Narration Toward Books Black List (Scot Harvath #12)
Somewhere deep inside the United States government is a closely guarded list. Members of Congress never get to see it—only the President and a secret team of advisers. Once your name is on the list, it doesn’t come off . . . until you’re dead.Someone has just added counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath’s name.
Somehow Harvath must evade the teams dispatched to kill him long enough to untangle who has targeted him and why they want him out of the way.
Somewhere, someone, somehow can put all the pieces together. The only question is, will Harvath get to that person before the United States suffers the most withering terrorist attack ever conceived?

In the Black List, Harvath deals with domestic threat and government data collection. I find it exciting when Reed Carlton and his mentor did their old school spy thing.Although I really, really do enjoy reading Brad Thor's thrillers, they can get a bit ponderous when he takes off on several pages of ranting about one or more of the issues that are near and dear to his heart. Here, for instance, it is the potential for government misuse of personal information that's being collected as a result of ever-advancing technology: cell phones, social media websites, security cameras in retail establishments and such. But unlike the last few books, his message came

Brad Thor's premiere protagonist Scott Harvath has been one tough....uh, umm, fellow, in the America's fight against terrorism for some time, but sadly all good things must come to an end. A new president and a new administration has decided to cut costs by cutting back on America's intelligence resources. No problem. Scott has....marketable skills so he's now in the private sector. Still opposing terrorism but now for a private company. Unfortunately government "mismanagement" and....slight
3.5 to 4 stars (if Goodreads allowed half stars, I would have gone 3.5)I am kind of amazed that Brad Thor can write an entire book without too much ire thrown at the Middle East. While his usual target is Islamic extremists, this time the bad guys are a little closer to home. This is a good thing because the repetition of Muslim bad guys was getting a little old.All of that aside, this book was pretty entertaining. For those who enjoy political thrillers, Thor is is a great author to check out.
Brad Thor thinks big in this 2012 book about taking down the Internet. The prescient, large-scale plot (pre-Snowden) is reason enough to read this book. Thor combines expertise and action for a very readable novel.
