    <![CDATA[In this incredibly fast-paced thriller, a conspiracy hatched close to  the Oval Office results in the kidnapping of the president and the slaughter of  a company of Secret Service agents commanded by ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. The  story careers from the ski slopes of Utah to the top of Switzerland's Mount  Pilatus and sets Scot on an impossible mission: recover the president, evade  renegade Swiss spy Gerhard Miner and his cadre of trained agents, and elude the  American conspirators who are hot on his trail. Framed for murder, his  reputation in tatters, his former colleagues turned against him, Harvath finds  an unlikely ally in a beautiful Swiss prosecutor who's been checkmated by Miner  once too often. Together they play a high-stakes game of mixed &quot;doubles&quot; to save  the president and uncover the conspiracy. Brad Thor's debut novel is a tightly  wound spy tale that makes up in excitement what it lacks in subtlety and  character development. Ludlum fans will love it. <em>--Jane Adams</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[this was recommended to my by a friend who knew I like cussler-style adventurey books. this was a good read, albeit a bit predictable at times. the only negative was that the main character doesn't warrant our sympathies at times - but maybe I'm unfairly thinking of Pitt or a similar lead.]]></body>
