Scot Harvath #4. Nasty Washington politics. Harvath saves the smokin' scientist and does battle to prevent biochemical weapon from killing millions in U.S. and to prevent a new caliph from unifying Islam world. (

The plot for this book was pretty extensive and mind-boggling. Thor delivers again in an epic thriller that takes Scot Harvath across the globe and "back in time" to learn of a biological threat to harm Americans. Brad Thor writes some of the most complex plots I've seen of any writer thus far. Two thoughts. Scot Harvath didn't show up that much until chapter 12. Second, overall it was a great book but lacked sufficient emotional impact to warrant a 5 stars. Having said that, I'm an avid fan of Brad Thor and Scot Harvath. (

I freely chose to review this book as I am a huge fan of Brad Tor. Blowback is book four where a ruthless senator has her eye on the presidency. Scot Harvath is fired and he goes off the grid and licks his wounds, but as the war on terror takes a chilling turn the President has no choice but to secretly bring Scot back in. An ancient weapon is hidden in an Alpine glacier that was built to defeat the Roman Empire has been found and a corrupt organization plans to use it on the USA! (

Basic reasonably predictable story. Stay with books rated four or five if you have a limited amount of time to read. (
