About this listen

The number one New York Times best-selling author of the Scot Harvath series and “heir to Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum” (Chicago Tribune) returns with this unputdownable, white-knuckled thriller following the Secret Service agent as he’s on the trail of the world’s most ruthless terrorist.

After rescuing the president from kidnappers in Thor’s roaring debut, The Lions of Lucerne, Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man - the world’s most dangerous terrorist.

Only one problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they are forced to recruit a civilian - a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry.

From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before the world is engulfed in flames.

What the critics say

"...[A] blood-soaked sequel to the presidential-kidnapping debut that so arrested critics....Thor leaves little to the imagination when it comes to the cut and thrust of terrorist-busting; the action is relentless and gory, the pacing sublime, as is the authenticity of everything from weaponry to locales." ( Ottawa Citizen)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." ( Publishers Weekly)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." (Dan Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code)

Second book...and the character didn't get better

I picked up this book because i love characters like Evan Smoak, Mitch rap....Court Gentry etc. and I read that alot of people rated Harvath top tier with Mitch Rapp, so was happy to start....but nope...mid book i was rooting for the terrorist....Scott has the charm of a sandpaper...and thinks he is funny he is not....he clashes with everyone....arrogant bordering mean spirited and this over powers the reading experience for me

The story is fine, it hits all the checkmarks for this Genre....action packed, insight into that counter terrorism world, the operators world. But you ( i mean me) just can't get into it...because of the main character

Dissatisfied with the book

The narration was terrible which made a bad story worse. Too bad I wasted a valuable credit on this book.

A. ascade of cheezy clichés

How many clichés can one fit in a book? Brad Thor hammers them in like no other he must be what Danielle Steele is to romance novel. His main carachter is abnoxious, not all that likable and lacks any kind of depth. The premis is interesting but delivered so predictably. All in all, it the audio book equivalent to scrolling mindlessly down facebook, once done nothing really sticks with yoy for long.
