In a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-charged tour de force, Navy
SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath
must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to
stop militant Islam dead in its tracks.
June 632
A.D.: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in
Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest
companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he
is assassinated.
September 1789: U.S. Minister to
France Thomas Jefferson, who is charged with forging a truce
with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes
a shocking discovery - one that could forever impact the
world's relationship with Islam.
Present day: When
a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian café, Scot Harvath is
thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to
leave behind.
Saving the intended victim of the attack,
Harvath becomes party to an amazing and perilous race to
uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be
defeated once and for all without firing another shot,
dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action.
But as desperate as the American government is to have
the information brought to light, there are powerful forces
aligned against it - men who are just as determined that
Mohammed's mysterious final revelation continue to remain
hidden forever.
What Jason Bourne was to the Cold War,
Scot Harvath is to the War on Terror. Brad Thor has created
"the perfect all-American hero for the post September 11
world" (Nelson DeMille) and will keep readers glued to the
pages as he once again takes them across the globe on a
heart-pounding chase where the stakes are higher than they
have ever been before.
