Gripping from beginning to end

|
Brad Thor is a name to be reckoned with in the genre of political thrillers and this book lives up to expectations. Secret Service Agent Scott Harvarth finds himself in more than enough trouble when the President of the United States is kidnapped, and from there the plot moves along thick and fast. I found myself reading long after I should have put the book down and finished it in record time. I would recommend anyone to buy this, or any other Brad Thor book as you will not be disappointed.

Suffocating Tension Brilliant Read
|
Ok whilst Matthew Reilly has the edge on excitement this guy hits you square on with the tension from chapter one. This is Thor's greatest novel and his first novel. The hero is cross between James Bond, Indianna Jones and John McLane. With an early chapter starting with the kidnapping of the presidents daughter with amazing ski-sets and shoot outs that wipe out near enough every special force commando but one this book really makes you chilly, the scenes running upto the end are so breathtaking that you feel that any minute you are going to fall off a mountain yourself. This is just amazing writing and anyone who loved the movie of the Eiger Sanction on the edge of the mountain should snap this up. Jack Ryan EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
If you liked this then get Takedown too.

Nothing original but still a well written page turner
|
Lone survivor of Secret Service team hunts down the kidnappers who have got away with the US President while he himself is framed and hunted....
Quite like a Ludlum book this, and I did keep thinking that there were many elements of the story that I have read elsewhere, but having said that..
This is a very well told action thriller and while it is not overly original in concept, it is delivered very well, has a good pace to it and it is action packed.
Brad Thor will be a name to watch out for I suspect.
