 Dissapointed November 14, 2009

Brad Thor and Vince Flynn are two of my favorites. This, sadly, was a big let down. It felt like a throw away. There were no plot twists, only two story lines that were very predictable and straight, only 2 or 3 action sequences and an INCREDIBLY lame ending to the Secret Service agent's story line... so lame it actually made me angry. I'll give him one more chance, but otherwise I'll stick to Flynn, because he's yet to let me down.
And to mirror one of the other reviews... Yes, the Red Bull plugs got a little old.
Not one of his best October 31, 2009

Scot Harvath, a staunch opponent of the current President, is called upon by this President to rescue a major donor's daughter from the Taliban.
The President has other problems with the fatal drunk driving accident of one his staff.
Thor interweaves these two plots seamlessly. He has good action scenes but the overall story does not live up to his previous works.
I kept waiting for a action packed plot twisting ending and it just seemed to fizzle.
Being a Brad Thor fan, I was not impressed. It was an ok read but not a page turner

Outstanding! The improved upon equivalent of Tom Clancy for our day and age. Soooo realistic it is worrisome!
Could not put the book down. Very little sleep during the 4 days that it took to finish the book off. GREAT READ!

This was my first experience with a Brad Thor book, and I wasn't all that impressed. I was hoping for more of a James Patterson type thriller and instead got a more military minded story. For a book about action in Afghanistan, there really wasn't a lot of action, just a lot of preparation for action.
The sub-plot was not very interesting and I wasn't really sure why it was put in the book.
All that aside, it was still an interesting enough story to actually get me through the book, but not something that will prompt me to pick up another of Thor's books.
Glen Beck - REALLY? October 9, 2009

Enjoyed the book, but read the Acknowledgements, and I must say, I cannot believe you are "a good friend of Glen Beck". I thought I found another author to read and made a connection with, but I am really turned off by the fact you consider Glen Beck a good friend. Do you cry as often as he does on TV? Come on, Man up!!
