FOREIGN AGENT

By Brad Thor

Get ready for another terrific book from author Brad Thor featuring Scot Harvath, former Navy Seal. Now working for a private intelligence company, Scot aids the CIA and, most of all, the President of the United States.

Along with Harvath is his lady, Lara. Things are going in the wrong direction for Scot and Lara; she’s on her way to Boston to start a new job and Scot is based in Washington D.C. They know that long distance romances are difficult and they have to decide whether to keep their present jobs and try to maintain a relationship, or scrap the whole thing.

But while dealing with this romantic entanglement there are more pressing issues that arise. For instance, the death of thirteen Americans occurs when a safe house in Iraq is raided and the Americans are brutally killed by ISIS forces. Washington wants answers now, and Harvath feels guilty as it was his informant that led the team to Iraq in the first place. Now that they’re gone, Scot tries to locate said informant and learns that the man is oddly missing.

As Scot continues to search for people who knew that the team was about to be demolished, he pursues a Russian by the name of Sacha Baseyev. Baseyev is holding on to a lot of hate from an event that took place in his childhood and will stop at nothing to take out as many folks as he can get away with. And the more Scot looks for Baseyev, the more innocent people die.

As this book moves forward at a gut-wrenching pace, much blood is spilled, but Harvath will stop at nothing to achieve justice. He’s determined to make things right and stop an attack that’s planned on the United States.

The author mentions many things that went on in some of his previous books and fits these new puzzle pieces in with absolute craftsmanship. As usual, Brad Thor proves he’s the ultimate thriller writer.
