Backlash, by Brad Thor

If you are a fan of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath books, I know you have been eagerly waiting to read Backlash.  And if you are a fan of Harvath, you probably won't be disappointed.  As readers will remember from the end of the previous book, Spymaster, Harvath's wife and mentor are killed and he's snatched by the murders.  Picking up at that point, Harvath has been beaten badly by his captors who have him on a plane on the way to Russia.

When their plane crashes above the Arctic Circle, Harvath's fight for survival is only beginning.  He takes out his captors and then goes on the run, trying to survive in the frigid snow, knowing the Russian mercenaries are on his tail and he has to scramble for the border.  It will not surprise the reader to know that Harvath can figure out how to outsmart and out-survive the nasty ol' Russians.

Eventually the global implications of the story come into focus--after all, Russian operatives snatched an American citizen from U.S. soil.  But most of the story is simply raw Harvath at his toughest and deadliest.  This is an exciting, adrenalin-pumping read that successfully continues the legend of Harvath.  Eat it up, Harvath fans.
