Publisher's Summary

America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees.

Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world - and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal and sinister enemy from the past.

Voices

I felt the character voices could have been done better, more differentiation, especially those of the female characters.

Love Reference to Home

Loving the voice actor, although I believe I still prefer Schultz. Probably just used to him from the first couple books.

Other than that I take pride in hearing my home province getting recognized by the author. Not very often people acknowledge Canada's most eastern province and for that, Thor has my deepest appreciation and a renewed dedication in his works.

Brad Thor

No more Scot Horvath stories for me. I’ve found the storylines less and less believable and very disappointing. What a waste of an otherwise talented author.

Cliché after cliché

Terrible plot with not believable situations /solutions connected with verbal and situational cliches. I have not read a book from this series for several years and now I remember why.
