A recent stay in Myrtle Beach, SC gave me the opportunity to devour a couple of Brad Thor’s adventure yarns. The Lions of Lucerne is one of Brad’s best books. Lions is focused on the escapades of ex-SEAL Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath and the kidnapping of the President.
Thor does stretch credibility with some of the conspiracies and plot twists within our government. The reader also has to suspend reality abit when it comes to the bad guys trying to kill Harvath as he unravels the plot twists. As one of the bad guys 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 a cross 2 continents . 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 book that isn’t in the genre of great literature but you will have a hard time putting down. Have some fun and give it a read!
