Publisher's summary

Tucked away in a remote corner of North Carolina's Fort Bragg, behind rows of razor wire and heavily armed guards, lies the headquarters of the nation's most elite counter-terrorism unit: the United States Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. Here, a brilliant new approach to combating terrorism has just been born. Its codename: The Athena Project.

The novels will follow an elite team of female warriors from their recruitment as top-level athletes, through their training, to their deployment on some of the most exciting and dangerous international assignments the fiction world has ever seen.

Brad Thor's listeners will be electrified as he employs his vast knowledge of covert operations and military intrigue to bring to life his most heart-pounding, globe-trotting thrillers yet.

BRAD is the auTHORity

A great story. Intriguing and very entertaining. Everything you'd expect in a Scot Harvath novel.

Not your typical Scott Harvath

The narrator was not as good as I had expected made it hard to tell when what character was speaking in extended dialogues. There was a lot more joking and poking at character jest fully which was a change of pace. Over all a decent read but a different narrator would have made a world of difference.

Not a Scott Harvath story

I got the book because it was part of the Scott Harvath series. He made a cameo in the story, but it was really about the female Delta team from the last book.

meh...

didn't love it. felt the way the women were portrayed was unrealistic. some of the baddest women on the planet acting like that? not buying it. I need stories to ring more true. story itself left me wanting as well. Generally I am a fan of the Harvath series. this one just fell short

Great story, believable.

I have not been a fan of most books in this genre read by women but between the characters and the story, this narrator did a great job. I would listen to her again.

The Athena Project

I have listened to over 400 audiobooks, most of them thrillers. This is a great start to a new series (hopefully). As with most, the narrater makes the book and Marvel is great. I look forward to book #2 of The Athena Project.

Eh ok

Couple twists kept it interesting enough. Not great not terrible. Not a typical Thor book. Filler for long drive and it was ok

Great book-miss Scott Harvath

Would you consider the audio edition of The Athena Project to be better than the print version?

The Athena Project is a great new venue for Brad Thor with the same suspense and action details that marks his styel. It as good as any of his previous books. However, I wished Scott Harvath could have been more involved. I like that character. It was, however, a bit challenging for me to keep track of all of the members of the Athena Project and after a while I had trouble differentiating betweeen them

Thor is great

I loved the new characters. Thor has a unique ability to introduce new characters & draw you in from the very beginning. I love his Scot Horvath books but the girls of Athena were right on par with him. A great book that I highly recommend.
