    "Just Okay For Me"

    I have listened to several Brad Thor books and have not been real impressed. This book was the same. I just cant find a connection with his hero.Thor's writing style doesn't provide the excitement that keep me interested.

    "Great novel in a great series!"

    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.

    "Not so impressed"

    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.

    "Weak

    "

    Bad story. No suspense and no credibility. Terrible performance. Harvath was made to sound like a moron alien.

    "Not the best Harvath Book"

    This could have been better. Just couldn't get into this one like the others. Hopefully the next one is better

    "Mr. Thor Never Disappoints"

    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...

    "Weak - Limited connection between stories."

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

    "Good story"

    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.

    "Not good."

    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.
