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)

I absolutely enjoyed this book from start to finish. The characters were very believable and I was able to immerse myself in the story line. The voice over is so far one of the best!

This is my first listen of Brad Thor's Scott Harvath series. It did not disappoint. As Harvath is attempting to save the life of his daughter, the President is kidnapped and his entire secret service team killed in the process. What follows is Harvath's tenacious search for the kidnappers as he copes with his own sense of failure for not protecting the President. This is a well paced work of fiction excellently read by Armand Schultz. I am hooked and adding the series to my list of titles to enjoy.

Second book in this series, enjoyed it, you can feel the character developing. Since this is a multi book series, later books should be even better

Action packed Good Guy vs Bad Guy

I guess I have been living under a rock, because I feel like I should have discovered Brad Thor a long time ago. At least I am now making up for lost time via the audio book versions of his novels. Armand Schultz’s performances have been so great that I think I’ll stick to the audiobook format of Thor’s extremely entertaining and captivating writing style.

I very highly recommend Path of the Assassin, but I also recommend reading/listening to The Lions of Lucerne first. Thor does a great job summarizing events from Lions, but the events that take place in this novel spawn from the storyline of Lions. Oh, and did I mention I highly recommend this book?

Great Sequel to Lions of Lucerne
