    <body><![CDATA[I liked Brad Thor's previous Scott Harvath books.  However, with this one, he threw in politics and it ruined everything (well, actually the action scenes were very lame compared to other books in the series).  The &quot;new President&quot; in the novel is obviously supposed to be Obama.  There was ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66954629">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Brad Thor is a fine writer that blends global politics, current events, and action-adventure into well written stories. This book takes on the Taliban kidnapping an American doctor in Afghanistan, a U.S. president who has secrets that can bring down his administration, and a former U.S. terrorist ex...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63651710">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Scot Harvath is called by the new President to rescue the kidnapped daughter/doctor of one of his main fundraisers on a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan.  The action part of the book is good, presenting a favorable view of the Afghani people, who like neither Al-Qaeda nor the Taliban.

    <body><![CDATA[The Apostle is more a 3.5 or 3.75 but it gets a 4 because Brad Thor is one of my favorite authors. What I liked: The setting Afghanistan, some of the minor characters (When is OZ getting his own series?) What I did not like: key supporting characters not even making cameo, the subplot with a Secret ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62635355">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I am enjoying the book, the premise is getting a little old - the President phones, and the hero sets out to save the world.  I anticipate a couple of twists coming up shortly - we'll see if it ratches up the interest level<br/><br/>There appears to be 2 seemingly unrelated stories here -...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78308836">more...</a>]]></body>

The whole section of the book with the Secret Service agent and her quest for the &quot;truth&quot; I thought took away from the main story line.  The action with Scot was enought to keep the book movin...]]></body>
