INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
#1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
Deadly operative Scot Harvath faces down democracy’s most powerful enemy in #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor’s white-knuckle thriller.
High in the Himalayas, armed with a host of barbaric, improvised weapons, Chinese troops ambush a contingent of highly decorated Indian soldiers. The brutal, hand-to-hand combat lasts for over six hours, destabilizing the already tenuous relationship between the two nuclear neighbors.
Fearful of the global consequences of engaging Beijing head-on, countless United States administrations have passed the buck. But when a covert American diplomat tasked with negotiating an Asian version of NATO is murdered on the streets of Jaipur, doing nothing is no longer an option. It is time to unleash Scot Harvath.
Thrust into a completely unfamiliar culture, with few he can trust, the danger begins to mount the moment Harvath lands in India. Amidst multiple competing forces and a host of deadly agendas, it is nearly impossible to tell predator from prey. With democracy itself hanging in the balance, Harvath will risk everything to untangle the explosive plot and bring every bad actor to justice.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this international thriller, the murder of an undercover operative sheds light on a covert Chinese offensive. After the assassination of an old colleague, American superspy Scot Harvath is sent to the troubled border of India and China to investigate. Joining forces with a retired Indian cop, Harvath soon realizes that he and his wisecracking comrade must face off against Asia’s largest superpower to solve the murder—and defend democracy. Brad Thor’s exceptional talent for crafting riveting fiction out of real global issues puts us right in the center of this political maelstrom, leading to an explosive climax. This is one breathless thriller.
Customer Reviews
Pretty solid
I thought this was a pretty good entry. It certainly takes place in a country we don’t see often in thrillers and it brought something unique to the story. I still have issues with characters and their development or lack there of (every hero seems to like funk, is a patriot and thinks the same way). If we could just get some characters with differences it would make this series stand out.

Ok
Very easy read but too predictable and no surprises to add to the plot. Not one of the Scot Harvath books I would spend money on.
