This is the first Brad Thor novel that I have read and it is also the first in the Scot Harvath series. A great action thriller! In this one, the president is kidnapped while on a skiing trip near Park City, Utah. Harvath, an ex-Navy Seal, is the head of the Secret Service detail who were to protect the president but while he was protecting the president's daughter, the rest of his team is eliminated and the president is captured. But how was this accomplished, who was responsible, where was the president taken? Harvath feels it is his duty to find out the answers but he finds himself implicated in the plot and must strike out on his own. He finds out that some U.S. Senators are involved in the plot and clues lead him to Switzerland and into the heart of the Lions' den. A real page-turner in the vain of Vince Flynn. I really enjoyed this one and will be reading others in the series.
