Publisher Description
In his daring and chilling first novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author 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 President of the United States has been kidnapped and his Secret Service detail massacred. Only one agent has survived—ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn’t buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge. But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland—and joins forces with beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney’s Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus—where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known…

" Not as good as vince flynn-a little unbelievable "
— Cinxi, 2/9/2014 -
" A page turner. Great terrorist espionage book. "
— Michelle, 1/28/2014 -
" Another great author of the action/adventure book. "
— Deanna, 1/26/2014 -
" Good, solid read. The main character, Scot Harvath, is not completely one-dimensional, but I'd like to know more about him before I dig deeper into another one of these books. Great descriptions and scenery though - it's part tour guide, part action/adventure. "
— Tree, 1/24/2014 -
" Didn't enjoy this book at all. First half was not too bad but really couldn't get behind the main character who seems like a bit of a jerk. He got worse in the second half where it seemed all the females were only good for crying in Scott's arms while he trotted out cliche macho lines. Almost gave up around chapter 30 but read to the end and didn't think it got any better. Won't be reading books 2 or 3. "
— Craig, 1/19/2014 -
" Not bad ... perhaps a 7 out of 10. First book of Brad Thor's I've read, might be my last. Will try either Daniel Silva or John Sanford next, in hopes of finding an author I really enjoy. "
— Don, 1/18/2014 -
" This was a great thriller involving the kidnapping of the president and many govn't leaks. The hero was extremely likable and I couldn't put the book down. "
— Anne, 1/11/2014 -
" Not a bad read, except for the author's annoying compulsion to explain even the most mundane reference. He must think his reader is inordinately ignorant. Please, I know what Henry VIII was famous for. "
— Pat, 1/9/2014 -
" This book was great. First of a series of ten. "
— Jim, 1/4/2014 -

" Fun book, easy to follow style. I'll read more of these. "
— Greg, 11/8/2013 -
" This is the first book in Brad Thor;s "Scot Harvath" series, and is a good introduction to him. The story was a bot more complicated than needed, with superfluous problems arising, but in the end, it was a story that kept me interested from beginning to end. "
— Bruce, 2/7/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book ... it was very griping. My only complaint was the use of the "f" word. It always annoys me when bad language is used. "
— Myrna, 2/1/2013 -
" Scot Harvath series........lots of Bondesque, dodging bullets, superhuman feats of daring, with a beautiful woman in there somewhere. Thor writes with credibility "
— Marianne, 9/3/2012 -

" Audio Brain Candy:<br/><br/>Ho Hum. Poorly developed plot, characters, and setting. Need I say more? Won't be reading more Thor books. Is that his real name, anyway? "
— Jeffrey, 6/18/2011 -
" This book was great. For an authors first book I thought it was an excellent thriller. The only regret I have is the a few character plots were tied up quite fast at the end. I'm ooking forward to reading more in the series. "
