About this eBook
The #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor delivers his most frightening and pulse-pounding thriller ever!
After a CIA agent mysteriously dies overseas, his top asset surfaces with a startling and terrifying claim. There’s just one problem—no one knows if she can be trusted.
But when six exchange students go missing, two airplane passengers trade places, and one political-asylum seeker is arrested, a deadly chain of events is set in motion.
With the United States facing an imminent and devastating attack, America’s new president must turn to covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath to help carry out two of the most dangerous operations in the country’s history.
Code-named “Gold Dust” and “Blackbird,” they are shrouded in absolute secrecy as either of them, if discovered, will constitute an act of war.

The plot seems a bit too far fetched. Would the Chines really go to all the trouble of setting up fake farms in N. Korea? The ending seemed rushed.

Is this supposed to be a thriller? My first harvath book but found it underwhelming. I just could not get my head around the whole N. Korean adventure on both the American and Chinese sides.

Thor's novels - especially Act of War - read like the scariest possible headline in tomorrow's newspaper. Just glad we have real Horvath's out there on the front lines!
