#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor thrills with his new summer blockbuster starring Scot Harvath.

A devastating series of bombings tears through Bangkok. Scores of American citizens are dead. The attacks send shock waves around the world.

As global assistance pours into Thailand—including the FBI’s famed Evidence Response Team—the president of the United States quietly prepares a plan B: Scot Harvath, America’s top spy, trained to operate outside the law and probe the dark corners others can’t…or won’t.

But the bomber Harvath is pursuing isn’t a terrorist. He’s something far more dangerous—one of ours.

Meanwhile, in Washington, a former United States Marine is being hunted—and he has no idea why. Desperate for answers, he turns to the one person he still trusts—his ex-fiancée, a rising star in the White House. The problem is, she isn’t sure she can trust him.

As Harvath closes in on the bomber, a devastating truth begins to emerge. China has quietly deployed its most elite intelligence unit to Thailand. Their objective: to ignite chaos, trigger a military coup, and seize control of a narrow but critical piece of land, one that could give Beijing a decisive advantage.

If the plan succeeds, Beijing will secure a key gateway between two oceans, eroding American naval dominance and tipping the balance in any war between the world’s great powers.

China will control the ultimate geopolitical choke point.

Another banger by Brad Thor

Plot was very realistic, but performer needs to work on female voices. The villain is also well written. overall, the story was wonderful.

What can I say about this book that I haven't said in the past? One thing I CAN say is that I completely disregarded my never ending (and ever growing) TBR list and threw everything to the side to read this on the day it came out. THAT is not something that I can say about too many books or too many authors.

First of all, I have grown to love Scot Harvath. Full Stop. (I mean, we ARE at 25 books now)

Was this the best book in the series? No. It wasn't. But with that being said, I enjoyed it and finished it in one sitting. I also left feeling content knowing that this was my one Scot Harvath book of the year and was happy that I read it.

This book is a bit odd in that we really don't have anyone from Scot's world working on this case with him (Secondary characters that work with him). We do get a few telephone interactions with Nicholas when he needs some important information relating to the case he is working on.

I listened to this on audio and as usual, the narration was performed by Armand Schultz, who has basically become the voice of the series. Why am I mentioning that? Well, because one of my favorite voice portrayals that he does (at least for me) is of Nicholas. I don't know what it is about that particular portrayal, but I love it and can always immediately recognize his character.

This book gets a little complicated setting up the back story of the history of Thailand, Cambodia, China and Taiwan but it is neccessary for the reader to understand the political implications of what the bad guys are attempting to accomplish.

The story actually breaks off into two seperate storylines - Scot's storyline in Bangkok chasing a villainous bomb maker and then there is another character in the United States that is somehow also tied into everything. They stay seperate storylines until the end when everything gets pulled together.

As usual, this book is filled with non-stop action as things begin with some major bomb attacks in Bangkok and then continue as Scot is brought in to help with the local authorities. He is able to find and follow certain clues and ends up teaming up with one of the local Americans who is stationed out of the Bangkok office.

Again, while not the best book of the series, it still kept my interest and had me invested right up until the very end. After 25 books, I'd consider that a win :)

Scot Harvath is back!

I have been riding the Brad Thor/ Scot Harvath Train since it pulled out of the station 25 books ago. I always preorder and finish like three days after it arrives. Thor has taken the mantle of Tom Clancy when it comes to the techno-geopolitical thriller. On the cutting edge. Spot on with believable scenarios. 25 books 25 stories and not a bad one in the bunch

Thor does it again!!
