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:

Am an avid reader-Fiction/Non fiction,historical etc. Very current with post 911 events. Read his books in no special order yet ALL were very enjoyable, Scot Harvath is our American Bond. Love the technical aspects in these books, author has gone to great length to be accurate in description/name/caliber of weapons, locations etc. Waiting for the next novel. I pass all my books to friends/familly and others who enjoy reading (too much other type of entertainment now days LOL)

While Brad Thor's first book, the Lions of Lucrene was a fun intro into Scot Harvath's life (ex-Navy SEAL/Secret Service agent), the Path of the Assassin is a much more sophisticated and intense read.Scot Harvath is back to get the terrorists who killed members of a SEAL team that were killed in trying to get back the president from the first book. Midway through the book I came back onto Amazon to purchase the third book in the series and I cannot wait. In the process however, he essentially uncovers a plot to ignite a very real war in the Middle East.This book is superior to its predecessor in every way imaginable. From readability, to pacing, to seriousness, to gunplay, to complexity, to sheer excitement, this book is really a wonderful step forward for Brad Thor. From what I understand, Brad Thor's Scot Harvath series is similar to the TV show 24 in that it simply gets better as it goes.He's sure hoping.This book is highly recommended.

Typical Scot Harvath adventure. Entertaining and fast paced. An easy read for those who like fiction that moves and is predictable.

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

The book will keep you turning the pages, or in my case clicking the pages on my kindle, anticipating Scot's next move. This was another great thrill ride as was Brad's first book. I look forward to the next book, "State of the Union". Scot Harvath is a great hero and odvious patriot. The X-Seal, Harvath seems to always make the correct decision under extreme circumstances. 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.
