But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland—and joins forces with beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney’s Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus—where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known…

5By EternalgilGreat thriller. Def recommend 👍Lions of Lucerne
5By peppermint Patty21This book is my first time for author Brad Thor. I started with a sample and it was so slow going I wasn’t sure I wanted to read any more or pay the purchase price. But then I decided what the heck I would go ahead and I’m glad I did. Once the action started and the plot thickened I didn’t want to put it down!! I’m definitely reading the next book in the series can’t wait to see what adventures Agent Harvath has next!!☺️The Lions of Lucerne. Brad Thor
5By Wet againThe president of the United States is kidnapped. The vice president, his chief of staff, two senators and a very wealthy industrialist are behind this. Secret Service Agent Scoot Harvath is blamed for everything. His entire team is killed and Harvath is disgraced. Blamed for everything. What ensues is an electrifying tale of action, intrigue and bravery Of Scott and his Swiss agent Claudia who is just as deadly as Scott!!! A stupendous read!! Enjoyed immensely!!! My highest recommendation!!Very good story
4By dbear601Good plot, well written, but a bit far fetched.Predictable and elementary
2By Not Even Hello, KnotheadThe whole plot was revealed in the first few chapters. The politics was both unnecessary and ideologically partisan. The plot and dialogue was predictable and elementary.Solid Spy Novel
4By GavpatEnjoyable characters and good plot intrigue with a fast pace that doesn’t over complicate things. Definitely will dip back into this series in the future.Great story. Couldn’t put it down.
5By latn-5Liked the suspense and thrill of the chase. One surprise after another.Lions of Lucerne
3By Kimj929Entertaining enough to read to the end but doubt I’ll read any more Brad Thor books. This is my favorite genre and this author came highly recommended by multiple radio hosts but writing for me was sophmorish and some of the similes were a stretch. Maybe ok for a beach read but not for those who like an unpredictable thriller.Wow
5By VolturiGirlI usually don’t read these kind of books but this series was recommended to me by a friend. The first few chapters were kind of slow in my opinion but after that, the next thing I knew I’m half way through the book. I laughed, gasped and cursed at this book which means the author did an amazing g job pulling the reader in. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
