Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Brad Thor, comes the white-knuckled thriller The Apostle.
A new administration and a new approach to dealing with America’s enemies have left covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath without a job. But when American doctor Julia Gallo is kidnapped in Afghanistan, the terms of her ransom leave the president with only one course of action.
In a dangerous assignment that the United States government will deny any knowledge of, Scot Harvath must secretly infiltrate Kabul’s notorious Policharki Prison and free the man the kidnappers demand as ransom—al-Qaeda mastermind Mustafa Khan.
But when Harvath arrives, he quickly learns that there is more to the kidnapping than anyone dares to admit. And as the subterfuge is laid bare, Harvath must examine his own career of hunting down and killing terrorists, and ask himself if he has what it takes to help one of the world’s worst go free.
Brimming with the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity Brad Thor’s internationally bestselling novels are known for, The Apostle doubles down on the blockbuster success of The Last Patriot and reaffirms Thor’s status as the master of the political thriller.
Customer Reviews
Good story
A good story and always like it when the good guys win.
Love the stories, hate the narrator
Great character, moving action, good story-telling. But…
I realize Schultz has already recorded all subsequent audiobooks in this series, so this is just spitting in the wind, but boy is it painful listening to his monotone, staccato, flat reading. George Guidall was a true voice actor who brought a natural cadence and reality to the author’s words. Why they abandoned him in favor of Schultz, I’ll never understand. He’s just reading the words with a single pervasive tone, which is often off-target, and has no sense of inflection and tenor.
