    Harvath tracks mysterious terrorists threatening war in the Middle East
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019*

Thor’s Harvath books are good B+ thrillers. They have cliched elements but are decent special-op procedurals.After rescuing the president In the first book, Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath is now on special assignment tracking down the terrorists responsible. It’s personal: he lost friends in the attack.Meanwhile, horrific attacks on Muslim holy sites raise Middle East tensions to the breaking point. The group taking credit claims to be fanatically pro-Israel, but no one knows who they are. Israel denies all knowledge but its neighbors mobilize to invade.Harvath suspects a link between the presidential attack and these, and thinks a Mossad contact knows more than he’s saying. Washington has meanwhile begun tracking a new group believed led by a leading terrorist’s son.Harvath is summoned to help when an airliner with various dignitaries gets hijacked in Cairo. Meg Cassidy, a female passenger, leads a Flight 93-style revolt against the hijackers even as Harvath and a CIA group begin their own assault.Meg now becomes a target. Harvath feels compelled to protect her even as the CIA uses her to lure escaped terrorists out into the open. The threads draw together as Harvath and Meg, the only person to see the hijack leader’s face, go on a daring mission to take the terror cell down.Harvath is at odds with CIA special ops leader Rick Morrell, whom he thinks cavalier about risking civilian lives. Thor creates this tension not only to create an in-house nemesis for Harvath but also to set the table for him sticking close to (the of course beautiful) Meg to protect her, not only from jihadis, but from Morrell’s overzealous crew.Some elements don’t hang together well, particularly when the realistic technothriller morphs into a more melodramatic pageturner. War looms but the story doesn’t feel like it. Harvath and crew know the clock is ticking, but life goes on as normal in most places. Israel’s neighbors hold off invading. Israel seems unusually passive. I didn’t find Meg’s crash-training for a secret mission convincing, although Thor lines up the story elements requiring it.Warning: spoiler alert. Don’t read further if you haven’t read the story.The Mossad contact, who has his own it’s-personal motives, goes to an awful lot of trouble to screen Harvath from what he’s really up to. In the real world, they’d share everything they had.Yes, I know Thor wants to leave dangling the possibility that the contact, with a past doing Mossad hits on Palestinian terrorists after the Munich Olympic attack, is himself behind these attacks, but readers may sense as I did that this is a red herring.It would neither make sense for Israel to goad its neighbors to war this way, nor a fanatical ultra-patriot acting on his own. After fighting four major wars Israel no longer faces large conventional armies bristling on its borders. Why provoke them? Neither does Israel have any history of mass attacks on civilians and holy sites. It’s not part of the national ethos.Also, not to give too much away, but as we learn who the terrorist leader is, the story goes a little bwa-ha-ha, right down to the extravagantly appointed billionaire’s-lair secret hideaway in the desert. Thor works hard to provide a plausible back story, but taken as a whole, the story moves from reality into fantasy as it turns out to be more about personal grudges. It features fantastically capable terrorists able to vanish and materialize at will, never missing a trick, never losing a fight, doing it all with little or no help, and with the story neatly tied up with a bow at the end. I like my drinks neat but not my technothrillers. Reality is messier.

    Unbelievable and Believable!
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020*

Brad Thor’s 2nd Scot Harvath novel is a great read. I recommend this book to any soul who loves a good thriller but who also enjoys a look behind the scenes into the many possible events that could take place around the world. We live a comfortable lifestyle in the United States, compared the life styles lived many in other countries, but there are reasons for it. The work done by those who have committed their lives to protecting the freedom of everyone around the world can, and often is, be easily overlooked by those of us fortunate enough to live our lives as free as we do. Brad’s books and the stories they tell are probably not as far from the truth as we might think. His books also remind us that if we stop trying to understand the motives of all factions around the world, we are mostly like turning a blind eye to the many atrocities that could be become very real.This book is fast paced and extremely hard to put down. Can’t wait for the 3rd book in the series. Well done Brad Thor. Keep that ball rolling!

    aided by a beautiful and tough Chicago public relations company owner
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015*

PATH of the ASSASSIN (Scot Harvath, book 2) by Brad Thor. This action packed international thriller staring Scot Harvath in his second appearance as Thor’s James Bond type action character is a very worthwhile read. Harvath, as director of Secret Service Special Operations is sent on a mission by the president to solve the mystery of the extreme terrorist group, The Hand of God. The Arab countries and Israel are coming closer by the day to an all out war. The president is determined to find the cause and avert a conflict. Harvath, aided by a beautiful and tough Chicago public relations company owner, Meg Cassidy, who seems to be the only person who can personally identify the silver-eyed assassin, pursue their killer through the Far East, Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. The pursuit takes the form of car chases, gunfights, prison escapes and of course, ubiquitous explosions. My only complaint is that Thor could have done much more with the Meg Cassidy character. He let her fall flat then reintroduced her for a bit role only to drop her again. I hope he uses her up in follow-on novels. [As an aside, Thor’s editor needs to learn when and how to use further and farther]. I very much enjoyed the story and recommend the novel. I give it a solid 4+ rating.
