A master assassin. A vendetta years in the
making. And a counterterrorism operative who will risk
everything -- even treason -- to keep the people he loves
alive.
Brad Thor, the New York Times
bestselling author of Takedown, delivers an explosive
international thriller featuring Navy SEAL turned Homeland
Security operative Scot Harvath, who somewhere, somehow, has
left the wrong person alive.
"Thou shalt not negotiate
with terrorists..."
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 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 is 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.
Brad Thor
roars through this nonstop adventure full of international
intrigue, twisted betrayals, and ultimate revenge.
