About this listen

The number one New York Times best-selling author of the Scot Harvath series and “heir to Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum” (Chicago Tribune) returns with this unputdownable, white-knuckled thriller following the Secret Service agent as he’s on the trail of the world’s most ruthless terrorist.

After rescuing the president from kidnappers in Thor’s roaring debut, The Lions of Lucerne, Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man - the world’s most dangerous terrorist.

Only one problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they are forced to recruit a civilian - a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry.

From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before the world is engulfed in flames.

Critic Reviews

"...[A] blood-soaked sequel to the presidential-kidnapping debut that so arrested critics....Thor leaves little to the imagination when it comes to the cut and thrust of terrorist-busting; the action is relentless and gory, the pacing sublime, as is the authenticity of everything from weaponry to locales." ( Ottawa Citizen)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." ( Publishers Weekly)
"If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair....the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed." (Dan Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code)

A Good Read

I like the way Brad has done some decent research prior to writing. His stories/'Harvath' series are a cracking good read. Read the whole series and now slipping into Audibly Books for a second 'read'.

Enjoyed the narrator although some voices were threatening to delve into "Don't Do That'" zone however overall, a job well done. I don't agree with a previous rating based upon the 'Megan AKA Meg) character. That may just be me chilling out and enjoying the ride as someone else reads to me. To me, she was believable and a tough cookie ... Recommended by this reader.

The author really mustn't think too much of women!

Meg is suppose to be able to think and handle herself in a fight but when a situation arises she turns in to one of those "But Why" and "I Don't Understand" and "Oh Thats Not Fair" type of women.........oh please. Story just drags on on I got to the point I just didn't care any more and didn't finish it.
