Summary: Shows some promise
Review: This book started out with a lot of promise. The meeting of the conspirators and the well executed kidnapping of the President reminded me of the Ludlum of old. Scot Harvath, sole survivor of the kidnapping, is the only one to see through a paper thin attempt to frame Arab extremists for the abduction. Wanting to live up to his sense of duty he sets out to save the President single-handedly.It goes downhill from there. The series of vague clues and bizarre coincidences that lead Scot to Switzerland, Claudia (an ally), and the bad guys is overly far-fetched,to put it mildly. How many people do you know who keep a safe deposit box containing phony ID's, a weapon and a disguise just for yucks? The baddies are a crack team of elite Swiss mercenaries who can shoot and kill Secret Service agents who are skiing down a mountain but can't hit our hero when he is standing still. The story has way too many,"...the ground exploded around him..." type passages. Thor seemed in too much of a hurry to complete this story as the ending seems very rushed. Overall, not a terrible read. I think and hope that Thor will improve with future efforts

Summary: A Great, Fast Paced Entertaining Read
Review: This book was exciting, fast paced and well written. Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath is the only survivor of a well executed kidnapping of the President. Frustrated with and suspicious of the investigation (for good reason!)he takes it upon himself to find the President. The only problem with this book was that I found myself turning the pages too fast in an attempt to find out what happened next.
If you like government conspiracy books and covert operation books, this one is a must read.

Summary: It was okay...
Review: This could possibly be the worst book of it's type that I've ever read. I can't even bring myself to list all its failings. Please avoid this book like the plague. Try Vince Flynn instead.
