In his daring and chilling first novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor draws us into a sinister labyrinth of political intrigue and international terrorism, serving up an explosive cocktail of unrelenting action as one man is pushed to the edge.
On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the President of the United States has been kidnapped and his Secret Service detail massacred. Only one agent has survived--ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn't buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge. But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland--and joins forces with beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney's Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus--where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known...

A great start to the series! I actually didnβt start here, but Iβm glad I went back. I think Iβll go in order from here.
poor writing and riddled with errors. if you like Clancy you'll hate this.
I would agree with some reviews that the writing is a little interesting. There are random sentences added that don't add to the story and could be left out. Also, the main character Scot is EXTREMELY lucky. BUT the storyline itself is amazing!! A group of Swiss highly trained mercenaries kidnap the President. Fast paced action and the storyline more than make up for the writing.My first Harvath book was Black Ice which I loved. You can tell how the writing improved and it's a little more believable in terms of Harvath not being so lucky. This book and Black Ice have great plots and geographical references are all legit.
I must say for the author this 1st volume in the series grabbed a hold of me. For the start of the book it was very slow to get going. I had briefly contemplated moving past the book and moving on. When it got going it really pulled me in. It was nonstop action and for the rest of them volume. I'll continue the series at some point.
Thoroughly exciting read. Lots of action and suspense. Several close calls that kept your interest. International intrigue and several interesting characters.
