Path of the Assassin

Additional Path of the Assassin Information

Brad Thor's national best-selling debut, The Lions of Lucerne, was hailed as "high-voltage entertainment reminiscent of Robert Ludlum" (Literary Journal). Now, he again delivers a non-stop action as one man's quest for revenge thrusts him into a battle to save his country....

After rescuing the President from kidnappers, Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath shifts his attentions to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man -- the world's most feared, most ruthless terrorist, Hashim Nidal. Having assembled an international league of Islamic terrorist networks in an ingenious plot to topple both Israel and America, Harvath and his CIA-led team must reach Nidal before it's too late. One problem remains -- they have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, Harvath is forced to recruit a civilian -- a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry.

From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception -- before a madman's twisted vision engulfs the world in the fires of all-out war....

What Customers Say About Path of the Assassin:

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

The book will keep you turning the pages, or in my case clicking the pages on my kindle, anticipating Scot's next move. I strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews. This was another great thrill ride as was Brad's first book. I look forward to the next book, "State of the Union". Thor is an excellent author and should be given the proper accolades for his superior writing skills. Scot Harvath is a great hero and odvious patriot. The X-Seal, Harvath seems to always make the correct decision under extreme circumstances.

The main difference, of course, is that Vince Flynn can actually write believeable, semi-mature dialogue. However, the story was pretty good and that is the ONLY thing that kept me going. Come on. Scot Harvath is a very annoying and juvenile version of Flynn's Mitch Rapp character.

The writing is absolutely terrible. If you want a thriller of this genre then get a Vince Flynn novel. 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 dialogue is fit for a children's novel.

So much so that even his love interest is a physically violated, daughter of an ex-cop, beautiful woman from Chicago. Only pick one of Thor's books if you are REALLY bored and have LOTS of discretionary time. I found myself almost ashamed to be reading something so juvenile. My biggest disapointment is that his characters are a complete copy of the Vince Flynn characters.

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. And as far as the cold-hearted assassin is concerned, the identity is surprising. As fantastic as the action in this book was, I found it to be plausible, if not realistic. 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.

I look forward to reading the rest of Mr. The book was well-written and the dry sense of humor from the author that surfaces from time to time is also refreshing. Harvath's adventures. I like the political/military thriller genre and this book did not disappoint. It was a quick read, but also required some thinking.
