’ll walk away with everything. If he fails, the United States and its allies will be at the mercy of one of the world’s most dangerous actors in this pulse-pounding political thriller.

5By neccodeAs usual, Brad Thor is amazing and one of most favorite authors!!Black Ice
5By BC1957Fantastic book.The Prequel
3By nicktianoThis novel should have been the first book. But it’s not. It does give plenty of background as to why Reacher is who he is. As always, too much description but thank goodness it is written in the First Person. When Lee writes Reacher in the THIRD PERSON it is way worse. On to the next one.Good story
4By dbear601A bit far fetchedHold up
3By bxh2hsI did not read this but Why in the world did this pull up From what i typed.Waste of time.
1By 2020 book of memoriesToo predictable.Not too shabby
5By KuurptostadtA Swell readBlack Ice. Brad Thor
5By Wet againScot Harvath high above the Arctic Circle is tasked to stop a threat that could seriously leave America and its allies at the mercy of China and Russia. America and Norways defense system severely impacted. Non stop action. A stupendous read!!Atco1
5By Atco 1Great read and as usual excellent character and plot development.Black Ice.
5By NoBrainerToMeWell researched. Reading about Norwegian environment and people was excellent. His knowledge of potential Arctic warfare and Russian and Chinese subterfuge was informative. Liked learning about US icebreakers, the lack of, and potential issues it causes was quite interesting.Another good yarn with an underlying message
4By Admiral CharlesThere is something reassuring in reading these admittedly formulaic novels. Yes they blindly Reinforce many of our deep seated beliefs and mores. Yet is it so bad that some of us believe in patriotism, decency and commitment to the greater good? ChuckGreat,more please
4By GlennMetcalfI would enjoy more of this cast in the same Scandinavian backgroundCouldn’t finish
2By ThisoldfishSurprisingly boring and blah. Bagged it halfway through and moved on.Pretty good.
2By bcastillo18Some chapters were just filler. But overall good book.Black Ice
5By Flick bExcellent as always, just wish you could write faster!!Another Excellent Harvath Adventure
5By Flynj01These stories are more relevant than ever as China and Russia seem intent on aggressive power plays. Very well paced and balanced novel. Good characters and storylines that keep the pages turning. Thanks Brad.Decent enough
4By Baba DaveGood story all based on a coincidence, which the characters don’t believe in coincidences. But whatever. Also a lot of fluff that had little or nothing to do with the plot. But whatever. And I felt like the author kind of got lazy and just wanted to finish the book. But whatever. Four stars might be a bit of an exaggeration But whatever I still liked it enough to finish it so kudos.
