Publisher Description
Lethal operative Scot Harvath is dispatched to avenge the killing of American citizens abroad in #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor’s new pulse-pounding thriller.
In the war-ravaged borderlands of Ukraine, a Russian mercenary unit has gone rogue. Its members, conscripted from the worst prisons and mental asylums across Russia, are the most criminally violent, psychologically dangerous combatants to ever set foot upon the modern battlefield.
With all attention focused on the frontlines, they have pushed deeper into the interior to wage a campaign of unspeakable barbarity. As they move from village to village, committing horrific war crimes, they meet little resistance as all able-bodied men are off fighting the war.
Simultaneously, a team of Russian soldiers has been dispatched by the Kremlin to loot truckloads of art and priceless cultural treasures hidden away in a host of churches, museums, and private homes.
When multiple American aid workers are killed, America’s top spy, Scot Harvath, is sent in to settle the score. But in a country so vast, will Harvath be able to find the men in question and, more importantly, will he be able to stop them before they can kill again?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This installment of Brad Thor’s long-running Scot Harvath thriller series is as unrelenting as war itself. When a band of mercenaries called the Ravens starts rampaging through Ukraine perpetrating horrid war crimes—as well as kidnapping American altruist Anna Royko—government agent and former Navy SEAL Harvath steps in to give ’em hell. He heads to the heart of the action, assembling an international alliance of hard cases, and the fur starts flying. Thor’s thriller expertise ensures that all the explosive action in this adventure still seems true to life. He doesn’t shy away from honestly depicting the horrors of the battle, making it feel like you’re getting the story from the front lines in real time. If you like a mix of head-spinning political intrigue, nail-biting suspense, and thrilling action, dive into Dead Fall.
Customer Reviews
Very good albeit very slanted
The first part of chapter 11 was quite right on. I don’t support this war. Our politicians are corrupt. 10%for the big guy.
Bad Historical & Current Events Lecture
Brad Thor has followed Daniel Silva down the “bad current events” tube. I’ve read all of his Scott Harvath books but this is the last one. Nobody wants to be lectured on Democrat talking points in a novel.
Left hanging
Cheesy unfulfilled ending . You are left hanging. Too many references to murphys law. Not that cute.
