A Thriller
by Brad Thor
Six months ago: In the dead of the night, five of the most dangerous detainees
in the war on terror are pulled from their isolation cells in Guantanamo Bay,
held at gunpoint, and told to strip off their orange jumpsuits. Issued a
civilian clothes and driven to the base airfield, they are loaded aboard a
Boeing 727 and set free.
Present day: Covert counterterrorism agent Scot Harvath awakens to discover
that his world has changed violently - and forever. A sadistic assassin with a
personal vendetta in wreaking havoc of biblical proportions. Unleashing
nightmarish horrors on those closest to Harvath, the attacker thrusts everything
Harvath holds dear - including his life - into absolute peril.
Ordered by the president to stay out of the investigation, Harvath is forced to
mount his own operation to uncover the conspiracy and to exact revenge. When he
discovers a connection between the attacks and a group of prisoners secretly
released from Guantanamo, Harvath must ask himself previously unthinkable
questions about the organizations and the nation he has spent his life serving.
A renegade from his own government, Harvath will place his life on the line as
his search for the truth draws him into a showdown with one of the most
dangerous men on the face of the earth.
"It's a long, violent, shoot-'em-up, blow-'em-up pulse-pounder that will leave Thor's fans cheering and begging for more." - PW.
