With a mind-blowing audiobook rating of 4.7/5 and a length of a whopping 11 hours and 30 minutes, you better buckle up because this ride is going to be one for the books.
Alright, let's dive into the story. We start off six months ago, in the dead of the night, where something absolutely insane goes down at Guantanamo Bay. Picture this: five seriously dangerous detainees are plucked from their isolation cells, guns pointed at their heads, and forced to strip off their orange jumpsuits. Yeah, I know, it sounds like a ridiculously intense scene straight out of a blockbuster movie. But hold on, it gets even crazier. These guys are then given civilian clothes and whisked away in a Boeing 727, released into the wild, free as birds.
Now let's fast forward to the present day, where our covert counterterrorism hero, Scot Harvath, wakes up to a whole new world. And not in a good way. Things have gone haywire, my friends. A sadistic assassin, with a bone to pick and a deep personal vendetta, is wreaking havoc left and right. We're talking biblical proportions of destruction. And guess who gets caught up in this nightmarish chaos? You got it—Scot Harvath and everyone and everything he holds dear. It's like the universe is conspiring against him. Poor guy.
But wait, it gets even more intense. The president himself orders Harvath to keep his nose out of the investigation. Can you believe that? Our hero, with his life on the line, is forced to take matters into his own hands. He's determined to uncover the truth, to unearth the hidden conspiracy behind all this madness. Oh, and did I mention that he eventually stumbles upon a shocking connection between the attacks and a group of prisoners secretly released from Guantanamo? Yeah, that's right—things just got a whole lot more complicated.
Driven by a thirst for justice and driven away from his own government, Harvath embarks on a life-or-death mission. The truth is out there, waiting for him to grab hold of it. But it won't be easy, folks. He's going to face off against one of the most dangerous men on Earth. It's a battle of wits, courage, and sheer determination.
Now, let me tell you, Brad Thor doesn't hold back. This nonstop adventure is bursting with international intrigue, twisted betrayals, and a thirst for sweet, sweet revenge. Brace yourselves, because you're in for a wild ride. So plug in those headphones, find a cozy spot, and let George Guidall guide you through this heart-pounding journey. Get ready to have your mind blown.
