Foreign Agent: A Thriller (The Scot Harvath Series Book 15) by Brad Thor (Epub)

Description

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.

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.

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.

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.

Filled with action, intrigue, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Foreign Agent is a nonstop thrill ride that reaffirms Thor’s position as the master of thrillers.

⭐ Brad Thor’s latest book, Foreign Agent, is another solid thriller in this franchise. This time out, Horvath must track down the source responsible for not only interfering with his own missions, but also is responsible for assassinating the US Secretary of Defense, all with the intent of dragging the US further into the Middle East mess. Horvath traipses all over Europe, slowly peeling back the cover of a rogue pseudo-ISIS mastermind. Along the way, he engages with several new colleagues, including a German police officer and a couple of Syrian resistance fighters, all while going toe-to-toe with Russian agents. At the same time, he reconnects with an old colleague. Both old and new colleagues may be additional fodder for future installments.The tradecraft is pure Horvath which can be over the top at times, but are a bit subdued this time out. There’s an emphasis on pure detective style sleuthing as well as operating in hostile territory. Thor has scaled back the involvement of Nicolas, the pygmy cyber genius to more realistic contributions and Scott continues to struggle with the irreconcilable nature of his professional versus private life. Whether this introspection remains an ongoing theme or provides a bridge to shifting gears remains to be seen, but it’s hard to imagine Horvath changing his spots for simple domestic bliss. While the story and plot is obviously purely fictional, Thor has captured essential elements of current geopolitics and general Middle East tensions making for an eminently plausible tale. As usual, the writing is tight with excellent pacing.

⭐ Scott Harvath, apparently a recurring figure in Thor’s books, is assigned to seek revenge for the killing of several CIA operatives and their girlfriends who are ambushed in Anbar Province. He feels guilty because the agents were there based on intelligence from one of his sources and is eager to avenge the deaths. Harvath seems like a Mitch Rapp-type character but he is less one-dimensional than Rapp; he is concerned over a woman he loves and whether they will be able to be together. He also is sympathetic towards victims and additional women he encounters. On the other hand, he is completely cold-hearted in his assassinations of the various bad buys he is sent to eliminate. Since he is not directly employed by the government, operating under the radar while giving President Porter complete deniability. The plot of this book is pulled right out of today’s headlines. Isis is killing Americans with the help of the Russians. A very effective Russian agent becomes his primary target. Sascha Baseyev is the sole survivor in his family from a deadly terrorist attack on a Russian school. His only goal in life is revenge and he doesn’t care who he kills. He has inserted himself into Isis but is working for the Russian government. The complicated plot includes several episodes of torture used to find the intelligence needed to stop Baseyev. Action-packed but as noted some thoughtful aspects to Harvath’s character.

⭐ Not bad by any means. I feel like mr. Thor lost some of the magic ever since Foreign Influence. I read all Scot Harvath series up til this point. Im too far invested to not finish until the most recent book. Im still waiting for a average female to make an appearance. Apparently, all females in the world are drop dead gorgeous according to Thors books.Too much Hollywood cheese and some things just seems rushed. Especially when it gets towards the end of the book.It is starting to feel like rehashed books with similar plots. Maybe release books bi-yearly instead every year? Still decent read if you are a fan…

⭐ I’ve read all of Thor’s books and he’s been my favorite author of this genre after Vince Flynn. However, this book felt like it was outsourced to some ghost writer. It was slow reading, with implausible plot twists and overall below the level I am used to see from Thor. I hope it is not an indication he is burning out and running out of new ideas. Despite of it, I am still looking for his next book in the hope of better things to come.

⭐ Because every Brad Thor book involves combat & most include knives in that combat my bank-account dreads each new novel, for I am incapable of resisting the urge to buy whatever knife the Norseman carries. The Syrian episodes in Foreign Agent introduced to me Winkler knives & I’m thrilled. Great story, great weapons, great times.

⭐ I will give a five-in-one review for the five Thor books I just ‘read’ in one day. I wish the author progress, and he currently has all the tools – characters, plot, action – but lacks the most fundamental one. There’s no poetry or music in his writing. Reading a Thor book is like bumping along a cobblestone road on hard bike rims. I prefer the smooth roller coaster thrillers of Lee Childs, Vince Flynn, John Stanford, or JD McDonald.

⭐ I just didn’t find this book terribly interesting. Once again the author seems to have found “endings” for his recent stories and they mirror each other and it just feels weak. I wish the characters had depth but 16 books in its just not going to happen. The DC stuff was interesting but I would suggest reading Vince Flynn’s series as they have more detail, setup and execution

⭐ I really am not writing a review because I started to read this book but it was a little too gruesome for me and a bit too real-life … what is going on in the world today and I get enough of that on the news and in the papers.This was a bookclub book and some read it and liked it but others put it down as I did.I have read another Brad Thor book and enjoyed it but this one just didn’t do it for me.

⭐ I love Scot Harvath series. I’ve read them all twice, but this last one falls short. Everything just seems so smooth – hacker is in place to kill power, drone in place to do surveillance, fighters around when he needs fighters, friendly locals when he needs locals, ISIS people not responding to stuff in their HQ at all, interrogators getting what they need in minutes …. No development to anything, just a huge gung-ho lets get them, Russians are bad, ISIS is bad, America F-yeah everything we do is awesome.I think Mr. Thor is a victim of his own success, with publishers requesting a book per year or faster.

⭐ This is one, if not THE best book I’ve read all year. It is packed with action from the first page. Sadly, I think it hits very close to home and what’s going on in the world today.Scot Harvath may be a fictional character, but I believe we have many men and women on our side, just like him. And thank God we do. The love of freedom and country are so important to him and so many others, I can’t help but think I’m right.Whatever you do, if you get the chance, read FOREIGN AGENT: A THRILLER (Scot Harvath). Many, many thanks to the “real” people like him and come home safely.
