Eye on Books

In bestselling thriller writer Brad Thor's world, when the President needs a counterterrorism operative he can count on, he usually turns to series hero Scot Harvath. But as Thor's book "The Apostle" opens, a new president has taken office, and may not have as much use for Harvath and his unique skillset. That is, until the daughter of a well-connected political family is kidnapped in Afghanistan. The president calls on Harvath, but the terms of ransom may require Harvath to free one of the world's worst terrorists.
