Brad Thor's Scot Harvarh series is one of my favorites of the espionage thriller genre. The novels as consistently 4 or 5 star thrillers. Thor does not have the talent of Vince Flynn, but then few do. This novel is set mostly in Afghanistan. Harvath's task is to enter a prison and kidnap a terrorist in order to free a kidnapped American doctor. George Guidall narrated the prior five novels in the Harvath series, but Thor goes back to Armand Shultz for this and the rest of his novels. Giving up Guidall's narration for anyone else is usually an error, but Schultz is almost as good.

The story itself was pretty good. However the narrator did not do the story justice and because of this I had a hard time listening to it. I was not as impressed as the other reviewers who rated it a 5 star book. it was a good story but I do not think the writing deserves 5 stars.

Another kick ass soaked patriotic thriller/love letter to America's finest Soldiers, Sailors,Airmen and MARINES). From the Scot Harvath typical badassery to the secret service side story all culminating in one gnarly (won't spoil it) ending...I couldn't stop this one until the end...

Limited connection between stories and story development with Secret Svc was not well developed. Not as good as other books. Narator was good.

held my attention enough that I read the book and listened to it on audio.

Story was good and keeps you involveled, but the narration by Shultz is bad.
He can not stay in character or even get in it. very disappointing.

Weak storyline with everything working out too easily in the end. Weaker 2nd storyline that was completely unattached to the main storyline. Not good at all. Terrible narrator as well.

no

Ben Coes

People shouldn't try accents if they can't do them - his attempt a Canadian accent was laughable

Disappointment.

Its as though Thor is trying to write a movie script - with witty repartee which is neither witty nor interesting. Thor comes a long way behind Lee Child. Ben Coes or even Vince Flynn in the tough guy save the world hero genre. Although I promised once before I commit again to never buy a another Thor book

Don't understand the less-than-stellar reviews I read. This installment in the Scot Harvath series did not disappoint. I look forward to reading the next one! Love this author and the characters in this series! Happy reading!

The entire second storyline was ridiculous and unnecessary. From the very beginning to it's very end, it was incredulous. The idea that a single Secret Service agent could force a newly elected President to resign just because she said he must without any physical proof whatsoever is just silly. It seems pretty apparent that Thor just added the storyline to stretch out the overall length of the book. What a waste! Also, the title doesn't seem to have any connection to the story either. Thor may as well have just called it The.
