Publisher's summary

“Raw emotion, nonstop action, and relentless pacing makes Backlash another one-night read from Brad Thor, who delivers the book to beat in 2019.” (The Real Book Spy)

Number one New York Times, number one Wall Street Journal, and number one Publishers Weekly best-selling author Brad Thor is back with his most gripping thriller yet!

In ancient texts, there are stories about men who struck from the shadows, seemingly beyond the reach of death itself. These men were considered part angel, part demon. Their loyalty was to their families, their friends, and their kings. You crossed these men at your peril. And once crossed, there was no crossing back.

They were fearless; men of honor who have been known throughout history by different names: Spartan, Viking, Samurai.

Today, men like these still strike from the shadows. They are highly prized intelligence agents, military operatives, and assassins.

One man is all three.

Two days ago, that man was crossed - badly.

Now, far from home and surrounded by his enemy, Scot Harvath must battle his way out.

With no support, no cavalry coming, and no one even aware of where he is, it will take everything he has ever learned to survive.

But survival isn’t enough. Harvath wants revenge.

In the most explosive novel Brad Thor has ever written, minute after captivating minute of action, intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal will keep you hooked until the very last sentence.

As always a good read or in this case listen

Would like to see Havrtha explore the domestic conflict brewing at home.
The balance between liberty and its risk and tyranny and its dangers.
That and the dangers creeping upon us from non state players and the plans they might have for America and surprisingly many of America’s current enemies.

Best Thor Book Ever

The suspense and emotional roller coaster make this book exceptional. I am very impressed with how Mr. Thor is aging his characters appropriately but still taking the story to another level. It will be along wait to hear what's next!

loved the story and the characters but somehiw the end, while full of the anticipated revenge, left me feeling not quite satisfied

This is a five star book with too much swearing

Less or no f-words is my preference. I know that this author is going to give me a great story without a socialist agenda.
