" You have to love the Tom Clancy mode of "guy saves the world" but I do and this one was good. Hard time putting it down near the end. "

" Great book. Anyone looking for a realistic glimpse into the inner workings of counter terrorism should check this book out. The pages in this book seem to turn themselves. "

" 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. "

" This felt like a Jack-Reacher-wanna-be novel. Not as well written, but it was ok. "

Ronica | 12/5/2013
" I was a little apprehensive about this one after reading some of the reviews ... It was really long and fairly intricate, but it was great as an audio book. The narrator was perfect for this book. "

Barbara | 9/14/2012
" 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. "

Teroll | 7/14/2012
" I really enjoy these Scot Harvath novels, although the terrorist angle is starting to become a little cliche. "
-




Lindsay | 5/8/2012
" Another great novel f/t Scot Harvath. Give Thor a try if you like reading Baldacci, Flynn, Silva, etc. "

Karen | 6/28/2011
" This was my first Thor novel and I am hooked. I like the Clancyesque style and it is a much easier read. The good looking guy on the back jacket was also a plus. I am definitely going to read the other eight.

Michael | 6/2/2011
" 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.

" Brain Candy (BC) thriller. Starts out like amateur hour for authers but pulls you in.

" I really enjoy reading Mr. Thor books. His does a wonder job of developing his characters. Again Scot Harvath has been called into action.
"

Chris | 3/8/2011
" 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 e
nding that relies too heavily on an explain-everything epilog and a setup for the next book in the series. Sloppy writing. Meh.

" Still like Scot Harvath's abilities and ingenuity. And his wish to have a family.
