 Useless December 20, 2008

Useless, I bought it by mistake. It is not my style listening to a silly "actor" I prefer a book.
Best regards,

 Another great book by Brad Thor December 3, 2008
This was another great thrill ride as was Brad's first book. Scot Harvath is a great hero and odvious patriot. The X-Seal, Harvath seems to always make the correct decision under extreme circumstances. The book will keep you turning the pages, or in my case clicking the pages on my kindle, anticipating Scot's next move. I look forward to the next book, "State of the Union". I strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews. Thor is an excellent author and should be given the proper accolades for his superior writing skills.
 Lame writing, totally ripping off Vince Flynn October 21, 2008
The writing is absolutely terrible. The dialogue is fit for a children's novel. I found myself almost ashamed to be reading something so juvenile. However, the story was pretty good and that is the ONLY thing that kept me going. My biggest disapointment is that his characters are a complete copy of the Vince Flynn characters. Scot Harvath is a very annoying and juvenile version of Flynn's Mitch Rapp character. So much so that even his love interest is a physically violated, daughter of an ex-cop, beautiful woman from Chicago. Come on! This is a total rip off on Ana Riley in the Flynn novels.
Even the character's professional progression follows the Flynn story line. The main difference, of course, is that Vince Flynn can actually write believeable, semi-mature dialogue. If you want a thriller of this genre then get a Vince Flynn novel. Only pick one of Thor's books if you are REALLY bored and have LOTS of discretionary time.
A Superb Second Effort September 3, 2008
The second book in the Scot Harvath series was no letdown after "The Lions of Lucerne". With imaginative plot twists, exotic locations, and a new unlikely heroine, this second effort by Brad Thor is every bit as engaging as his first was. And as far as the cold-hearted assassin is concerned, the identity is surprising. Against the backdrop of current events, Brad Thor recognizes that politically incorrect fact, that we are at war with elements of a group of religious extremists; radical Islam. As fantastic as the action in this book was, I found it to be plausible, if not realistic.
 Excellent book August 18, 2008
I like the political/military thriller genre and this book did not disappoint. It was a quick read, but also required some thinking. The book was well-written and the dry sense of humor from the author that surfaces from time to time is also refreshing. I look forward to reading the rest of Mr. Harvath's adventures.
