Book description
A master assassin. A vendetta years in the making. And a
counterterrorism operative who will risk everything -- even treason --
to keep the people he loves alive.
Brad Thor, the New York Times bestselling author of
Takedown, delivers an explosive international thriller
featuring Navy SEAL turned Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath,
who somewhere, somehow, has left the wrong person alive.
"Thou shalt not negotiate with terrorists..."
Six months ago: In the dead of the night, five of the most
dangerous detainees in the war on terror are pulled from their
isolation cells in Guantanamo Bay, held at gunpoint, and told to strip
off their orange jumpsuits. Issued civilian clothes and driven to the
base airfield, they are loaded aboard a Boeing 727 and set free.
Present day: Covert counterterrorism agent Scot Harvath
awakens to discover that his world has changed violently -- and
forever. A sadistic assassin with a personal vendetta is wreaking
havoc of biblical proportions. Unleashing nightmarish horrors on those
closest to Harvath, the attacker thrusts everything Harvath holds dear
-- including his life -- into absolute peril.
Ordered by the president to stay out of the investigation, Harvath
is forced to mount his own operation to uncover the conspiracy and to
exact revenge. When he discovers a connection between the attacks and
a group of prisoners secretly released from Guantanamo, Harvath must
ask himself previously unthinkable questions about the organizations
and the nation he has spent his life serving.
A renegade from his own government, Harvath will place his life on
the line as his search for the truth draws him into a showdown with
one of the most dangerous men on the face of the earth.
Brad Thor roars through this nonstop adventure full of international
intrigue, twisted betrayals, and ultimate revenge.

Ludlum." -- Chicago Tribune
