Called to action once again in the latest pulse-pounding international thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor, Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath must find the daughter of a politically connected family who has been kidnapped in the terrorist hinterlands of Afghanistan.
From terrorist redoubts in the mountains of Afghanistan to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., Brad Thor takes readers on a breathtaking thrill ride through the world's geopolitical hot spots -- with covert operative Scot Harvath situated squarely in the line of fire.
When the daughter of media titan James Gallo is kidnapped in Afghanistan, Gallo turns to his most powerful ally, the newly elected president of the United States. But even the president cannot help the Gallo family -- at least not publicly.
One of al-Qaeda's top operatives, Mustafa Khan, is being held inside the Kabul prison, and the Taliban are willing to make a deal -- Susan Gallo in exchange for Khan. There's just one problem. The newly elected president campaigned on the refusal to negotiate with terrorists. If he goes back on his word, both America and his presidency will be gravely damaged. Enter, Scot Harvath.
With limited support, meager resources, and full knowledge that Washington will deny any knowledge of the operation if he is killed or captured, Harvath must enter the notorious Policharki prison to free one of the world's most brilliant terror masterminds. But from the moment he arrives in Afghanistan, Harvath realizes that things are not what they seem.
In a bid for global dominance, an enemy of the United States has baited a brilliant hook. Harvath is offered the opportunity to deliver a crippling blow to al-Qaeda, but in doing so he may very well give rise to an even greater threat to America. His only hope is to single-handedly outsmart one of the world's most ruthless intelligence organizations and beat their power-hungry paymasters at their own game.
Brimming with the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity only someone with Brad Thor's military and intelligence experience could bring to the table, The Apostle doubles down on the blockbuster success of The Last Patriot and reaffirms Thor's status as the master of the political thriller.
