Just Awful!   2010-09-01
By Andrea M. Peck (Santa Fe, NM United States)
I like a good action, mystery, political novel, but this one had me skipping through most of the last half. That a young Secret Service agent could bring down a presidency in the manner as written is absurd. That the experienced agents would respond to her as written is laughable. Major waste of reading time.
Another outstanding book from Brad Thor   2010-08-28
By Eric Hobart (La Center, WA United States)
On the cover of this book, there is a quote - is reads "The master of thrillers.", and is attributed to [...] - in my humble opinion, this is most certainly an accurate description of the way Brad Thor writes and his fantastic stories. Continuing the story of his hero Scot Harvath in this tale, we see Harvath risk everything to do the right thing. This time, it isn't just about protecting national interests; instead, its about finding a way to free a woman, whose mother has political connections with the President, from her abductors in Afghanistan. The book is very believable - especially in this day and age, and the way Thor writes, the reader can become so immersed that it feels as if you were right there. In some scenes, you can almost feel your heart thumping right along with Harvath as he's trying to evade the Taliban or find some way to protect his compatriots. I must say that I enjoyed the book tremendously, and I'm looking forward to picking up another book in this series soon. I would highly recommend this to any reader interested in thrillers.
Understanding Afganistan   2010-08-07
By Kay Scholz
This fast-paced, well writen and knowledgeable book gives you a real insight into the culture of Afganistan. It opened my eyes to the ordeals our military personnel go thru daily in this long lasting, unending war.
Pointless, poorly written, and boring   2010-07-30
By Traveler
Why does anybody read books from this guy? This book is the equivalent of "see Spot run" for adults. No suspense, an entirely predictable plot, characters you don't care about, no surprises/plot twists, and written at about a 6th grade reading level. Other suspense/thriller writers create interesting characters and challenge/educate you - at least a little bit. This book showed minimal evidence of some research and insight into military operations (actually mostly just weapons) and the scene on the ground in Afghanistan, but that was not enough to carry the book. I bought it on a whim in an airport before a long flight - which is sometimes a pleasant surprise. This time it wasn't.
formual writing   2010-07-14
By David J. Williams
This was my first Brad Thor book and I was disappointed. It reminds me of a formual an author uses to produce easy unthinking products.
