About this listen

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.

Take another thrill ride with Scot Harvath.©2004 Brad Thor (P)2011 Simon & Schuster Audio Espionage Genre Fiction Military Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense War & Military Fiction Exciting Russia Superhero War Solider

I’ve been enjoying this series but, for whatever reason audible does not have the next book available and wants me to go from book 3 to 5. Don’t think I’ll bother as books 2 and 3 built upon book 1. Pretty shoddy actually. If you’re doing a series, have them all available, or don’t bother.

Good action

On a par with Mitch Rapps early adventures by Vince Flynn. Brilliant read. Ten out of ten.

Epic espionage

I read this book ages ago and enjoyed it. Just Revisited it on Audible and still loved it!
Reminiscent of Vince Flynn’s characters. An enjoyable story and great narration.

The story, like those before in the series, seems excellent. However, the change of narrator is a huge disappointment. His diction is frequently unclear with words running together and there was little ‘acting’ involved. This made it difficult at times to know who was speaking, as so many characters sound the same. In particular, the main character of Scott sounds close to the narrators own voice. I frequently had to rewind parts that I’d missed. I’ll skip forward in the series to the books narrated again by Schulz. Pity, as this is a terrific series.

Great story, difficult narrator
