Publisher's summary

The number one New York Times best-selling author of the Scot Harvath series and “heir to Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum” (Chicago Tribune) returns with this unputdownable, white-knuckled thriller following the Secret Service agent as he’s on the trail of the world’s most ruthless terrorist.

After rescuing the president from kidnappers in Thor’s roaring debut, The Lions of Lucerne, Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man - the world’s most dangerous terrorist.

Only one problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they are forced to recruit a civilian - a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry.

From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before the world is engulfed in flames.

Critic reviews

"...[A] blood-soaked sequel to the presidential-kidnapping debut that so arrested critics....Thor leaves little to the imagination when it comes to the cut and thrust of terrorist-busting; the action is relentless and gory, the pacing sublime, as is the authenticity of everything from weaponry to locales." ( Ottawa Citizen)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." ( Publishers Weekly)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." (Dan Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code)

Scott's H's follies...

Any additional comments?

I cannot get enough of Brad Thor's Scott Harvath. The book, as all his others keep my my attention much like V. Flynn books have. Scott is almost the man that is Mitch Rapp was... which is no small feat. You gotta read from book one forward....you will not be disappointed.

Just getting better

I love the character and the story lines. I so enjoy the narrator Armand Shultz. I am a little worried the next is a different narrator....I don't understand why that happens. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Very, very good to excellent book!

There is nothing better than a series of books with a main character you can identify with and a group of supporting characters that fit well and add to the storyline because we either despise them or love them.
As a fan of black ops books I want a series...a LONG series if possible, because I don't want to let go of a kick*** operative after a single adventure. Brad Thor provides us with Scott Harvath and he is that guy.
Armand Schultz has been great to this point and, not to knock him in any way, I am very much looking forward to the story telling Holy Grail...George Guidall.
Awesome work Mr. Thor! I'll be starting the next book in the series now.

love the series!

Got Lions of Lucerne and fell in love with the Scott Harvath story. This one was just as good and will be starting State of The Union right after this review is done!

Fun, action packed story.

A bit corny at times but overall an enjoyable listen. A lot of detail about military equipment.

Thor continues to impress

Brad Thor continued to have me on the edge of my seat with cliff hangers and plot twists. The Whitty one liners from scott leave you chuckling throughout the book.
