<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a safe house near the Syrian border, a clandestine American operations team readies to launch a dramatic mission months in the making. Their target: the director of social media for ISIS, Abu Muslim al-Naser. Multiple analysts, as well as a senior congresswoman, are in country to monitor the raid, but before the team can launch, the safe house is attacked. What unfolds in the bloody aftermath is a political and public relations nightmare. As horrific videos of the Americans are published on the Internet, the blame-storming back in Washington goes into full swing, focusing on how the intel for the raid was developed and how it might have leaked. As the search for answers mounts, half spy, half covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath quickly finds himself at the center of the storm. Working for a private intelligence agency contracted by both the CIA and the DoD, it was Harvath who pinpointed al-Naser. But how could ISIS have known the Americans were coming, much less where they would be staging? There has to be more to it; something everyone -- especially the politicians -- is missing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"The best thriller of the year...an exciting and entertaining read." --The Washington Times</b> <p/><b>"A top-notch thriller." --Bill O'Reilly</b> <p/><b>From #1 <i>New York Times </i>and #1 <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author Brad Thor--a brilliant thriller as "current as tomorrow's headlines" (Dan Brown, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author). Terrorism in Europe has spun out of control. The United States has decided on a dramatic response. Now, the CIA needs a very special kind of operative.</b> <p/>Scot Harvath has exactly the skills the CIA is looking for. He's a former US Navy SEAL with extensive experience in espionage. Working for a private intelligence company, he will provide the CIA, and more important, the President, with absolute deniability. <p/>But deep within the Russian Caucasus, Moscow also has its own special kind of operative. As a child, Sacha Baseyev endured an unimaginable horror. Today, he lives and breathes for only one reason--to kill. And he will kill as many Americans as it takes to accomplish his mission. <p/>When a clandestine American operations team is ambushed near Syria, all signs point toward a dangerous informant in Brussels. But as Harvath searches for the man, he uncovers another actor--a rogue player hell-bent on forcing America's hand and drawing it into a confrontation deadlier than anyone could have imagined. <p/>As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life. From Vienna, Brussels, and Berlin, to Malta, Jordan, and Syria--he will push himself beyond the edge in order to confront one of the greatest evils the world has ever known. <p/>Filled with action, intrigue, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, <i>Foreign Agent</i> is a nonstop thrill ride that reaffirms Thor's position as the master of thrillers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Foreign Agent</i> is without a doubt the best thing hitting bookstores this summer.
