Description

The #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor delivers his most frightening and pulse-pounding thriller ever!

After a CIA agent mysteriously dies overseas, his top asset surfaces with a startling and terrifying claim. There’s just one problem—no one knows if she can be trusted.

But when six exchange students go missing, two airplane passengers trade places, and one political-asylum seeker is arrested, a deadly chain of events is set in motion.

With the United States facing an imminent and devastating attack, America’s new president must turn to covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath to help carry out two of the most dangerous operations in the country’s history.

Code-named “Gold Dust” and “Blackbird,” they are shrouded in absolute secrecy as either of them, if discovered, will constitute an act of war.

    China is on the verge of collapsing. They are unable to grow enough food to feed their people. North Korea is aiding them by allowing their personnel to train there. Six young princelings who are the children of highly powerful and influential Chinese are sent to America as engineers at NASA. When their training is over they disappear into numerous safe houses. Chinia is planning to attack America by a huge EMP strike. A very well written fast paced read with Scott Harvath at the helm supported by a very elite team of operators. Enjoyed immensely!! My highest recommendation!!

    Interesting and Scary story all at the same time. It’s a LOT in this book. We have way too many characters to keep up with. Per usual, we have two stories running side by side. This book they do not tie up together. Also, per Thor, we wrap the book up quick in the last 20 pages.

    As always Thor wrote another thriller and it didn’t disappoint. The topics he picks unbeknownst to the American population are real life scenarios that play out behind the scenes in our government and political system. Harvarth and crew bring us close to suspense in this page turning can’t put down book.

  • Great action read

    Felt like this one had no direction honestly. It ended uniquely and in a way I wasn’t expecting, but the secondary storyline didn’t match up AT ALL with the primary story. Really disappointed with that. Wouldn’t really recommend reading this one just because it doesn’t have much depth to it as past thrillers have had. I felt bored reading this one and actually set it aside for a few weeks just because it didn’t get going until around chapter 45 or so. Not Thor’s best work and I could tell a deadline had to be met here being that the book ended in 3 chapters. Sorry Thor, not my favorite.

    EXCELLENT READ! Be sure you have the time before you start because it’s hard to put down! You can’t wait for the end of a chapter for a break in the action to rejoin the world because there are so many story lines, each just as fast-paced, that you have to keep reading!

  • Great!
