Publisher's summary

“The perfect all-American hero.” (Nelson DeMille, number one New York Times best-selling author)

Scot Harvath is on the hunt for a dangerous killer bent on world domination in this white-knuckled thrill ride from number one New York Times best-selling author Brad Thor.

America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent, Scot Harvath, to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees.

Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world - and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal and sinister enemy from the past.

Take another thrill ride with Scot Harvath.

why not unabridged?

Very good book, but I would prefer it to be unabridged. Its too short - that is why only 4 stars.

Hate this narrator

I cannot stand this narrator- he speaks like he has marbles in his mouth and is very hard to understand

My 4th Brad Thor book

I love Brad Thor! He is an amazing writer and does his research. I'm bummed every time I finish one of his books. I want it to keep going and going.
