FOREIGN AGENT-A REVIEW(THE 15TH SCOT HARVATH BOOK BY BRAD THOR)
Brad Thor has surpassed all his previous masterpieces with this brilliant, informative, exotic, deadly tale. It’s main villains in focus are terrorists and Russians. Here Russians have good intentions but they are selfish and affect the Americans in a bad way which calls for an extreme action in the form of Harvath. After starring 14 books and featuring in another, he returns trying to accommodate to the after affects of 2015’s Code of Conduct which has changed him and Lara. Though Harvath still works for the Carlton Group, he’s planning to move to Boston to be with Lara which may affect his work. The private intelligence group he works for is once again contracted to save the day and avenge a few tragedies. Being an ex SEAL and an ex President’s watchdog, he still sees himself as a sheepdog-protecting the sheep from the wolves. Unfortunately, in this book he is so busy traveling around the world, that he forgets to go to his amazing home-Bishop’s Gate. But on an overall look, it has a happy and a perfect ending which is too patriotic.
Harvath starts off fighting terror in Europe, courtesy of the CIA but when a CIA team trying to abduct a major target is destroyed, Harvath is called to look into it. After all, it was intel from his source which had started the failed mission in the first place. Finding his source dead, Harvath chases clues.
But on the other side, a Russian GRU agent-Baseyev, has been implanted deep inside the heart of modern evil. He’s a product of a serious tragedy and lives for only one purpose-to kill, and he doesn’t care what damage he causes to the good people along the way.
Harvath meets old friends along the way through Vienna, Brussels, Germany, Malta and finally organizes a brilliant operation to resolve the situation in Syria where he makes and helps out new friends. The tactical brains of Harvath is brilliantly shown and makes the ending the most entertaining climax in a long time. Harvath has pushed himself beyond the edge to face the most dangerous evil he has ever faced in his career. This is the best book to read if you want a very patriotic, Pro-American, brilliantly executed thriller in this year. I give it 4/5 stars.
