When the CIA learns of a terrorist plot to bomb the most important religious sites in Europe, it turns to counterterrorism expert Scot Harvath to thwart the plans by any means necessary. That means lots of shooting. Narrator Armand Schultz gives life to the tough-as-nails former SEAL and his team of equally hard-nosed warriors as they push their way through Europe and the Middle East, getting into one horrible battle after another. There are no sound effects in the audiobook, but Schultz's pacing and exciting descriptions of the action never allow the listener's mind to wander. The testosterone-fueled plot fulfills the listener's most macho fantasies about a man who does whatever he must to save the innocent from Islamic terrorism.

Opening with an ISIS bombing at the Burning Man festival in Nevada, book 17 in the Scot Harvath series sends the covert counterterrorism operative and his crew on a breathless, nonstop mission to find the mastermind behind the attack, Tajikistan terrorist Ravshan Tursunov. The novel shifts from team Harvath, engaging in combat and advanced interrogation (including waterboarding) in locations such as Libya and Mafia-run Sicily, to Tursunov as he visits crowded tourist destinations like the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and Paris's Tuileries gardens, where more bombs take many lives. In reading this red-meat adventure tale, actor Schultz (
Copyright 2017 Publisher Weekly.Mr. Robot ,The Normal Heart ) provides a lean, straightforward narration with credible accents for different characters: Harvath crew member Matt Morrison is from Alabama and speaks with a good ol' boy drawl, an Italian mob boss and a charismatic Italian lawman speak with unexaggerated Italian accents, and Tursunov and his villainous cohorts converse with what passes for credible Tajiki pronunciation. Schultz's clear, plain talk is an added blessing when it comes to the techno- and military-speak and weaponry and machinery details that this novel offers in abundance.An Atria/Bestler hardcover.
