Product Description
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Navy SEAL turned covert operative Scot Harvath is called to action once again in Brad Thor’s hottest political thriller yet.

Buried within the black ops budgets of the Department of Defense, a new spy agency has been created. Unfettered by the oversight of self-serving politicians, it reports only to a secret panel of military insiders. Its job is to target America’s enemies - both foreign and domestic - under a charter of three simple words: Find, Fix, and Finish.

Recruited as a field operative, Scot Harvath has just returned from his first assignment abroad when a bombing in Rome kills a group of American college students. The evidence points to a dangerous colleague from Harvath’s past and a plan for further attacks on an unimaginable scale.

Harvath is tasked with leveraging his relationship to lure the man out of hiding and kill him on the spot. But what if it is the wrong man?

Simultaneously, a young woman is struck by a taxi in a hit-and-run in Chicago. With only two intoxicated witnesses and over five thousand cabs in the city, the Chicago Police have given up on their investigation. But when the family’s attorney digs deeper, he will uncover a shocking connection to the bombing in Rome and the perpetrators’ plans for America.

As the story rockets to its conclusion, the plots intersect in a race to prevent one of the most audacious and unthinkable acts of war in the history of mankind.

2 out of 5 stars Who needs Glenn Beck with Brad Thor and Vince Flynn giving so much political commentary!   September 4, 2010
S. Seymour (Alexandria, VA United States)
I've just finished Foreign Influence - a decent enough potboiler, but there are far better. I will admit my politics are certainly left of Thor (is that a mad up name or what) and a similar writer Vince Flynn. I can get behind some enemy bashing and tough guy action - it does appeal to our baser instincts. But how cliched for them to do the Jack Bauer/Dick Cheney piece every chapter or two. Both Thor and Flynn seem to be tough guy wannabes - read their bios. Thor touts being on the Homeland Security Analytic Red Cell Unit as some kind of credential - the unit is a group of novelists and other creative types who help the real antiterrorist actors by making up scenarios. Cool, hey. Vince Flynn talks about leaving being a salesman for a career in Marine aviation, but then does own up to being medically disqualified before even going to Officer Candidate School. So, let me get this right - that means he has less experience as a military aviator than I do from working for the US Air Force for 35 years and dating a lot of fighter pilots! Oh well, let the boys have their fun. But I'll take Nelson DeMille or Jack Higgins over these two anyday. Catch Thor and Flynn on Glenn Beck where they are reportedly regulars. I don't watch that show either.


4 out of 5 stars You don't have to read the previous books...   September 1, 2010
John O. Raab (Los Angeles, CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is the ninth book in the Scot Horvath series. The world is rocked by multiple terrorist attacks in Europe and there are more on the way including a possible attack on American soil. This is a very insightful look into covert ops and the restrictions that have been placed on our agencies that are hunting terrorist cells.

The action is non-stop as Horvath must not only figure out how to stop the imminent attacks, but deal with his own demons. The use of torture to extract information is vividly described and is the main tool in Horvath's arsenal. He will stop at nothing to prevent the attacks and his journey takes him all over the globe. You will not be disappointed in the frantic action and twists that permeate through this story.

Even though this is the ninth book in the series, you do not need to have read the previous books to know what is going on, but you will need to read "Foreign Influence" before the next novel in this series. We are cruelly left with a cliffhanger that only makes us thirsty to find out what happens next!

2 out of 5 stars mediocre but entertaining enough   August 30, 2010
Language Nut (usa)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

if you enjoy stereotypes of muslims as fanatical nutcases, and americans as idiots because of political correctness, you will probably enjoy this fast paced thriller. on the other hand, if mediocre writing bothers you don't bother. do we really need a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter? i was reminded of weekly soap operas! that said the story was interesting, and i just skimmed the very ridiculous and simplistic rants about muslims. written on kindle, where i have not mastered capitalization!



5 out of 5 stars Another heart racing Scot Harvath thriller   August 26, 2010
W. D. Barnum (Columbia, SC United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is another book by Brad Thor that uses his "hero" Scot Harvath to set your heart racing as you cannot wait to turn the next page to see what develops.

Thor and Harvath are the logical inheritors of the style made popular by Donald Hamilton and his "hero" Matt Helm back in the 1960's and 70's. (I do not mean the Matt Helm of the Dean Martin movies or the Tony Franciosa TV Series - but the one depicted in Hamilton's books.)

Both Harvath and Helm work for "off the books" organizations that hold that whatever is necessary to protect the USA is allowable and both lament the gutless wonders that run our government.

If you believe that the government can solve all of our problems and that political correctness is the right way to go, then neither of these authors nor their "heroes" are for you.

Another excellent book by Brad Thor. From reading his books it is obvious that he has excellent sources in DOD and the intelligence community.
