From #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Brad Thor, comes the white-knuckled thriller The Apostle.
A new administration and a new approach to dealing with America's enemies have left covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath without a job. But when American doctor Julia Gallo is kidnapped in Afghanistan, the terms of her ransom leave the president with only one course of action.
In a dangerous assignment that the United States government will deny any knowledge of, Scot Harvath must secretly infiltrate Kabul's notorious Policharki Prison and free the man the kidnappers demand as ransom--al-Qaeda mastermind Mustafa Khan.
But when Harvath arrives, he quickly learns that there is more to the kidnapping than anyone dares to admit. And as the subterfuge is laid bare, Harvath must examine his own career of hunting down and killing terrorists, and ask himself if he has what it takes to help one of the world's worst go free.
Brimming with the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity Brad Thor's internationally bestselling novels are known for, The Apostle doubles down on the blockbuster success of The Last Patriot and reaffirms Thor's status as the master of the political thriller.

Came very nicely packed
This is one big advertisement for Red Bull. The story is interesting but slow moving due to unnecessary filler in the story arcs. There’s also a lot of blatant anti-Islam rhetoric.
Another good read following the exploits of our super hero, Scot Harvath. One possible timeline quibble without revealing any plot details. Assuming the action takes place in 2009 (based on the previous 7 books which I have read), a key female described as age 55 would have been born in 1954 which makes for a very young widow (occurring in “early 1970s”, say 16 to 20) from which arose the astute media maven who also gave birth to her 32 year old daughter in 1977 (father tbd). Nevertheless, another thrilling Harvath adventure.
Again a good book,with,a great cast of characters and a good story line and for a good cause.I give the book a four star rating because it don't get the five star,as some of the other writers that I,read. Good but not great.
Loved the main, wished there was more to the subplot. But an enjoyable read, definitely worth your time and imagination.
