Brad Thor and Ward Larsen write a high-stakes adventure in this freezing cold action-packed thriller.
Hemisphere Airlines Flight 777 is transporting a prototype for upsetting the world power with just a few keystrokes. With all eyes on this piece of tech, there’s no time for chances. When the jetliner is brought down by sabotage in the icy barren wasteland of the North Pole, the ball falls to C.I.A. operative Kasey Sheridan and First Officer Brett Sharpe to navigate their predicaments while trying to keep the prototype from falling into the hands of other nations highly interested in getting their hands on this dangerous piece of tech.
Cold Zero has a special place on my shelves because it doesn’t shy away from being adventurous. You’ve got plane crashes, frigid temperatures, colliding submarines, high technology, and an unyielding race against time for survival where no one side can truly be trusted, all blended together to present a strong contender for the most memorable and fun-filled book of the year. Where Thor and Larsen shine together the most is having all of these elements work together in a way that feels plausible and pulse-pounding. It’s out there, but not so much that you believe it can’t happen at all. Crazier things have happened. The emphasis on developing Sheridan and Sharpe as relatable and authentic characters who give you a sense of inspiration for trying to beat such harsh odds compels you to read past your snack-time at work. It’s dangerous, but worth it.
If you like the political intrigue of Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath books and Ward Larsen’s espionage, David Slaton series, you’re going to love Cold Zero. It’s the start of what I hope is a long running series and collaboration between two maestros of the thrillerverse.
