Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Brad Thor delivers his most frightening and pulse-pounding thriller ever!

After a CIA agent mysteriously dies overseas, his top asset surfaces with a startling and terrifying claim. There’s just one problem - no one knows if she can be trusted.

But when six exchange students go missing, two airplane passengers trade places, and one political-asylum seeker is arrested, a deadly chain of events is set in motion.

With the United States facing an imminent and devastating attack, America's new president must turn to covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath to help carry out two of the most dangerous operations in the country’s history.

Code-named "Gold Dust" and "Blackbird", they are shrouded in absolute secrecy as either of them, if discovered, will constitute an act of war.

Worth a second listen!

When I find a really good book I will often listen to it more than once and find it just as good or even better the second time. This is one of those books! Lots of action, secrets, spies, sleeper cells, horrific plots. In short, all the ingredients for an edge of your seat thriller. Not one I can listen to right before bed!

First Rate!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Anyone who favors this genre needs to read this take on a vexing possibility.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, because of the bounce between N. Korea and the rest of the action.

What does Armand Schultz bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Superb vocalizations

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You think they wouldn't do it?

Any additional comments?

Poignant Premise

Very interesting premise, particularly in our current socio-economic situation. Would've enjoyed more plot than character development of secondary & tertiary characters.

Act of War

The stories are incredible!! Unfortunately each wraps up to quickly. With so much detail in the books would be great to also really expand on the finish. As in this one how the Americans (Harvath) got to the charter boat in Florida to capture Chung Nd the Princlings. Such great story but just climax and end too quickly. Give us some more story and suspense to end them. Nevertheless I am hooked and will continue reading. I love the stories and the brutal PC honesty on terrorists Islam China and Russia

Great Book. Not long enough!

Overall a great continuation of one of the best action series I've ever listened to. It's just too bad the books are so short!
