Product Description:
Scot Harvath's counterterrorism career has just crashed and burned -- thanks in part to a ruthless senator with her sights set on the White House. But when the war on terror takes a chilling turn, the president has no choice but to secretly bring Harvath back inside. Deep beneath an Alpine glacier, an ancient weapon designed to decimate the Roman Empire has been unearthed -- and a shadowy organization intends to use it for America's downfall. Racing across Europe, Harvath must secure the ultimate instrument of destruction before it brings the United States and the rest of the world to its knees.

Blowback is the 4th book in Brad Thor's thriller series featuring Scott Harvath. This is a fun book to read with the fast pacing for which the author has come to be known. Blowback features numerous exotic locations; from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, counter-intelligence specialist Harvath must race against the clock to try to once again save America. Adding intrigue to the story are the historical elements involving the Ottoman Empire and Hannibals trek across the Alps.
The book features an ambitions female senator who desires to take down President Rutledge - a recurring character - by using an international incident from the Middle East involving Harvath.
There is no doubt that the imagination must be stretched a bit sometimes when reading one or all of the novels in this series. That is why it is called fiction; however. I recommend suspending any disbelief and enjoying the fast paced ride and good storyline that Blowback delivers. Enjoy this 4-star read!
The books in this series are:
The Lions of Lucerne
Path of the Assassin: A Thriller
The Last Patriot: A Thriller
State of the Union: A Thriller
Blowback: A Thriller
Takedown: A Thriller
The First Commandment: A Thriller

It was okay. I've read the previous books in the series, but I'm taking a Scot Harvath break for a little while. It's an okay read if you like a LOT of science and history (which I usually do, but come on!) mixed in with your political thriller. Although I found a lot less thriller and more detective work in this one.

Good book with lots of action involving real time events and social issues. Keeps the reader reading late in the night.

A littl too much over the top for me. This guy is too unbelievable!
