Pros & Cons
Pros
The main character scot harvath is no james reese from the terminal list, but i still enjoyed reading this book. Lots of twists and turns. Reminded me of bourne.
Brad thor's novels are often compared to tom clancy's. There are occasions when thor seems to engage in some deus ex machina plotwork. Harvath is definitely on par with mitch rapp! Thor's writing and plotting are dynamic and exhilarating.
Cons
This is so moronic. Painful to follow. It’s bad for my heart. It deteriorates from there.
This book is not in the same league as child or baldacci. Much of the book is tedious and aggravating. The dialogue in this novel is worse than an episode of ncis.
He loses his super detector ring. The prologue is ludicrous.
Highlights

If one likes to read on kindle the price is fair but any new or used books in this series are very expensive like 32 plus for a used one
Shipping
Obviously loved the fast paced action and twists and turns
Competitiveness
Well developed characters with shootouts from the usa to europe

Brad thor’s novels are often compared to tom clancy’s and with good reason
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Given that the book takes places over a roughly twoweek time frame harvath’s physical exploits strained credulity because of injuries he sustained at the beginning of the story

Moreover there are occasions when thor seems to engage in some deus ex machina plotwork such as harvath’s fake passports
