America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees.

Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world - and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal and sinister enemy from the past.

Take another thrill ride with Scot Harvath.©2004 Brad Thor (P)2011 Simon & Schuster Audio Espionage Genre Fiction Military Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense War & Military Fiction Exciting Middle East Russia War

Coming into the book I was a bit skeptical of the transition from Armand to George, but having listened to other Guidall books I have learned to love him. The story itself is really good. Everything is well thought out and explained. Perhaps over explained but in a good way. I think Scott needs to get his love life in check eventually in one of these books, it seems like the author loves putting out temptations everywhere for this all american hero, it makes it interesting to see what he will do next.

The Story line is actually pretty impressive

What made the experience of listening to State of the Union the most enjoyable?

I have no idea who is who?

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Don't get me started! Scott H is now a French guy.....wth

Any additional comments?

This is the worst narrator swing I have experienced to date. brad Thor is done as far as I am concerned!!!

From the perfect narrator to the WORST!

Loved it. Great story. If you like cold war era inspired novels, this is great. Narration was bad. Narrator sped through tense moments every time. Once you get past the bad narration, you can really enjoy the excellent writing. Would recommend.

Loved the story but preferred the narrator from the first 2 books. Non stop action and suspense. Can't wait to start the next one.

Awesome book

The story was gripping. The details were awesome yet a few times over the top. But overall, effective. I had many times when listening been aggregated that the narrator was not the original from the first two books. This narrator, was a great deal older and while a overall good story teller, the fact that all of the characters' voices had changed, seemed to make me invision extremely old people as all of the main stars. It was a bit distracting and annoying at times but I debt with it to finish this book and move on. Overall I still thoroughly enjoy the Scott Harvath series and will definitely continue to listen and share with others. Thank you Brad Thor, and thank you George Guidall.

Good but.. Hmmm....

I think I like the other narrator on the Harvath books more but this was a great listen. Loved the cat and mouse with Harvath and the Russian operatives. You know he'll save the day but it was still tense up to the end if Scott can stop the plot from being unleashed. Love Brad Thor's writing. I do find it amusing that all the female operatives are gorgeous.

Awesome listen

George Guidall is the best narrator I have heard. He can take a mediocre novel and turn it in to a winner.

Good Read made better by the George Guidall
