Publisher Description
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…
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Action thriller maestro Brad Thor got his start with this electrifying adventure. President Rutledge is politically popular enough to get his fossil fuel reduction act through Congress—it’s the shadowy cabal of political enemies, power-mad industrialists, and deadly mercenaries who are out to stop him. When the group kidnaps the president on a ski vacation, though, they leave the wrong Secret Service agent alive to take the fall. Now, Olympic hero turned Navy SEAL Scot Harvath is striking out on his own to bring the commander in chief back alive. Thor sends his hero on an international thrill ride filled with hissable bad guys, treacherous double agents, violent ambushes, near-miss escapes—and of course, a gorgeous European legal investigator who’s on his side. Narrator Armand Schultz’s crisp, matter-of-fact delivery is perfect for the edge-of-your-seat plot. The Lions of Lucerne is a great 21st-century take on an old-fashioned, two-fisted action thriller.
