وصف الناشر
Brad Thor, master of suspenseful and action-packed military thrillers and #1 New York Times bestselling author is back with his highest-voltage novel to date in which Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to stop militant Islam dead in its tracks.
June 632 AD: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated.
September 1789: US Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, who is charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery—one that could forever impact the world’s relationship with Islam and ignite a new chapter in political espionage.
Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian café, Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind. Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to a perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all. But as desperate as the American government is to have the information brought to light, there are powerful forces determined that Mohammed’s mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.
What Jason Bourne was to the Cold War, Scot Harvath is to the global War on Terror. The Last Patriot is a high-stakes descent into the world of spycraft and black ops that is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller's Thor's intriguing seventh Scot Horvath novel, Scot, a former navy SEAL who's recently quit working for Homeland Security, pursues a mystery involving a recently discovered ancient Koran. Differing from the original, this Koran suggests a secret exists that, if revealed, will change the entire nature of the warlike extremist versions of Islam. Furthermore, it has links to Thomas Jefferson and his war on Muslim pirates (think: "to the shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Corps hymn), handwritten notes in Jefferson's first-edition copy of Don Quixote and other clues hidden in Jefferson's Monticello home. First, Scot has to make up with his boss, President Jack Rutledge, who used him badly in his previous outing, The First Commandment, but once that's done, Scot finds himself in the thick of a furious battle. Fortunately, Scot's romance with girlfriend Tracy Hastings remains offstage. A stunning revelation on the last page will surprise even the most savvy thriller readers. 10-city author tour.

Something To Think About
4 Stars. Even though Thor explained that he bent facts into fiction in some ways in this one, I always feel like I learn something reading him, fiction or not. This was a very interesting story. Believable to the end. It showed how religion controls and in my opinion, was created in a large part to do just that. The fact that there are Revelations that could change entire parts of a worldwide religion is truly frightening to consider.
Harvath was great, once again. Can’t wait for the next chapter in his story.
A True Thriller
Well written and fast paced.
I enjoyed every page.

Thomas Jefferson clearly understood the threat that radical muslims, who followed their version of the Koran meant to America.These terroists will at nothing to achieve their goals.Murder is second nature to them. An explosive action packed thriller. My highest recommendation!!
