Description |
| Master of suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor returns together with his much riveting international thriller yet. A new administration and a new approach to dealing together with America's enemies have left covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath not including a job. But when American doctor Julia Gallo is kidnapped in Afghanistan, the terms of her ransom go away the president together with only one course of action. In a dangerous assignment this the United States government will deny any knowledge of, Scot Harvath must secretly infiltrate Kabul's notorious Policharki Prison and free the man the kidnappers demand as ransom - al-Qaeda mastermind, Mustafa Khan. But when Harvath arrives, he shortly learns this there is extra to the kidnapping than anyone dares to admit. And as the subterfuge is laid bare, Harvath must examine his own career of hunting down and killing terrorists, and ask himself if he has what it takes to help one of the world's worst go free. Brimming together with the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity Brad Thor's internationally bestselling novels are known for, The Apostle doubles down on the blockbuster success of The Last Patriot and reaffirms Thor's status as the master of the political thriller. Unabridged Compact Disk Consists of a Bonus MP3 CD of Brad Thor's The Lions Of Lucerne |

 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. |
