The Lions of Lucerne

By: Brad Thor

Narrated by: Armand Schultz

In his daring and chilling first novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor draws us into a sinister labyrinth of political intrigue and international terrorism, serving up an explosive cocktail of unrelenting action as one man is pushed to the edge.

On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the President of the United States has been kidnapped and his Secret Service detail massacred. Only one agent has survived—ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn’t buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge. But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland—and joins forces with beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney’s Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus—where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known…

A new series to read.

After finishing the complete Mitch Rapp series, I was wondering what I was going to read next. I guess I found a new personnally to follow in Scot Harvath. It took awhile to get used to a new reader , but the book ended up being very good.

Pretty good for Book 1

Any additional comments?

In looking for another good detective/spy thriller series after listening to every Mitch Rapp, Dave Robicheaux, John Corey, and Harry Bosch novel ever recorded, I stumbled upon Scot Harvath series and decided to start at the beginning with Book 1.

With the expectations that very few could match the story line, characters and writing of the above mentioned characters and their creators in my opinion, I completed The Lions of Lucerne with an open mind. Conclusion is that it was a good start to what I am hoping will be a more developed character.

Not a great book, but an enjoyable listen and enough intrigue to make me wanted to find out what happens next. When the characters were in the snow storm, avalanche or mountain climbing icy cliffs, Thor had me feeling like I was right there as an observer to were I even felt a chill. That alone prompted me to go on to the next Scot Harvath adventure, State of the Union.

Excellent! Will listen to the red of the seties

Great story and read by the perfect man. I enjoyed the various voices as the story progressed. A great introduction to the Harvath character. I can't wait to listen to others.

It was okay.

Although I enjoyed the plot, there was little suspense in this story. Characters took turns saving each other from certain death as they closed in on the bad guy. Narrator spoke very clearly and did a nice job with accents but could have used some more grit. Agent Harvath just seem too nice.

I’ll try the next book, but there are better series out there.

Bearable at best.

Story was okay. Several gaps in the story line AMD a great deal of over explaining. Performer got lost a few times using the wrong accent for specific characters. All and all is was "OK."
