Publisher's Summary
In a daring and chilling debut, 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 unthinkable has just become a nightmarish reality: 30 Secret Service agents have been viciously executed and the vacationing president of the United States kidnapped by one of the most lethal terrorist organizations in the Middle East - the Fatah Revolutionary Council.
But surviving agent and ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath doesn't believe the Fatah Revolutionary Council is responsible for the attack. Driven by his professional code of duty and honor, Harvath creates his own rules to get some answers. But his search for the truth raises the blood pressure of his superiors...and casts his own life in mortal jeopardy. The deadly machinations have been set in motion by a shadowy coalition, comprising some of the highest-ranking officials in government and business - men who operate above the law, men who realize the threat Harvath poses to their hidden agenda...men who will do anything to stop him.
Framed for murder and on the run, Harvath takes his own brand of justice to the towering mountains of Switzerland where he finds an improbable ally in the beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney's Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus - and enter the den of the most notorious team of professional killers the world has ever known.

Main Character is just a Insufferable Asshole
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.

Just as you would hope ... Excellent!
Typical Rapp, Gentry, and Reece with a tad of Reacher. For those who love this genre, it's exactly what you need to waste away a little of your day and enjoy some imaginary time with specialists that do it all with little remorse, much professionalism and a heaping spoonful of luck! I loved it and cannot wait to binge the series.

Predictable
Very predictable events and characters. Characters over played and not very believable. Also some scenes drawn out too much.

Super cheesy writing
Tired dialogue that one could find in any dime store detective book - I mean, who actually says ‘yuk yuk yuk’ when mimicking someone laughing? 🤦♀️. It’s too bad as the premise was interesting. If the book weren’t so cheesy it could have promise. I felt like it was catering to the intellect of 12 year old boys

B-rate action story.
Not too bad as long as your expectations aren’t too high, and your tolerance for all the usual action hero cliches is set to medium.

Piece o' Crap
Couldn't even finish. They dialogs is so bad, it's comical. Too much focus/detail on items not critical to the plot.
