INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
“Fast-paced...pulse-pounding...supremely entertaining…His best ever.” —The Washington Times
“This might be the single greatest thriller I’ve covered....It’s amazing!” —The Real Book Spy
Scot Harvath returns in the newest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor.
The world’s largest bounty has just been placed upon America’s top spy. His only hope for survival is to outwit, outrun, and outlast his enemies long enough to get to the truth.
But for Scot Harvath to accomplish his most dangerous mission ever—one that has already claimed the lives of the people closest to him, including his new wife—he’s going to need help—a lot of it.
Not knowing whom he can trust, Harvath finds an unlikely ally in Norwegian intelligence operative Sølvi Kolstad. Just as smart, just as deadly, and just as determined, she not only has the skills, but also the broken, troubled past to match Harvath’s own.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s nothing quite as dangerous as a spy with nothing left to lose. This riveting instalment in Brad Thor’s long-running Scot Harvath action series opens with the operative devastated by grief. His closest loved ones and even his new wife are all dead, collateral damage in his violent world of espionage. As he bounces from one beach to another in an alcoholic haze, a chance bar fight leads to a strange discovery—there’s a gigantic bounty on his head, but no one knows who placed it or why. Thor blends Scot’s tortured emotional baggage into the thrilling set pieces, making this way more intense than your average action-adventure story. We found ourselves genuinely invested, pulling for Scot to claw his way out of the darkness and return to life as a covert operative, even if only to avenge his personal losses. Visceral and explosively intense, Near Dark takes this espionage series to the next level.
Customer Reviews
Amazingly good
Firstly, the only bad thing is that we might have to wait another year for the next book from Brad Thor. Near Dark is his best thriller yet, and he set the bar really high for other authors. The quality of the research, plot and writing style is an explosive combination. I’m a Norwegian, and there is quite a lot from Norway in this book. Normally I’m used to writers making stuff up, but here every detail is 100% and seing this, brings an extra layer of quality experience to the book. You almost find it sad when you are finished as you want more and more.
