When the president is kidnapped during his ski holiday in Colorado, disavowed Secret Service Agent Scott Harvath is his only hope of rescue.
Tracking the kidnapper to Switzerland, and with the ambitious Claudia Muehler of the Swiss Federal Attorney's Office to assist him, the pair are forced to go it alone as they realise the kidnapping plot reaches some of the highest levels of the Swiss Intelligence community. In a race against time, they must scale the treacherous heights of Mt. Pilatus, uncover a hidden military fortress secreted beneath its peak, and defeat the formidable force that stands between them and the safe return of the president - the deadly men known as the Lions of Lucerne.
Look out for the adrenaline-fuelled new Brad Thor novel, Code of Conduct, published in July 2015!
Brad Thor's 'The Lions of Lucerne' offers a gripping narrative that intertwines historical intrigue with contemporary geopolitical tension. The meticulous research and attention to detail in the depiction of espionage and counter-terrorism operations are commendable. Thor's protagonist navigates a complex web of alliances and betrayals with a precision that mirrors the high-stakes world of international intelligence. The book's exploration of moral dilemmas and the human cost of covert operations resonates with my own experiences and values, making it a thought-provoking read.
