Synopsis

Brad Thor’s #1 New York Times bestseller, The Last Patriot , is now available from Encore.

June 632 A.D.: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated.

September 1789: U.S. Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, who is charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery—one that could forever impact the world’s relationship with Islam.

Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian café, Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind. Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to a perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all. But as desperate as the American government is to have the information brought to light, there are powerful forces determined that Mohammed’s mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.

What Jason Bourne was to the Cold War, Scot Harvath is to the War on Terror. In The Last Patriot, listeners will be engrossed as Harvath once again takes them on a whirlwind tour through international cities and nail-biting suspense where the stakes are higher than they have ever been before.

From AudioFile:

A former member of the Department of Homeland Security provides listeners with a well-researched thriller. Former Navy Seal Scott Harvath races around the world to uncover an ancient secret that could put an end to the modern face of terrorism. Narrator Armand Schultz gives a powerful, underplayed performance that captures the essence of every character. Schultz's portrayal of the story's omniscient narrator increases the tension, and he delivers expert Middle Eastern accents, as well. Overall, he commands his audience and brings Thor's heart-pounding action to the breaking point. An added bonus is a DVD, which features an author interview, bonus chapters, and a video.
