Publisher's summary

In a world shrouded in shadows, where doubt is the only weapon, can one spy expose the truth? #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor delivers his latest high-octane thriller.

A mysterious cargo plane, flanked by a squadron of Russia’s most lethal fighters, has just taken off from a remote airbase. Closely monitored by the United States, no one inside the Pentagon has any idea where it’s going or what it’s carrying.

A high-level Russian defector, a walking vault of secrets that could shatter the West, seeks asylum in Norway. Across the continent, in the heart of Paris, a lone French agent stumbles upon a conspiracy so explosive it could ignite a global firestorm.

As alarm bells ring in Washington, the CIA’s most lethal weapon, Scot Harvath, is forced to choose between his conscience and his country.

You’ll be left breathless as Harvath is swept into a whirlwind of double agents, international intrigue, and heart-stopping chases.

Meandering plot and boring whodunit

This story has Scot shooting bad guys to help his girlfriend with a security problem. There's also a B-plot murder mystery in Paris which takes up about a third of the storytelling time. There's no relation between the two until the end when there's an "Oh, it was that guy..." moment that feels forced.

Scot's trajectory is haphazard as well. Typically, the Big Objective is laid out in the first act and the team slowly works to get to it. This time it's one thing, and then another slightly related, and then a detour... It feels like several stories stitched together instead of the usual SH novel.

I liked that the stakes are lower than previous stories and nothing truly outlandish or deus-ex-machina happens.

The inclusion of the Paris sub-plot takes up so much time that the other main characters (Nicholas, the familiar Carlton Group admins...) barely make appearances and don't really get their moments in the spotlight.

The narration is as good as always. Strong, different voices for the characters, although his female voices could be more distinct--they all seem to be variations of the Nicholas voice.

Good “Next in Series”

Another great addition to the series! Wish it had a little more action, but still a good read.

One of the best Harvath books so far

A true page turner with great venues, intrigue, and players at the highest levels. Started well and was a great ride with a great ending

Really good but not GREAT

Enjoyed the story but had more “slow” parts than previous books. Seems like this may be the last one in the series which might be for the best as Harvath is getting old and I’m getting tired of the constant mental discussions about the “rest of his life”.

What or who lurks in the Shadows

I enjoyed listening to book visualizing the places and the picturing the characters and what they might look like and knowing that they could be be very real in the espionage and terrorist world to ensure our safety even at the cost of their lives so I thank them for their service

Great book

I enjoyed that he finally got closure for his wife’s death, and that he was able to find happiness in the end. It’s safe to assume this maybe the last book of this series. I have throughly enjoyed all these books.

Brad just can’t write a bad book

Another great addition to the Harvath story. I feel like there was a little depth missing from some previous titles, but overall still a great addition.

Not enough Pappy Van Winkle..lol

Great Harvarh book as usual. The French brought down the bourbon consumption, but the addition of the frog cops made it more enjoyable. Just a little too easy at the end. That was Scott’s job just east of the cabin at the end of the book…
