Brad Thor Collectors' Edition #1: The Lions of Lucerne / Path of the Assassin / State of the Union
A thrilling boxed set including The Lions of Lucerne, Path of the Assassin, and State of the Union, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor.
Both a must-have for any fan of Brad Thor and the perfect introduction to his masterful thrillers, this handsomely bound edition is one of four special Collector’s Editions, available now. Follow counterterrorism operative and ex-SEAL Scot Harvath’s action-packed exploits.
The Lions of Lucerne
On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the President of the United States has been kidnapped and his Secret Service detail massacred. Only one agent has survived: ex–Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn’t buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge. But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland—and joins forces with brilliant Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney’s Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus—where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known.
Path of the Assassin
After rescuing the president from kidnappers in Brad Thor’s roaring bestseller The Lions of Lucerne, Navy SEAL turned Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath shifts his attention to rooting out, capturing, or killing all those responsible for the plot. As he prepares to close out his list, a bloody and twisted trail of clues points toward one man—the world’s most ruthless terrorist. One problem remains: Harvath and his CIA-led team have no idea what the man looks like. With no alternative, they recruit a civilian—a woman who has survived a brutal hijacking and is now the only person who can positively identify their quarry. From the burning deserts of North Africa to the winding streets of Rome, Harvath must brave a maelstrom of bloodshed and deception before a madman’s twisted vision engulfs the world in the fires of all-out war.
State of the Union
America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees. Teamed with talented Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world—and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal enemy from the past.

Actually only read the 1st of these three... with State of the Union the next of Thor books that are currently available-to-me. Fantastic suspenseful read... love the political tie-in with memorable characters, both good and bad. Plowed through The Lions of Lucerne, my 1st venture into this (new to me!) writer's treasure chest! Am definitely a fan from hereon-in! Terrific story had my heart racing from beginning to end!

Lions odf Lucerne only the others are rated seperately

I gave this book three strikes before I stopped because it had such good reviews, but the line (only in chapter 2, I didn't get that far) "when he saw her photo he knew he had to have her" pushed it over the edge. Really? Trite, formulaic, full of predictable and horrible lines, (and characters) and apparently incredibly popular, so who am I to criticize?

Very Good Plots But a Bit Long
All three plots very good, good characters, but an all three a bit wordy — and some of it just “too much” to be credible… But fast reads and thoroughly enjoyable. And good caution for those people who think the world is “kind.”

Fantastic action thrillers. I have absolutely loved all of Brad Thor's books. Scot Harvath is the guy you want on your side. Great character. Easily worth the 5/5 Star Rating.

All so neatly tied together that it was not believable. Never made it past the Lions.

#1: The Lions of Lucerne I have just read this one for the first time and to say I am hooked on Brad Thor is mild. I have to keep asking my self how did I miss the guy? Scot Harvath sounds like my kind of person. He sets a goal and doesn't stop until it is completed. I really wouldn't like to cross him and make him mad
8-25-13 #2: Path of the Assassin Just as good as the first one. Again- how did I miss this guy? I really liked the major twist at the end. Revenge is cold dish to eat.
8-27-13 #3: State of the Union In this one Scott has to find out who he can trust to stop a nucalur holocaust. It very surprising who really does step forward to cover his back. I think I will back and pick others in the series. I am really enjoying Brad Thor and his character Scott Harvath.

Another good guy, an American spy who gets the bad guys all around the world. Similar to the Vince Flynn novels and the main character, Scott Hrvath, is similar to Mitch Rapp. However, while the stories are good, entertaining and decently written, they ain't no Vince Flynn. The plots are bit too simple and predictable, but it is still always fun to read how the American James Bond saves us time again, even if politics always comes into play to mess things up.

Very good
This was the first time I've read boo k s by Brad Thor. This collection of political thrillers was a joy to read. I found myself rushing things I had to do just to read what happens next. I recommend this collection to everyone who likes political thrillers.
