The Last Patriot

By: Brad Thor

Narrated by: Armand Schultz

Brad Thor, master of suspenseful and action-packed military thrillers and #1 New York Times bestselling author is back with his highest-voltage novel to date in which Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to stop militant Islam dead in its tracks.

June 632 AD: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated.

September 1789: US Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, who is charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery—one that could forever impact the world’s relationship with Islam and ignite a new chapter in political espionage.

Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian café, Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind. Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to a perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all. But as desperate as the American government is to have the information brought to light, there are powerful forces determined that Mohammed’s mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.

What Jason Bourne was to the Cold War, Scot Harvath is to the global War on Terror. The Last Patriot is a high-stakes descent into the world of spycraft and black ops that is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum.©2008 Brad Thor; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

Relevant to the world we live in today.

Relevant to the world we live in today and taking from today's headlines this is a must read. If one ignores the different viewpoints, and possibilities of outcome, they deserve what they are left with. Well worth the time.

One of his best!

I'm so happy to have discovered Brad Thor. I am trying to read all the books now in sequence to keep up with the travels and travails of Scott Harvath.

I'veI read about eight or nine of the Harvath series so far, and, to my reading, this is one of the best ( and I like them all!). Besides the normal action, alliances, and intrigue, I really like how Brad Thor integrated technical details about weapons and locales with historical information.

Armand Schultz's narration is spot on, as usual. The Last Patriot is a great listen.

Congratulatons...most excellent effort!

A worthwhile and enjoyable marriage of fact and fiction. It's so much fun you won't even know it's good for you.

An easy listen

Where does The Last Patriot rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is among the top entertaining ones.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, there were several twists that were entertaining.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Any additional comments?

The author's comments at the end on where he gleaned the ideas were especially interesting. The reader was great. His voice was at a pitch that made listening in the car easy for both my husband and myself. Our 500 mile trip passed quickly. =)

Bad Politics

As long as authors wish to inject their politics into their books (Clinton-Gore T-Shirt) they can loose readers who are opposed to their flavor of politics.
This will be my last Brad Thor Novel. It wasn't very good anyway.
