I happened to pick this book up at a local thrift store. It seems to be the first in a long line of books by Brad Thor that feature a character named Scot Harvath. Currently I am about three-fourths of the way through it, and it is not a bad read.
Honestly, I usually don't like these types of books, but the author didn't build the main character into a super hero type like most of these type of books. At least in my opinion.
The main character, Scot, who is a former Navy SEAL, and now a Secret Service agent, makes mistakes along the way and doesn;t seem to do anything super human that I wouldn't expect from someone of his back ground or training.
I won't go into the story line or plot, because you can easily look that up online, but suffice it to say, it is a thriller and I think it is a page turner.
So far, it is entertaining enough that I went ahead and purchased the next two books Brad Thor wrote after this book featuring Scot Harvath as the main character. Path of the Assasin and State of the Union are the next two books in order. I am already looking forward to digging into them once I finish this one.
Thanks for reading,
Joe

Sounds like an interesting read. I can appreciate that the heroes aren't larger than life, but a lot of times they also have them making mistakes that no intelligent person would just to move the plot along. That's almost as bad in my opinion :)
I get ya, but this one’s not like that. At least I don’t think it is.
Some of Dean Koontz books are like that though. I like his books, but some of his main characters do some stupid stuff.
I'm a big fan of Clive Cussler and his books from when he was alive, but I fully acknowledge his heroes are much larger than life and most of the stuff he writes about isn't in the realm of reality.
