About this eBook
“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.

Decent read but the book follows the same trend and this is much like the novel where they went after the Abu Nidal terrorists and ended up being rescued then they even get pinned down by the same type of helicopters! This rescue op though is in the snow though and the rescuers are different. Harvath's superhuman strength, stamina and ability to op⁶⁶erate at a lethal peak while exhausted and greatly injured is both annoying as implausible but another trope that hasþķķ become tired. I liked the book and will definitely read it again, but there needs to be new ideas injected into this universe and give him a love life where the girl doesn't get shot, stabbed, blown up or is injured. Definitely a page turner, but also a tale steeped in torture, revenge, hate and an unstoppable force.,
