Summary

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…

I really wanted to like him in his first outing, but he is an egotistical, narcissistic, moronic asshole. He behaves like a shitty B-movie action hero in a 18 on rotten tomatoes film, yet the author tries repeatedly to ground the story in reality. The fact of the matter is that the main character is unlikeable, irrational, and dick, who genuinely creates 99% of the problems he faces in the book with his own behaviour. That juxtaposed with the more grounded characters surrounding him that are portrayed more like actual human being and professionals makes him seem horribly put of place. I really want to like him, but I don't.
As for the overall plot, it starts off relatively believable but there are far too many points where you are asked to suspend your disbelief for s book that tries to ground itself in reality. It feels like a tug of war between corny crappy characters and plot points, and the more serious and grounded characters and plot. Thankfully this issue isn’t nearly as prevalent as the series progresses.
So yeah, you kinda have to read this to understand the characters in later books, but keep your expectations pretty low.

Main Character is just a Insufferable Asshole
