About this ebook

From #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and #1 Publishers Weekly bestselling author, Brad Thor, comes Blowback.

Scot Harvath’s counterterrorism career has just crashed and burned—thanks in part to a ruthless senator with her sights set on the White House. But when the war on terror takes a chilling turn, the president has no choice but to secretly bring Harvath back inside. Deep beneath an Alpine glacier, an ancient weapon designed to decimate the Roman Empire has been unearthed—and a shadowy organization intends to use it for America’s downfall. Racing across Europe, Harvath must secure the ultimate instrument of destruction before it brings the United States and the rest of the world to their knees.

Ratings and reviews

Book would have been great if it was 100 pages shorter. Midway through the book I found myself skipping through the chapters that involved Scott and Jillian, those chapters were boring and repetitive with the 2 main characters just searching for information, and the action scenes made Scott seem like Batman with superhuman reflexes, The best part of the story are the chapters where the 2 main characters are not involved

Another great read, that I didn't want to put down. He's so descriptive, I feel like I'm watching a movie.

All of the Scott Harvath books have excellent intrigue and plot development , we should be seeing movies using his character.
