Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and #1 Publishers Weekly bestselling author, Brad Thor, comes Blowback.
Scot Harvath’s counterterrorism career has just crashed and burned—thanks in part to a ruthless senator with her sights set on the White House. But when the war on terror takes a chilling turn, the president has no choice but to secretly bring Harvath back inside. Deep beneath an Alpine glacier, an ancient weapon designed to decimate the Roman Empire has been unearthed—and a shadowy organization intends to use it for America’s downfall. Racing across Europe, Harvath must secure the ultimate instrument of destruction before it brings the United States and the rest of the world to their knees.

"This was the audio version. It was hard to put down, a great spy story with a plot line built around a radical muslim terrorist plot using biological warfare. It was a long story, but the constant change in characters and locales kept you interested. Not to mention that it was read by George Guidall."
— Gloria (4 out of 5 stars)

" Thor comes up with interesting plots "
— Joan, 2/20/2014 -
" Another Scot Horvath adventure... "
— Karen, 2/17/2014 -
" It would probably be somehwere inbetween three and four stars if I could have my way. I really liked it. I just got a little confused at times about who was who. So, I had to go back and re-read parts. This was a really intriguing story!! And I learned more about the different groups in the Middle East than I have from any other source. Pretty interesting stuff. At the end I began to wonder how much of it was true...because some of the story line went into what the different groups are trying to accomplish. Anyway, it was a good read. "

" I have enjoyed reading Thors books. "
— Fish1224, 2/11/2014 -
" THis was my first introduction to the series by Thor, and it was enough to get me hooked! I love all the mystery/intrigue/murder and mayhem that these kind of books bring into my dull suburban life! "
— Kym, 1/24/2014 -
" Scott is just a allrounder, skiing, climbing ......wow ;-) "
— Uwe, 1/21/2014 -
" I wish I could say I liked this book. But the book read like somebody trying to get movie rights sold. Not tell a good story "
— Chris, 1/9/2014 -
" Good book, but a little drawn out. There's lots of action and the story line keeps going and going and going. Not my favorite so far in the series. "
— Larry, 1/8/2014 -
" Each of Brad Thor's books delivers action, mystery, intrigue . . .and history. This book was the best fo the four I have read so far. This could either be Brad Thor's becoming a more accomplished and skillful author or my becoming a better more familiar consumer of his stories. "
— Don, 1/5/2014 -
" Still has that feeling of contrivance that marks Thor's novels, but the character and series development was a lot stronger in this one. Harvath is beginning to become a more real, more likable character. "
— Buddy, 12/25/2013 -
" A fun mystery/thriller. "
— Shay, 12/21/2013 -
" This was a real thriller by Brad Thorn. "
— Cliff, 12/16/2013 -
" Another great action pack novel by BT "
— Dave, 12/8/2013 -
" Probably my least favorite in the series thus far. It was too filled with historical discussions and information that broke up the action and made the story drag. "
— Paul, 11/6/2013 -
" Love this author. He can really write and you get sucked into the story. "
— Lorna, 9/22/2013 -
" Another solid Scot Harvath adventure, this time with a bit of a Dan Brown-esque plot about an ancient bio-weapon. "
— Kyle, 9/3/2013 -
" I skipped most of the middle of this book--just wasn't my cup of tea. I have read several of Thor's other books featuring Scott Havarath and enjoyed them, but this wasn't one I cared for (plot-wise). "
— Carrie, 6/5/2013 -
" I jumped right into this series and flew through the first ones. This one was overly detailed for me. It was almost like reading a history book (which is great for people who really want to dig in). I was just looking to kick back with an action novel and this one hurt my brain. "
— Tina, 1/28/2013 -
" Didn't love this book, not really a page turner. Kind of bogged down in all the details. Maybe 2 1/2 stars, I think that Brad Thor and Scot Harvath are kind of a poor man's version of Vince Flynn and Mitch Rapp. "
— woody, 12/5/2012 -
" Not as good as other Brad Thor books but still a great thriller, summer read. Still looking to read the latest Brad Thor, but it's still in paperback. "
— Resnikfamily, 9/2/2012 -
" Very similar style to the Da Vinci Code. Definitely a page-turner and an easy read, but pretty mindless. I'd recommend it though if you're looking for something to keep you entertained "
— Sara, 7/15/2012 -
" Harvath #4 "
— Bill, 4/20/2012 -
" If you like Vince Flynn then you will like Brad Thor. This book is part of the Scot Harvath series. I didn't realize and now I have to read back to the beginning of the series. Truly enjoyed this book. "
— Mary, 3/26/2012 -
" Fast moving thriller. "
— Mailmanr5, 6/30/2011 -

— Judy, 2/3/2011 -
" Scot Harvath is quite a character. This story of intrigue in the Middle East is eye opening and interesting. "
— Diane, 1/25/2011 -
" This was another really good Brad Thor book. I couldn't put it down towards the end of the book. "
— Bill, 10/13/2010 -
" Pretty good for Brad Thor nonsense. "

" Thought the story line about Hannibal was intersting although the ending was a bit much. "
— Sandra, 8/29/2010 -
" My first Brad Thor book. I liked how he was able to weave the different threads of the story together and keep me interested in the plot and sub-plots. Also enjoyed the history lessons. "
— Tricia, 7/27/2010 -
" Not Brad Thor's best effort, but an entertaining read nonetheless. "
