Synopsis

In Brad Thor's highest-voltage thriller to date, Scot Harvath must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to stop militant Islam dead in its tracks.

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, 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 cafŽ, Navy Seal turned covert Homeland Security Operative 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 an amazing and perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all without firing another shot, dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action. But there are powerful men who are determined that Mohammed's mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.

Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "quite possibly the next coming of Robert Ludlum," Brad Thor takes listeners across the globe on a heart-pounding chase 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.
