Blowback by Brad ThorMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Harvath #4
Blowback features a welcomed change of plot for a political/thriller/ass kicker. This realm of books has quite a few stars and subsequently lacks "fresh" storylines. Brad Thor keeps his normal action-packed pace while adding aspects of bioterrorism, chemistry and some very intriguing world history. The type of book that sends you to Google with a few "did that really happen?" The result being an impressive intertwining of non-fiction world history and modern action/thriller.
Scot finds himself baited into a trap in the early pages. Unfortunately for him and POTUS his actions are captured on camera and twisted into a social media scandal. Harvath now forced to keep under the radar while a power hungry Senator tries to propel herself into the Oval Office by means of exposing Harvath as the Presidents private assassin. Meanwhile, an outrageous human engineered disease surfaces with symptoms more consistent with a zombie flick than any known virus. Naturally our boy Scot is tasked to unravel the mystery and send some lead into the brains behind this new bio-terror threat. The ensuing adventure ranges from sand to glacier and includes what is now female prospect #3 for our former DEVGRU hero...
