Product Description
July 4th weekend, New York City:As thousands of holiday travelers make their way out of Manhattan, a flawlessly executed terrorist attack plunges the city into a maelstrom of panic and death. Amidst the chaos, an elite team of foreign soldiers is systematically searching for one of their own, a man so powerful that the U.S. government refuses to admit he even exists and will do anything to keep him hidden. Now, with the world's deadliest enemy upon America's doorstep, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must fight his way through the burning city streets to take down an invisible terrorist mastermind with the means to unleash hell on a global scale.

great summer read, thriller, fast paced and love the central character scot harvath. am a robert ludlam fan and thor's books are similar in the intrigue, mystery, action. right now reading a fourth book of his. can't beat it for reading on the deck and we all know there is nothing on tv.

5 out of 5 starsEscape from New York/Die Hard 3's Literary Equivalent, 2008-04-15
Brad Thor has written another page-turning pulse-pounding thriller here, and this one is going to have you flashing back to the above-named movies as the action races through a New York City gone wild due to terrorist bombings on all bridges and tunnels. Thankfully, Scot Horvath is already in NYC and its up to him to save the day. Suspend your disbelief and you'll be propelled into a terrific thriller. Start thinking about it and you'll be rolling your eyes.

I recommend it highly for sheer entertainment value. Seek literary greatness elsewhere.

3 out of 5 starsMore Terror in New York City, 2008-02-19
This book is a bit how you would expect it to be. Islamic terrorists strike New York City killing scores of people and wreak havoc on Manhattan, which also happens to be the current location of covert officers operating under the law. Not surprisingly, weapons are quickly assembled, information is gathered and a chase ensues. The story moves rapidly and I stayed interested until the end, but the book is average for this genre. The author left the book wide open for a sequential story. Who knows if I'll get to the next book or not.

1 out of 5 starsVince Flynn Wannabe, 2008-02-04
One word to describe Brad Thor's latest: Vince-Flynn-Wannabe. While there is nothing BAD about this national security thriller, there isn't one good thing about it either. Simply put, the prose is lifeless and the plot is wholly derivative. Why drink (flat) beer when you can lift a flute of champagne? Forget about Thor and stick with Vince Flynn!
