About this ebook

“Thor tops himself again and again.” —Bookreporter
“Feels like the TV show 24 on the page.” —Associated Press

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor presents his greatest thriller ever—an action-packed literary tour de force!

Hidden deep within one of the world’s most powerful organizations is a secret committee with a devastating agenda. Its members are afforded incredible protections—considered elites, untouchables.

But when four seconds of video is captured halfway around the world and anonymously transmitted to DC, covert wheels are set in motion, and counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath is tapped to undertake the deadliest assignment of his career.

What begins as a favor will evolve into a globe-spanning drama of highly personal stakes played out against a backdrop of stunning international intrigue, duplicitous political gamesmanship, and the darkest, most clandestine fears of the espionage world.

With razor-sharp plotting, richly rendered characters, and heart-stopping surprises on every page, Thor isn’t just at the top of his game—he owns the entire genre.

Ratings and reviews

Seemed all right for a few pages, then the ridiculous question of whether victims could be, horror of horrors, women and children reared its antediluvian snout -- I stopped reading and deleted immediately. Always a tragedy when children are killed, but this silly notion that there's an equal tragedy in the killing of "innocent" women is simply not true.

Just like all of Brad Thor's thrillers, this latest one kept me reading far past my bedtime. A thoroughly satisfying read that packs in the fast paced bullet flying action with devious plots, cunning villains and believable complexity in the way the end of the world scenario comes together. Scot Harvath is one of the few fictional characters I wish I could meet in real life. Way to go Scot!

These Scot Harvath books blow me away! They're so full of adventure and excitement that I read the books as fast as the action is going on. If he thinks for 2 pages I'm thinking "Come on, they've been waiting for your answer for 2 minutes and we need it right now!" I just plow through these books. I'm reading Jack Reacher books now also. Scott Harvath HANDS DOWN!
