Synopsis

“Raw emotion, nonstop action, and relentless pacing makes Backlash another one-night read from Brad Thor.” —The Real Book Spy

#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor is back with his most gripping thriller yet!

In ancient texts, there are stories about men who struck from the shadows, seemingly beyond the reach of death itself. These men were considered part angel, part demon. Their loyalty was to their families, their friends, and their kings. You crossed these men at your peril. And once crossed, there was no crossing back.

They were fearless; men of honor who have been known throughout history by different names: Spartan, Viking, Samurai.

Today, men like these still strike from the shadows. They are highly prized intelligence agents, military operatives, and assassins.

One man is all three.

Two days ago, that man was crossed—badly. Now, far from home and surrounded by his enemy, Scot Harvath must battle his way out.

In the most explosive novel Brad Thor has ever written, page after captivating page of action, intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal will keep you hooked until the very last sentence.

About Brad Thor

To say that New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor is a most interesting person would be an understatement. He has accomplished many things since his graduation from the University of Southern California, where he studied writing, film, and television production. Before he began writing his very successful and quite lengthy list of novels, he was the award winning producer of the PBS series, Traveling Lite. After beginning his career as a novelist, he has been given the distinction of being an American thriller novelist. His most current books, Act of War and Code of Conduct have been given very high critical acclaim. Along with his busy writing career, he is also a 2016 Independent Presidential candidate.

Thor is a member of the well-known conservative think tank group, The Heritage Foundation, and has spoken during their meetings on a subject of which he is very passionate......a strong missile defense system. Thor is a frequent guest on news programs and also Glenn Beck and The Blaze. He is frequently commenting on the subject of terrorism, and is commonly asked how his novels rate for accuracy in covering terrorist issues. He reportedly traveled with a Black ops team in Afghanistan to give accurate descriptions of the conflicts in his book, The Apostle. Glenn Beck once gave an ominous prediction that Thor could potentially be the object of assassination by Muslim extremists because of the content of his book The Last Patriot. That novel was nominated for "Best Thriller Novel of the Year" by the International Thriller Writer's Association.

Thor lives in Nashville. He recently made negative, speculative comments about Donald Trump.......comments which he has since dialed back. Warner Brothers purchased the rights to the Scot Harvath series of thrillers and Thor's The Athena Project, with intentions to develop movie franchises for themselves.

Everything he’s ever done has led him to this moment. By now, readers know his story. Former Navy SEAL Scot Harvath cut his teeth with SEAL Team Two, the cold weather specialists, before joining the Navy’s storied SEAL Team Six, where he eventually assisted on a maritime presidential detail—catching......more

Goodreads review by L.A. on January 05, 2021

This book continues the fine Scot Harvath series and is recommended to action/adventure fans. It is mainly one long, difficult escape--from wolves, from Russian special forces, from the Arctic cold. There are points where the cliches are so thick they are distracting. The characters are not too deve......more

Read the full review at my site Digital Amrit Introduction Backlash has a straightforward story whose beats should be evident within the first few pages of starting the story. Scot Harvath has been captured by the Russians and has to fight his way out in an inhospitable terrain. What I liked Backlash m......more

Goodreads review by Pamela Small on August 09, 2019

3.5 stars. Definitely better than #17, #18 in the series, but not up to the level of intrigue and excitement of Thor’s previous Scott Harvath installments. 👎 The plot is based on the political machinations of Russia v USA, but the conflict isn’t fleshed out enough ... there is a lot of telling that......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on July 04, 2019

5/5 STARS***** WOWZA!!!! That was an amazing book! I wasn't sure Brad Thor could top himself after Spymaster and that cliff-hanger ending, but he did with a vengeance! It's really hard to talk about this book without giving anything away. It's definitely different from other books in the series. I wi......more

Quotes

"Ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath's most gripping adventure yet is given a jaw-dropping and pulse-pounding narration by Armand Schultz. Harvath is the lone survivor of a plane crash in a hostile environment. When he learns the crash was no accident, he's on his own in seeking revenge against his enemies. Harvath's distinct voice coupled with a smattering of lively accents populates the cast, and Schultz gives them nuanced performances in scenes that range from thundering action to contemplative moments. . . . Schultz maintains a clipped and engaging narration that makes for one hell of a listen for fans and newcomers alike."
