Thriller

Scot Harvath, un ex agente de los cuerpos especiales de la Marina estadounidense, deberá luchar contrarreloj para desvelar un fabuloso secreto en el que tres elementos encajan como un rompecabezas: Thomas Jefferson, tercer presidente de los Estados Unidos, un criptograma ingeniosamente oculto entre las páginas del Quijote y una revelación del profeta Mahoma que jamás vio la luz.

This entry read like a Scott Harvath and National Treasure crossover event; I thought it was great fun. The historical elements were interesting, the plot was fast-paced and interesting, always enough mystery to keep me reading a chapter or two more than I had planned. ( )

Quick read, but less action than usual for Scot Harvath. Some of the story line involving Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates was interesting (vis-a-vis a missing last book of the Koran.) The epilogue was not believable. ( )

What a great read! 'The Last Patriot' really flows very nicely. Two of the things I like about Brad Thor generally, and this book in particular is that the lines are double-spaced so it feels like you are really moving along while you're reading it. Additionally, the chapters are short. Both seem to help move the action along quickly. Scot Harvath does what he does best - track down enemies of the U.S. and dissuade them, often permanently, from their foolish behavior. In this instance he tackles the issue of islamic terrorism. I agree with the majority of what he depicts about islam, except on the occasions when he gets squishy and talks about how the majority of muslims are good people, you know, the moderates. The only thing I can see that distinguishes a moderate muslim from a radical one is this: a radical muslim will use a scimitar to dispatch you, the moderate will hold your feet while he's doing it. As usual, Brad Thor as turned out another thrilling and enjoyable adventure. He is among my top five favorite authors. ( )
