Publisher's summary

In Brad Thor's highest-voltage thriller to date, Scot Harvath must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to stop militant Islam dead in its tracks.

June, A.D. 632: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated.

September 1789: U.S. minister to France Thomas Jefferson, charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery - one that could forever impact the world's relationship with Islam.

Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian café, Navy Seal turned covert Homeland Security Operative Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind.

Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to an amazing and perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all without firing another shot, dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action. But there are powerful men who are determined that Mohammed's mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.

Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "quite possibly the next coming of Robert Ludlum", Brad Thor takes listeners across the globe on a heart-pounding chase in which the stakes are higher than they have ever been.

Great book

You just can't stop with brad Thor. I love how real everything is. I've been to the bases and cities, his research is spot on

Great Change of Pace

I loved how Thor used historical material and created a new dimension for Scott in this novel. It real added more depth to Scott and it was nice to see him resolve his issues with Rutledge. I wish this series would be made into a television series. I think it could be up there like 24.

Thor and Guidall - Five Star Combo

Guidall gives masculine characters masculine voices, great accents, and emotion. Thor writes an entertaining, fast paced novel. Add them together, a perfect combo.

GReat listen but.....

Some of the book got a lil long with explanations. Found myself drifting off in thought during some of those times. But other than that, it was great as usual!

Exceptional on all points!

A well written and relevant story. Mr. Guidall narrated the book brilliantly. Well worth the time and money.

What a wonderful book

awesome book all the way through recommend it to everyone Brad Thor is awesome period

New to Novels

Brad Thor's books were recommended to me by a friend. I don't read fiction novels much but she insisted. I have to say that I was captivated the entire time I was listening!! I will be listening to more Brad Thor novels!

Enjoyable Read

What did you love best about The Last Patriot?

I enjoyed the tale and the suspense. It was solid, I like the take of the story line...it was believable,so much so that I must admit, the bits of the tale I was hoping was based on fact, I was disappointed to learn they were not true. I like SH's strength of character, his loyalty to his country and the fact that he finally settled down...sort of.

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

The stake outs, the fact that I never knew what to expect from the antagonist, I must admit, up to the end, I was not sure how I wanted him to end, but it was a satisfactory end. The fact that you never knew what was going to happen next, right to the end. So many twists and turns.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

Solid reader. His characters' voices are different at times. I know when Gary is speaking, vs the President, vs Scot. There are times when he pauses, and you need it, to catch your breath from what recently happened.

Any additional comments?

I am about to buy the next one, I can only hope it is as good. So far, so good.
