Brad Thor

A Thriller

Black Ice

“Masterfully plotted, blazing-fast, and filled with the kind of red-hot action his fans have come to expect, Black Ice is another instant classic from Brad Thor, who continues to push the envelope in ways that few before him have ever dared.” —The Real Book Spy The new Cold War is about to go hot. #1 New York Times and #1Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor is back with his most intense thriller yet. Scot Harvath is having his best summer ever. With a cottage on the fjord, a boat, and his beautiful girlfriend Sølvi, he’s got everything he could possibly want. But out of vacation days and long overdue back home, America’s top spy has a decision to make—return, or submit his resignation. When his deadly past comes calling, though, he’ll be left with no choice at all. Leaving his favorite Oslo café, Harvath watches as a ghost climbs out of a taxi—a man he killed years ago, halfway around the world. How is he still alive? And what is he doing in Norway? In a race against time that will take him high above the Arctic Circle, Harvath will be tested in ways he has never imagined and pushed to a limit few human beings could ever endure. If he succeeds, he’ll walk away with everything. If he fails, the United States and its allies will be at the mercy of one of the world’s most dangerous actors.

Scott Wilson

A suspenseful novel about relationships. On one hand the case between the main character and his new Finnish girlfriend; and on the other hand the relations of the US versus Russia and China.<br /><br />In this book, China has developed a new technology and Russia wants it. Scott Harvard stumbles on the plot almost accidentally while spending time with his new girlfriend in Finland. It seems as though China has been "investing" in the territories of the Sami peoples in northern Finland for some strange reason.<br /><br />As with all Brad Thor books this book was super easy to read, fast-paced, and enjoyable. However, as I have mentioned elsewhere his books are very one-sided (Good vs. Evil) and from an American perspective. In this case, an old Cold War enemy and a new Cold War enemy are collaborating together which is never good from an American perspective.

Epic DadWank stuff this, once I stopped being frustrated with all the boomer proselytizing and leant into the silly stuff it was quite fun. Not sure the story was all that interesting, but the guide to Norway was enlightening. There have been 20 of these books? Not sure I can manage that much mediocrity, despite the attraction of more descriptions of white American superspy using survivalist tips and only the best gadgets
