" This was not my favorite of Brad Thor's books. There were some graphic descriptions of torture by the "good guys" that seemed a little over the top to me. I'll continue to read his books, though, as on the whole, I like them very much. "

" Typical Brad Thor (hunting down the terrorists and other evil plots that destroy civilization as we know it...) But I actually liked this one more than some of his others. Scott is tasked with getting a terrorist OUT of jail...backed on American soil a terrorist plot unfolds... "

" I'VE READ SEVERAL BRAD THOR/SCOT HARVARTH NOVELS (I'M WORKING MY WAY THROUGH THE SERIES) AND WHILE THIS WASN'T HIS BEST, IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. ONE THING THAT STRUCK ME WERE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN TREVANIAN'S "SHIBUMI" AND THOR'S "FOREIGN INFLUENCE". IN SHIBUMI, NICOLAI HEL HAD AN ALLY WHO WAS A LITTLE PERSON KNOWN AS THE DWARF. HE SOLD INFORMATION FOR POWER AND INFLUENCE. IN THOR'S BOOK, THERE IS A LITTLE PERSON CALLED THE TROLL WHO ALSO PEDDLES INFORMATION. THOR'S "TROLL HAS ACTUALLY APPEARED IN EARLIER BOOKS. ALSO, BOTH BOOKS ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THE BASQUE CULTURE, AND THE BASQUE POLITICAL GROUP KNOWN AS ETA. HEL LIVES IN THE BASQUE PART OF FRANCE, AND SPEAKS BASQUE. THOR TRAVELS TO BASQUE CONTROLLED SPAIN WHERE THE TROLL LIVES.BOTH BOOKS INVOLVE AN ACT OF TERRORISM WHICH OCCURS IN ROME. DID ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS READ BOTH BOOKS CATCH THE SIMILARITIES? I'M NOT NECESSARILY SAYING THAT THOR CANNIBALIZED SOME OF TREVANIAN'S IDEAS (SHIBUMI WAS WRITTEN IN 1979), I'M JUST SAYIN'. BY THE WAY, ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ SHIBUMI SHOULD DO SO. IT'S AWESOME. IN FACT, DON WINSLOW WHO WROTE THE BOOK "SAVAGES" WHICH WAS RECENTLY MADE INTO A MOVIE WROTE A VERY GOOD PREQUEL TO "SHIBUMI" CALLED "SATORI". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH BOOKS. IN FACT, I RECOMMEND EVERY BOOK BY WINSLOW AND TREVANIAN. THEY ARE BOTH GREAT AUTHORS. "

" I like Brad Thor's wriing and I like the characters very much. I have followed his books since his first one -- The Lions of Lucerne. However, I don't appreciate being hit over the head with his political views. This is becoming more of a problem for me with each passing book. "

" This was a "fun read". Bought it at an airport and read it on vacation. Some predictably conservative undertones and a bit too light in its treatment of torture, but as a "spy thriller" I enjoyed it.

" Decently entertaining story, but too graphic in its' depictions of violence, too prone to editorializing on the state of terror prevention techniques, and a sloppy ending that relies too heavily on an explain-everything epilog and a setup for the next book in the series. Sloppy writing. Meh.
