"The best thriller of the year...an exciting and entertaining read."
--The Washington Times
"A top-notch thriller." --Bill O'Reilly
From #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling
author Brad Thor--a brilliant thriller as "current as tomorrow's
headlines" (Dan Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Terrorism in Europe has spun out of control. The United States has
decided on a dramatic response. Now, the CIA needs a very special kind
of operative.
Scot Harvath has exactly the skills the CIA is looking for. He's a
former U.S. Navy SEAL with extensive experience in espionage. Working
for a private intelligence company, he will provide the CIA, and more
important, the President, with absolute deniability.
But deep within the Russian Caucasus, Moscow also has its own special
kind of operative. As a child, Sacha Baseyev endured an unimaginable
horror. Today, he lives and breathes for only one reason--to kill. And
he will kill as many Americans as it takes to accomplish his mission.
When a clandestine American operations team is ambushed near Syria, all
signs point toward a dangerous informant in Brussels. But as Harvath
searches for the man, he uncovers another actor--a rogue player
hell-bent on forcing America's hand and drawing it into a confrontation
deadlier than anyone could have imagined.
As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the
White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life. From Vienna,
Brussels, and Berlin, to Malta, Jordan, and Syria--he will push himself
beyond the edge in order to confront one of the greatest evils the world
has ever known.
