"The series continues to captivate and entertain. More thrilling adventures and rooting for bad boy Harvath. "

"Brad Thor is back on track with Blowback.<br/><br/>This was a super interesting storyline - albeit full of stereotypes and biases that are likely much easier seen post 9-11, it was none-the-less a true page turner.<br/><br/>The story lines follow two distinct plots. Firstly the attempted political and career discrediting of the main character, Scot Harvarth, by a US Senator who has her sights set on the Vice-Presidential and ultimately Presidential nomination though the destroying of the current sitting President.<br/><br/>The second and primary story line follows the plot of radical terrorists to decimate the US through an ancient and extremely deadly biohazard that will see all but true believers die a painful and horrible death as their brains turn to liquid.<br/><br/>I particularly loved the story tie-ins to the famous Carthaginian General Hannibal and to ancient forms of warfare."
