Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Scot Harvath series and “heir to Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum” (Chicago Tribune) returns with this unputdownable, white-knuckled thriller following the Secret Service agent as he’s on the trail of the world’s most ruthless terrorist.
After rescuing the President from kidnappers in Thor’s roaring debut, The Lions of Lucerne, Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man—the world’s most dangerous terrorist.
Only one problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they are forced to recruit a civilian—a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry. From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before the world is engulfed in flames.
Customer Reviews
It’s like a vacation to the islands in the Middle East cool
Love the imagery
Trash.
I have never been less interested in finishing a book. The lead character is wooden and bland with emotions Thor has to state with more cliches “Harvath’s blood ran ‘cold as ice…’” because he apparently cannot demonstrate them. The actions scenes are written to reveal Thor has either no interest in learning from men who fought and fight or Thor cannot write them. For example, no SEAL or trained operator blithely tosses and racked weapon to a buddy while driving a car. Thor’s de-brief scenes are utter agony as he simple recounts in the mouths of stickmen the blocky, thin action the reader just endured. If this is how he writes, I cannot wait to never read another Thor book.
