Publisher's summary

When a mysterious new weapon tips the balance against American and allied forces throughout the Middle East, the only person the president can call for help is the man the administration has just fired: Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative, Scot Harvath.

Caught live on Al Jazeera in an off-the-books operation, Harvath is forced to go to ground, as a senator with presidential aspirations turns her sights on the White House and forces President Jack Rutledge to publicly end the career of America's number-one counter-terrorism operative.

But when the tide in the war against terror suddenly turns against the West, the president has no choice but to bring Harvath back inside. Ducking a congressional subpoena, Harvath travels to Cyprus where he learns about a weapon called The Sword of Allah, which terrorists intend to use to rid all Muslim lands of Western infidels. As the layers of truth unfold, Harvath is witness to realities more menacing than he ever could have imagined and must rely solely on his instincts to confront a new evil closing in on the United States.

With his characteristic precision in describing military technology, high-voltage action, and sweeping international sensibility, Brad Thor has created another supercharged novel that is sure to thrill.

I’m biased

I’m a big fan of all of the Brad Thor Scott Harvath novels. This one had more of an Indiana Jones bent and was more fantastical as a result, but still an interesting mystery and narrative.

Outstanding Story - Difficult to not go from chapter to chapter

The author crafted his best work yet. Believable storyline with one the very best narrators in the business. I just wish I was thirty years younger, take what I know now, and could conjure up such informative, well researched books as “Blowback.”

In my opinion, Brad Thor is on par with authors Clancy, Coes, Flynn and Mills.

Great novel I like original narrator

I thoroughly enjoy the series, but I do believe the original narrator did a better job

Done because of George’s voice

I enjoy the story line, but I’m done. George Guidall’s voice is not easy to listen to.

Another Excellent Book!

Scot Harvath books have long been some of my favorite to read/listen too, and this is no exception. Brad Thor has done it again with Blowback. Can't wait for the next one to be released!

could have been better

the reader is a great narrator, but lousy at doing male character voices. they all sound like old men with a smoking problem. even the main character, who is 35, sounds 65.

Great book! keeping me hooked on the series!

loved the book, loving the series. I have to say, and no offense to the narrator as he is obviously very skilled and talented, but his voice ageds Scott by 30 years. It's like trying to watch Tom Cruise play Jack Reacher, an extremely talented actor, but just not right for the character. whatever, I'm buying the next book now.
