As the Scot Harvath series matures, I’ve found that many of the plot elements to be disturbing. Thor has a dark side, and he doesn’t mind trodding it out. Many of the attacks and interrogations in this book made me quite uncomfortable.

That being said, the books continue to read fast and are engaging. They are certainly thrillers through and through. A nice element to this story was that it was less fanciful than the rest.

If I hadn’t read one of the more recent books in the series, I probably would abandon the Brad Thor books. However, knowing that the books will even out in terms of violence and believability, I’m confident to keep reading and enjoying the series.

Would I recommend: YES
