Blowback: A Thriller
Date undefinedIf you like the TV series "24', then you will like this book. I made the mistake of reading this story right after I read "Act Of Treason". Scot Harvath is a lot like Mitch Rapp in the way they deal with terrorists, so I was mixing them up some. What makes this story one star over the other is the plot and the way the story line develops; it seemed so possible to me. It also surprised me how old the use of germ and chemical warfare is.

Date undefinedFirst book I have read by this author. I liked it and will try other books by him.
Blowback: A Thriller
Date undefinedBlowback is the 4th book in Brad Thor's thriller series featuring Scott Harvath. This is a fun book to read with the fast pacing for which the author has come to be known. Blowback features numerous exotic locations; from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, counter-intelligence specialist Harvath must race against the clock to try to once again save America. Adding intrigue to the story are the historical elements involving the Ottoman Empire and Hannibals trek across the Alps.
The book features an ambitions female senator who desires to take down President Rutledge - a recurring character - by using an international incident from the Middle East involving Harvath.
There is no doubt that the imagination must be stretched a bit sometimes when reading one or all of the novels in this series. That is why it is called fiction; however. I recommend suspending any disbelief and enjoying the fast paced ride and good storyline that Blowback delivers. Enjoy this 4-star read!
