To me, it seems like Harvath is one of those characters that’s a different breed. Well…still have to say that eighteen in a series is quite an accomplishment. I did a spin-off book called “The Athena Project” that Harvath was in for a short while, but it wasn’t part of the series. I hate to correct people but, actually, although I’ve written 19 books, “Backlash” is actually the 18 th in the Harvath series. How have you been?īrad Thor (B.T.): I’m doing well, John. John Raab (J.R.): I am pleased to be able to bring back a great guest, the author of “Backlash”-which is number 19 in the bestselling Scot Harvath series-Brad Thor. In the most explosive novel Brad Thor has ever written, page after captivating page of action, intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal will keep you hooked until the very last sentence. With no support, no cavalry coming, and no one even aware of where he is, it will take everything he has ever learned to survive.īut survival isn’t enough. Now, far from home and surrounded by his enemy, Scot Harvath must battle his way out. Two days ago, that man was crossed-badly. They are highly prized intelligence agents, military operatives, and assassins. Today, men like these still strike from the shadows. They were fearless men of honor who have been known throughout history by different names: Spartan, Viking, Samurai. And once crossed, there was no crossing back. Their loyalty was to their families, their friends, and their kings. These men were considered part angel, part demon. In ancient texts, there are stories about men who struck from the shadows, seemingly beyond the reach of death itself.
