Act of War

In Brad Thor's "Act of War," former Navy SEAL and covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath is thrust into a global crisis when a CIA agent's mysterious death overseas unearths a startling claim from his top asset—a woman whose trustworthiness is deeply questioned. The stakes escalate dramatically as six exchange students vanish, two airplane passengers inexplicably switch identities, and a political asylum seeker is apprehended, all converging into a deadly, intricate plot. With the United States teetering on the brink of an imminent and devastating attack, America's new president has no choice but to deploy Harvath. He is tasked with leading two of the most perilous operations in the nation's history: 'Gold Dust' and 'Blackbird.' Shrouded in absolute secrecy, the discovery of either operation could be perceived as an act of war, threatening to ignite an international conflagration. Harvath must navigate a labyrinth of deceit, espionage, and high-stakes covert action to prevent a catastrophe, all while racing against time and questioning whom he can truly trust.
