You don't want to be on the BLACK LIST

This thriller by Brad Thor places his protagonist, Scot Harvath, in the most serious situation. Someone has placed his name, as well as the names of the other members of the Carlton Group, on the Black List.  The black List is a super secret list in which the nation’s enemies have been marked for death for traitorous crimes against the United States.  

Scot finds himself out of contact with the other members of the Carlton group.  Indeed all of them are dead due to the actions of the kill teams which are relentlessly hunting them down.  The sole exception is the founder and director of the Carlton Group who finds himself in the same situation as Scot. 

Both men are alone and they face an unknown enemy who has a deadly plan to institute a virtual takeover of the United States. 

The book deals with these resourceful individuals and also Nicholas, also known as the Troll who uncovers some of the details of the plot orchestrated by the Advance Technology Solutions or ATS.

ATS is a massive organization which has endeared itself to the NSA and many other government agencies and mastered the art of complete surveillance of much of the United States.  Through the use of Department of Defense “wet’ teams, ATs is eliminating its potential enemies (such as the Carlton Group) before undertaking its bold plan to seize control of the US.
Mr. Thor has one a brilliant job of portraying the plot through the point of view of the key players, including the head of ATS.  He has wielded together an intricate resolution to the plot.

That interface is for the reader to find out.


 Five stars. Highly recommended. Brad Thor
