As Always Brad Thor did not disappoint this reader. I have enjoyed all his books and they are hard to put down once I have started one. Highly recommend.
Be Thankful It Is Fiction...

Brad Thor has written another compelling novel which will make you thankful that it is a work of fiction. During the Cold War the Soviets created numerous sleeper agents in the United States and provided them with suitcase nuclear bombs. Guarding against that possibility the United States created a similar cadre of agents. With the breakup of the SU, it was reasonably assumed that they would never be called on. That assumption held until the president is presented with a picture of such a bomb secreted in the Mall of America and directions on how to find it. The message is that this is just one of twenty such bombs and unless the president essentially removes the US from the world stage in his State of the Union address which is to occur in eight days, they will be detonated.Reacting to the threat, the US moves to deploy it's agents, only to discover that all but two have been killed, one has been brutally interrogated and the other is being used to bait a trap.Scott Horvath is once again called on by the president to save the day and in doing so, Mr. Thor has woven an ingenious plot, filled with interesting and dastardly characters which will keep you turning the pages and reluctant to put it down.
State of the union leaves you in a state of suspense!

In the beginning of the book the kidnapping of former head of the FBI Gary Lawler, Scott Harvath's best friend, and mentor occurs in Eastern Germany, and a web of sleeper cells is awoken in the U.S. to place suitcase atomic bombs in every major city in the U.S. The President, and the Country is held hostage, and Scott Harvath is sent to Germany to find Lawler, and his connection to the horrific plot against our nation. Scot connects with an old friend from GSG9 Germany's FBI, and the story takes one action filled turn, after another! The plot, action, and story never slows down, adding up to his best book yet! If his stories continue improving like this, there is no end in site to what he'll be able to accomplish. America's Matt Reilly!
Keep'em coming

Just as good as the other 2, if not better. Already can't wait to see what Brad Thor can come up with next. Great story, great characters, great book.
