The Last Patriot

In Brad Thor's "The Last Patriot," former Navy SEAL and covert operative Scot Harvath finds his past catching up to him after a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian cafe. Saving the intended target, Harvath is drawn into a perilous, globe-trotting race to uncover an ancient secret with the power to neutralize militant Islam without further conflict. The mystery threads back through history, first to 632 A.D., when the Prophet Mohammed allegedly shared a final, startling revelation before his assassination. Centuries later, in 1789, a young Thomas Jefferson, while negotiating with Barbary pirates, makes a shocking discovery that could profoundly impact the world's relationship with Islam. Harvath's quest links these historical puzzles, but as he closes in on the truth, powerful forces emerge, equally determined to keep Mohammed's mysterious final revelation hidden forever, leading to a relentless and deadly confrontation.
