Choke Point is overflowing with international intrigue, explosive action and enough tension to make a bomb technician sweat. It’s Scot Harvath at his best as he engages in a deadly game of cat and mouse through Thailand with thousands of innocent lives and the established world order hanging in the balance. Brad Thor has once again crafted a top-notch thriller that is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. Simply put, this book absolutely rips.
A major terrorist bombing takes pace in Bangkok in what appears to be an attempt to destabilize the country. But who is behind the attack? It could be any number of bad actors – Islamic separatists, Cambodian forces, the Chinese or others. While the local intelligence service and law enforcement try to uncover who is pulling the strings, Scot Harvath and his team are tasked with the same mission. They team up with a local CIA agent to conduct their own investigation. Which goes kinetic quickly and raises more questions than answers. Until they get a partial print that suggests a former Navy SEAL turned explosives mercenary is involved. Bringing another level of complication into an already fraught situation.
This may be the twenty-fifth edition in the Scot Harvath series, but it feels fresh and delivers the goods. Harvath is back out in the field with his team and on the hunt. A major attack has already happened so he’s playing from behind and dodging curveballs while trying to get a handle on who’s executing and masterminding these deadly events. All while having to piece together how different factions are involved, where identifying friend vs foe is not black and white. Which puts Harvath’s skills as an operator, a leader and an investigator to the test with no time to spare. Spiking the intensity meter all the way to the danger zone and never letting up for a second. Creating a barnburner of a story that remains at full throttle from the first page to the last. Reminding readers why Brad Thor is still one of the very best in the genre.
