About this audiobook

In a world shrouded in shadows, where doubt is the only weapon, can one spy expose the truth? #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor delivers his latest high-octane thriller.

A mysterious cargo plane, flanked by a squadron of Russia’s most lethal fighters, has just taken off from a remote airbase. Closely monitored by the United States, no one inside the Pentagon has any idea where it’s going or what it’s carrying.

A high-level Russian defector, a walking vault of secrets that could shatter the West, seeks asylum in Norway. Across the continent, in the heart of Paris, a lone French agent stumbles upon a conspiracy so explosive it could ignite a global firestorm.

As alarm bells ring in Washington, the CIA’s most lethal weapon, Scot Harvath, is forced to choose between his conscience and his country.

You’ll be left breathless as Harvath is swept into a whirlwind of double agents, international intrigue, and heart-stopping chases.

Ratings and reviews

Frankly, this one felt a little messy to me, too many plates spinning at once. 90% of the French domestic intelligence plot line felt pointless. And once that last personal target comes up for Harvath I pretty much checked out, they were so irrelevant. If we are truly not going to get Harvath in the driver's seat of the Carlton group, this could serve as a good off-ramp for his character. I could see one final book after this, have Scott utterly ruin his body in a campaign to permanently put the Russians in their place, then retire. Have him lead a mechanized merc strike force through the front doors of the Kremlin itself, idk.

One of Brad Thor's best yet!! fantastic book! I can't wait to see where Scot Harvath goes in the next book!!!
