Told in detailed brilliance by the master of the "spy novel" genre, Brad Thor, this page-turner will keep you on the edge of your seat as the twists and turns of the plot unfold. From Russia to London to Langley, Virginia, Brad Thor weaves a story of mystery, espionage and intrigue. Follow the trail of a super spy as he thwarts a secret plot to rob America of her most prized possession.
Brad Thor's books are always entertaining, thrilling and a great story, I have enjoyed all of them
I am not a generally a critical reader, but I just had to put this one down. If there was any more Deus ex machina in these novels, Thor would have to write himself in as a character. The creators of Scooby Doo have taken to writing action thrillers. One-dimensional, heavily stereotyped characters make their way through the world while just happening to always be in the right place at the right time with all the right equipment.
But really, it is a thriller novel, you shouldn't go into it expecting Faulkner, expect Hemingway. Brad Thor's novels are extremely fun to read and quite captivating, a la Matthew Reilley, but just like the aforementioned author, he writes with such a simple, action-packed prose, that it is hard to reccomend to others, unless of course that is what you are looking for.
Also, I enjoy how the end of the third book gets you ready for the fourth book (at least I assume that it does as I have not read Blowback: the fourth book in the series) I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone who has interest in this series or these types of political/military thrillers. State of the Union is Brad Thor's third book in his Scot Harvath (ex-Navy SEAL, ex-Secret Service) series.This book deals with a resurgent Russia lead by old communist die-hards. The plot is interesting and fresh, with Russia's comeback both logical and comprehensible.
