Good Clean & Fast Fun

Customer Rating:

Blowback is the 4th book in Brad Thor's thriller series featuring Scott Harvath. This is a fun book to read with the fast pacing for which the author has come to be known. Blowback features numerous exotic locations; from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, counter-intelligence specialist Harvath must race against the clock to try to once again save America. Adding intrigue to the story are the historical elements involving the Ottoman Empire and Hannibals trek across the Alps. The book features an ambitions female senator who desires to take down President Rutledge - a recurring character - by using an international incident from the Middle East involving Harvath. There is no doubt that the imagination must be stretched a bit sometimes when reading one or all of the novels in this series. That is why it is called fiction; however. I recommend suspending any disbelief and enjoying the fast paced ride and good storyline that Blowback delivers. Enjoy this 4-star read! The books in this series are: The Lions of Lucerne Path of the Assassin: A Thriller The Last Patriot: A Thriller State of the Union: A Thriller Blowback: A Thriller Takedown: A Thriller The First Commandment: A Thriller

Kind of tedious and unbelievable	Customer Rating:
It was okay. I've read the previous books in the series, but I'm taking a Scot Harvath break for a little while. It's an okay read if you like a LOT of science and history (which I usually do, but come on!) mixed in with your political thriller. Although I found a lot less thriller and more detective work in this one.

Good read, Timely and full of action.	Customer Rating:
Good book with lots of action involving real time events and social issues. Keeps the reader reading late in the night.

Way Too Much	Customer Rating:
A littl too much over the top for me. This guy is too unbelievable!

Caricatures instead of characters

Customer Rating:

I picked up this book because I usually enjoy thrillers - especially political and legal. I wish I'd paid more attention to the negative reviews. In my opinion, this is a pale imitation of the Baldacci, Ludlum, Follett, Forsyth etc. I've enjoyed in the past. The few chapters I've read thus far are formulaic (at best) and the characters are so over-the-top that they read like a Saturday Night Live parody. I don't think I'm going to waste my time finishing the book.
