Takedown

Thank you Amazon for the picture
“Ignoring the order, Mohammed lunged back into the bedroom toward the
PowerBook. As he did, a pair of barbed probes from a TASER X26 ripped
through his cotton robe and imbedded themselves in the flesh of his back. When
the electricity raced through his body, his muscles locked up and he fell like a
dead tree trunk, face first onto the stone floor.
His hands and feet were Flexicuffed and the last thing he saw before
being dragged from the room was two of the men going for his laptop.”
Books, books and more books; can you believe that I ran out of room already on the recently bought book case. Arrg, o well that means I have to go buy a new one. Now only to convince dearest that Takedown written by Brad Thor needs to sit in a new book case.
After years without a terrorist attack on American soil, one group has picked the 4th of July weekend to pull out all the stops. In a perfectly executed attack, all of the bridges and tunnels leading into and out of Manhattan are destroyed just as thousands of commuters begin their holiday exodus. With domestic efforts focused on search and rescue, a deadly team of highly trained foreign soldiers methodically makes its way through the city with the singular objective of locating one of their own — a man so powerful that America will do anything to keep him hidden.
Scot Harvath is now the country’s only hope. Fighting his way through the burning streets of Manhattan, he must mount his own operation to locate a man the United States government refuses to admit even exists.
There is not much one can say about Brad Thor. There is a reason why he is New York Times Bestselling Author. His plots are fast paced, they keep you interested and he has found his niche in thrillers. Try him out; I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Oh and before I forget his book The Last Patriot just came to theaters July 1, 2008.
Happy Reading
