To my dismay I actually read to the end in hopes that some uplifting thing might happen. Why the author felt that any American would want to see our guys be out smarted, maneuvered and gunned by Muslim terrorists is beyond me. Only to have it jerked away on the last page. This has been one of the most disappointing adventures in reading that I can remember. Normally I would not bother to write a review, but this book was such a downer that a comment was needed.
I can't wait for the next book from Brad thor. If you liked "The Lions", you will love this book. Typical 'Thor', fast paced, keeps your interest.
The action ranged from Morocco to D.C.Fans of Thor will find this book to be much like his others: a page turner with non-stop action. If you have not read Thor before, do yourself a favor and read this one and several of his others. Takedown is a thriller from start to finish. There are also some characters that appear in some of his other work including 'The Troll'. If you are already a Thor fan, you will experience another one of his great stories. It will keep readers on the edge of their seats for the whole ride.It features counterterrorist operative Scot Harvath who is a master at hunting down the bad guys and stopping more destruction. This novel was set around a horrific attack on New York City.
I'm going to get back at you for trying to kill me by hunting you down across the ocean just to kill a woman you've known what, a week. Yeah that hurts. The book was enjoyable for a summer read. And leave you totally uninjurred. So as long as you don't take it too seriously and don't think too much you can read it and enjoy it. Of course it's a one man army against the evil terrorists and everyone else is just backdrop. The worst thing about it was the killing of the girlfriend at the end, just plain stupid.
can't beat it for reading on the deck and we all know there is nothing on tv. right now reading a fourth book of his. great summer read, thriller, fast paced and love the central character scot harvath. am a robert ludlam fan and thor's books are similar in the intrigue, mystery, action.
