Great Book. Edge of your seat type of book.
But liked it and was a bit slow. The concept was OK but nothing like a James Patterson book. I actually expected better.
A great book. Fast pace and a real page turner. Involves some real history and of course fiction as well. Kind of like how Cussler does his books, some true history mixed in with a whole lot of Fiction. I plan on reading the whole series.
I am a follower of Brad Thor's books and have found his work to be well written and of great interest to me. Dare I say that this was not the case with this novel. It seemed to have been written about problems with the Muslim World, because it was a topic of the day. To me he seemed to feel that such a book would sell and and anything convoluted on the topic, would be adequate for the reader. First time I felt this way about one of his novels. Swap for my book and see what your opinion of it is?
Fast paced and exciting - a good thriller. This was my first Thor novel and I enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if I picked the story up in the middle, but enjoyed the characters and will look for others.
All of the Harvath books are outstanding. Brad Thor puts you there! I feel the pain everytime our hero gets punched, cut, or shot! Thor's outlook on Muslims and terrorism is right on track.
EXCELLENT, FAST READING TERRORIST THRILLER. ONE OF THE BETTER ACTION BOOKS I HAVE READ. HARVATH EASILY BECOMES A REAL LIFE PERSON IN THIS BOOK. EASILY AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN A CLIVE CUSSLER NOVEL
The Last Patriot starts off with ex-CIA agent Scot Harvath and his girlfriend Tracy drinking coffee in a Parisian café when they notice something amiss. This leads them to saving a man that they do not know from a bombing becoming the prime suspects by the French police. This leads to a complicated plot dealing with the Koran, Mohammed, Thomas Jefferson, puzzles, espionage, murder, and documents that are found but maybe should remain lost. The person that holds these documents could change the history of the world and Islam beliefs. Are they real?
The Last Patriot was my first book by Brad Thor and I was so glad that my father gave it to me to read on the plane. I love when authors use actual history to create a fiction story because I am not good about just reading history but reading books like this make me want to learn more about the actual history situation that occurs. I say this because the author does take liberties with some of the history that he includes in this book but he acknowledges this at the end of the book.
I am giving this book a four star rating because I found some of the character development a little bit lacking. I was a little confused by the assassin changing his tune halfway through the book but understood on some level that people get worn down. I would highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read more of Thors books.

This was my facorite Brad Thor paperback. It was quick with suspense and action based. This was totally action packed from the being to the end. I never put this Brad Thor book down. Was exciting when corruption from with was apparent. You realy won't put the book down unless you have to!
Good book. Had lots of characters to keep track of but was interesting plot.
This book keeps your interest going, with some surprise turns. There are a lot of ways the plot can twist which keeps you guessing. The characters are also well developed, which helps contribute to the overall storyline. I would definitely give this book the thumbs up!
Brad Thor just gets better with every book! His protagonist, Scot Harvath is a Navy SEAL turned Secret Service presidential bodyguard, turned counter-terrorism agent. The plotting, dialog and action are on a par with the best of Vince Flynn or Ted Bell, and IMHO just slightly better than most of Tom Clancy's fiction. The Last Patriot is as up-to-date as today's (or perhaps tomorrow's) headlines. If you're into spy/terrorist thrillers, read this book.
This is an interesting story with some very good and accurate background information on Islam. Unfortunately, much of the action is preposterous and and the hero, Scot Harvath, gets caught or compromised too many times. He'd be dead in the real world. And, as always with Brad Thor, there's never any satisfaction with his endings. The hero never really gets the bad guy that's been giving him and everyone else so much trouble. Someone else does.
Scot Harvath saves the day (and the world) again. This thriller is not just a thriller, but some really interesting history as well. And what Brad Thor doesn't know about history, he makes up. (In full disclosure, he explains it all at the end of this book). This is a quick read. Not because it's simple, but because you wlll stay up late to find out what's going on. This series has been a fun ride since The Lions of Lucerne, and continues rolling right along.
Brad Thor is one of the most exciting authors out there today, his books not only serve as edge of your seat entertainment but also educates you on real world problems from the perspective of those on the front lines fighting for our way of life. Trust me when I say once you pick up Brad Thor you'll want to read the whole set in one sitting. Enjoy
fun story. enjoyed the book
Excellent, thank you!
This book is a must read for all the Scott Harvath fans. It is a very good thriller with a lot of action. I recommend this book to all Brad Thor fans.
