They built off each other but the fast pace of Harvath stayed consistent. (  ) mcal | Nov 28, 2009 |  Thor still has some rough spots to iron out, but Scot Harvath is a fun character. (  ) MSWallack | Jan 27, 2008 | This book is a continuation from Thor's first novel, as Scot Harvath continues on his travails from the Lions of Lucerne (saying more would give away spoilers). You may have a tough time if you haven't read Lions as Thor jumps right into the action with little review. Which is perfectly fine and welcome if you are reading them in order. Found this book just as entertaining as his first edition, albeit with a few obnoxious threads. The constant thread of Harvath's hate for the head of the CIA Contract Squad and their petty fighting the entire book is played out continually from cover to cover - it causes some humorous moments along the way, but it's extreme overkill and for me detracted from the overall story in the end. Thor's location setting again is top notch as this thriller takes you from Capri to Libya to North Carolina and back to DC. (  ) jmcclain19 | Jul 26, 2007 | The Path of the Assassin: A Thriller, by Brad Thor, starts with Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath's pursuit of the terrorists behind the kidnapping of the President (as described in Thor's previous book, The Lions of Lucerne). Harvath, the former Navy SEAL, is under direct presidential orders to tie up any loose ends with regard to the kidnapping. Harvath soon discovers that Hashim Nidal and his mysterious lieutenent are behind a plot to bring down Israel and, eventually, the US. After Harvath and his team help free a hijacked plane from hijacking, he must work with Meg Cassidy - the only person alive known to have seen Nidal's face - to help bring down this dangerous terrorist network. I found this book to be better than Lions of Lucerne, Thor's first book. The plot is much tighter, with more action throughout the book. ( ) Talbin | Apr 1, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743436768, Mass Market Paperback)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....
