Reviewer Comments: What a roller coaster of a read! A terrorist strike on the Fourth of July wipes out the bridges and tunnels in New York, beginning a breakneck chase by Scot Harvath to hunt down and stop the group responsible before more destruction occurs. As the body count rises, Harvath realizes his own government may not be innocent and that his time to stop the carnage is limited. In the tradition of Demille's "Nightfall," this one will keep you turning pages all night! A must read!

Reviewer Comments: Thriller. After a lull of several years, terrorists once again launch a massive attack on the United states, despicably choosing a particularly important date--the Fourth of July weekend. In a perfectly executed plan, all bridges and tunnels leading into and out of Manhattan are hit just as thousands of commuters and tourists pore into them to begin their holiday weekends. With search and rescue teams occupied in the aftermath of the disaster, another group of foreign combatants makes its way through the city in search of one of their leaders- a man so important that the U.S. won't even acknowledge exists- let alone that they have him in custody and hidden. Scott Harvath, former SEAL and White House Secret Service agent, along with a small number of former fellow agents and SEALs must overcome inter agency bureaucracy to find and question this man before his supporters can get to him. Was this hit on New York a single attack or is there more coming? Who and where is the mastermind and who else is involved? And- how can these forces be eliminated? The plot races with incredible speed and intrigue- typical Brad Thor page-turning action. Super read.
