Publisher's summary

When the president of the United States is blackmailed into releasing five detainees from Guantanamo Bay, a sadistic assassin with a vendetta years in the making is reactivated. Suddenly, the people closest to counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath are being targeted and he realizes that somehow, somewhere he has left the wrong person alive.

With his life plunged into absolute peril, and the president ordering him to stay out of the investigation, Harvath must mount his own covert plan for revenge - and in so doing will uncover shattering revelations about the organizations and the nation he has spent his life serving.

Take another thrill ride with superagent Scot Harvath.

to be honest, Brad's books that are narrated by George are simply more engaging and captivating. of course the story itself is the more captivating but the voice makes a great difference. thank you

Really great series. Can’t wait for the next book!

This book series has a great cast of characters and keeps you guessing. The overall storylines in the books are intertwined and well written. Harvath is a character to be respected and you hope we have real patriots like him in this world.

Great series. This one was pretty good.

The book is part of the Scott Horvath series And as would be expected it is a continuation of all past novels. The 1st 2 books had a completely different narrator who was far and away superior. This fellow while he is clearly a clearly a mature and distinguished gentleman his ability to replicate accents from various cultures is poor. That does not take away from the fact that the book is still very interesting. However it leaves a weird taste in my mouth when Accents are inappropriately used and misused misused. The story is Lori is interesting and horrific at times Especially when at times the protagonist the protagonist makes ridiculous mistakes and gets caught with his pants down when a supposed agent of his caliber would never do so. I still enjoy reading these books or rather listening to these books while I'm in the car stuck in traffic or while I am cycling around in Santa Monica. It's a great way to pass the time without having to think do think about reality.. Happy listening!
