The Last Patriot

A very good page turning thriller

I liked this book a lot. Some of the reviews I’ve read said that one of the themes was steeped too much in a particular subject. There is so much to fear with those who are indoctrinated into the belief of infidels needing to die. While I may be incredibly naive, I just want to live in peace: domestically and abroad.Thor’s book shows that others - at least he — feel similarly.

HOW DOES HE DO IT? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS…NO THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY, BUT THOR DOES IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!, AND “THE LAST PATRIOT” IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE!“THE LAST APOSTLE IS ALREADY DOWNLOADED, WHICH I WILL START READING AS SOON AS I SEND THIS!

Book Review – “The Last Patriot” by Brad Thor was a great change of pace and very educational thriller on Islam. I love how Thor puts real snippets of history into his action thriller novels. It really makes for exciting reading. The historical information only lends a fascinating authenticity to the story and it sheds incredible light on current world issues. A really good thriller with solid writing and very interesting history points. Thor obviously did his homework especially with regards to technical details and weapons. It’s refreshing to see a book with so many law enforcement, military and special ops details that are right! Every time I start a Brad Thor thriller, I am sucked into a well written story that plays like a movie in my head. The details and research that he places into his books are amazing. The Last Patriot was Scot Harvath meeting the Da Vinci Code with non-stop action and plenty of interesting factual background concerning President Thomas Jefferson and his dealings with Muslims. Absolutely one of the best action thrillers I've ever read combining true US history and today's terroristic threats. The end notes by Thor were beneficial to stop my mind from wandering about ‘what if?” Great story and concept by Brad Thor. Although the overall story is fictional, the information regarding the Muslim faith and Islam was very educational. A must read in the Scot Harvath series.

THE LAST PATRIOT by Brad Thor could be classified as historical fiction. Former Navy SEAL and special ops Secret Service agent to the President, Scot Harvath, left his dangerous 15-year special ops life along with his ex-Navy girlfriend, Tracy Hastings. Tracy is in the process of recovering from serious wounds received from an exploding IED in Afghanistan where she had been an explosive demolition technician. Scot and Tracy are vacationing in Paris. While walking near a sidewalk café discussing their future and their new quiet life they witness a major terrorist attack. Scot, out of habit rushes to rescue an injured Anthony Nichols, a history professor at the University of Virginia who was thought by Harvath to be the subject of the attack. Scot does not want to get involved, he is happy with his new life, but Tracy convinces him of their responsibilities when they discover Nichols might have some sort of connection to the President. They soon learn that Professor Nichols is involved in researching the seventh century version of the Koran where it is thought that the Prophet Mohammed enlightened his disciples with the “lost revelation” a very different version of the Koran than exists today and one that could threaten the Muslim world as it exists today. In discussions with Nichols, Harvath is convinced that he has to find the Don Quixote. He learns that it might be in a rundown Mosque in a very dangerous section of Paris. In addition to the enjoyment of a well written novel, Brad Thor has provided us with an enlightened history of the Koran through almost 1400 years of Muslim ideology following the poisoning and death of Mohammed in 632 AD. Thor writes that in 1805, President Jefferson sent Army officer William Eaton with a contingent of Marines, Leathnecks, under Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon to attack Tripoli and put an end to Muslim pirating on the high seas—America’s very first military confrontation on foreign soil. Did Thomas Jefferson envision at that time a future threat to our nation from the Muslim world? I wonder. Through the written word, Brad Thor guides us through a fleeting history of events that bring us to the defense of our nation today. I believe this is Brad Thor’s finest novel. I heartedly recommend, The Last Patriot. I rate the book a strong 5-star success.

I liked the story, ie true history and fiction entwined. Fascinating. From even B.C. to now! And whilst reading: I really had to quickly check online a few things🙈😄, some familiar, some such as about the 3rd USA president I knew nothing about, as a Dutch person!In short: breathtaking!!🙏P.S. wrt Al-jazira, and I living in Turkey, checking him out: well: he came from the area between the Euphrat & Tigres: I did a lot of my own research about 15 years ago, where did pple come from, and *go*.. making it even more interesting reading this book.

This book is the no 7 in the series by BRAD THOR, total amount of books is 21 in all , SCOT HARVATH is themain good guy , ( Kind of like Jack Reacher )Plus the seller ( Glenthebookseller ) is top notch they ship out very fast , and I do mean fast,, I can not say enough good things about Glenthebookseller ,, Please if you can buy from them, through AMAZON, you will not go wrong , You have my word on it,

This story could explain why Muslims are the way they are when acting out in the world. It would be interesting to know if Jefferson had a good idea of the truth

I am on holiday and am racing through this series of books. I enjoy this genre and this book is no disappointment. I also enjoy the fact that, not for the first time in the series, I am moved to do research into some of the characters and historical information contained in the books and this is an added bonus. George Guidall does a sterling job with the narration. Exciting, informative if you do your reseach, and plenty of action.

Good in depth research mixed with real life and fictional circumstances, with a hint of Dan Brown's flair for history. Outstanding read.

I'm a big fan of all the Brad Thor books. Started reading them after I finished all the Vince Flynn books. Scot's different from Mitch Rapp, but similar sort of thing. Highly recommended!

as above, although, very similar to Vince Flynn's (R.I.P.) Mich Rapp series of books, ( not saying its a bad thing, but sorylines very similar, to the point you wonder which book your reading !!!), but all in all a very good one, I'm trying to read these in sequence,and so far the series is going well, but each book stands up on its own, so buying one of the later ones isnt such a disaster.Bob

Brad thor is carrying on in his usual way very good story line again . Fast pace right from the first page waiting for the next Scot Harvath story
