About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Scot Harvath series and “heir to Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum” (Chicago Tribune) returns with this unputdownable, white-knuckled thriller following the Secret Service agent as he’s on the trail of the world’s most ruthless terrorist.

After rescuing the President from kidnappers in Thor’s roaring debut, The Lions of Lucerne, Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man—the world’s most dangerous terrorist.

Only one problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they are forced to recruit a civilian—a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry. From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before the world is engulfed in flames.

Ratings and reviews

I have enjoyed reading each of these books and the fast paced action. However... How many times can the greatest agent of his kind, who's skill and intuition allow him to get the drop on the bad guy, fall for the "surprise" head butt that allows his prisoner to escape almost everytime?

Stories that pick on a particular region or religion because of hot news items aren't my thing. Tell me a story. No need to bash a culture.

I've read all of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath novels, and loved each one of them. 5 stars to them all, but ESPECIALLY Path Of The Assassin! Scot Harvath #2 is definitely my favorite.
