Blowback

In Brad Thor's electrifying thriller "Blowback," disgraced ex-Delta Force operative Scot Harvath finds himself thrust back into the geopolitical maelstrom. After an unauthorized operation broadcast live on Al Jazeera ends his official career, Harvath is unexpectedly reinstated by the President. The world faces an unprecedented threat: an ancient weapon, originally conceived to dismantle the Roman Empire, has resurfaced and now targets the United States. Following three summers of record-breaking heat, a melting Alpine glacier has unearthed this catastrophic secret. Harvath must navigate a shadowy organization that has been meticulously searching for this ultimate weapon for decades. From the sun-drenched shores of Cyprus to the historic streets of London and Paris, and on to the high-tech bunkers of Switzerland and the sands of Saudi Arabia, Harvath races against the clock. He must prevent this devastating artifact from plunging civilization back into the Dark Ages, battling against a malevolent force determined to unleash its full destructive potential upon the Western world. This high-octane narrative pits a lone operative against a global conspiracy, with the fate of nations hanging in the balance.
