Following the path forged by names like Flemming, le Carre, Ludlum, and Clancy, Thor showed the publishing world that readers were hungry for more headline-beating, action-packed, up-all-night, can’t-put-’em-down thrillers. Right from the get-go, it was clear that Harvath was unique-and not only because he spells his name with one T. Originally published in 2002 by Pocket Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Thor’s first book introduced the world to former Navy SEAL turned secret service agent (and eventually the nation’s top counterterrorism operative) Scot Harvath. First up is Landon Beach, author of the Great Lakes Saga, who chose to review #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor’s iconic debut, The Lions of Lucerne. The following is part of a new segment on The Real Book Spy where various authors will provide guest reviews, covering some of the genre’s biggest hits over the last fifty years.
