Product Description
July 4th weekend, New York City:As thousands of holiday travelers make their way out of Manhattan, a flawlessly executed terrorist attack plunges the city into a maelstrom of panic and death. Amidst the chaos, an elite team of foreign soldiers is systematically searching for one of their own, a man so powerful that the U.S. government refuses to admit he even exists and will do anything to keep him hidden. Now, with the world's deadliest enemy upon America's doorstep, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must fight his way through the burning city streets to take down an invisible terrorist mastermind with the means to unleash hell on a global scale.

 Takedown is a letdown October 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This has been one of the most disappointing adventures in reading that I can remember. Normally I would not bother to write a review, but this book was such a downer that a comment was needed. Why the author felt that any American would want to see our guys be out smarted, maneuvered and gunned by Muslim terrorists is beyond me. To my dismay I actually read to the end in hopes that some uplifting thing might happen. Only to have it jerked away on the last page.

If you liked "The Lions", you will love this book. Typical 'Thor', fast paced, keeps your interest. I can't wait for the next book from Brad thor.
 A Thriller From Start To Finish September 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Takedown is a thriller from start to finish. It will keep readers on the edge of their seats for the whole ride.
It features counterterrorist operative Scot Harvath who is a master at hunting down the bad guys and stopping more destruction. This novel was set around a horrific attack on New York City. The action ranged from Morocco to D.C.
Fans of Thor will find this book to be much like his others: a page turner with non-stop action. There are also some characters that appear in some of his other work including 'The Troll'.
If you have not read Thor before, do yourself a favor and read this one and several of his others. If you are already a Thor fan, you will experience another one of his great stories.
 enjoyable, but don't think too much August 12, 2008

The book was enjoyable for a summer read. Of course it's a one man army against the evil terrorists and everyone else is just backdrop. The worst thing about it was the killing of the girlfriend at the end, just plain stupid. I'm going to get back at you for trying to kill me by hunting you down across the ocean just to kill a woman you've known what, a week??? And leave you totally uninjurred?? Yeah that hurts!! So as long as you don't take it too seriously and don't think too much you can read it and enjoy it.

great summer read, thriller, fast paced and love the central character scot harvath. am a robert ludlam fan and thor's books are similar in the intrigue, mystery, action. right now reading a fourth book of his. can't beat it for reading on the deck and we all know there is nothing on tv.
