Two fun books by Brad Thor
A recent stay in Myrtle Beach, SC gave me the opportunity to devour a couple of Brad Thor’s adventure yarns. Blowback and The Lions of Lucerne are two of Brad’s best books. Both books are focused on the escapades of ex-SEAL Scot Harvath. If you you decide to read these books, start with Lions because Harvath’s relationship with FBI Director Lawlor and President Rutledge in Blowback is based somewhat on their mutual experiences in Lions.
In both books the reader has to suspend reality abit when it comes to the bad guys trying to kill Harvath. As one of the bad guys in Lions puts it, Scot seems to have more lives than a cat. Of course, Thor doesn’t let Harvath escape totally unscathed. He gets wounded, nearly drowned, and suffers hypothermia. He gets kicked, punched and bruised over most of his body all the while pursuing and being pursued. But of course, by the next encounter Harvath has healed/ recovered just enough to put down a bad guy or rescue his beautiful companion!
The overall result is a couple of books that aren’t in the genre of great literature but you will have a hard time putting down. Have some fun and give them a read!
