Brad Thor takes on Russian moles, mysterious cargos directed by state of the art Russian fighter jets, and Russian defectors, all with Scot Harvath at the helm to steer the ship through dangerous waters.
Harvath is recuperating from his battles in Ukraine when he’s pulled in by a CIA Station Chief in Norway to spy on a Russian defector being debriefed by Harvath’s fiancée. The powers that be wish to know about what mysterious cargo Russia’s smuggling and where it’s going. Ringing alarm bells all the way to the White House. Stuck between damaging his relationship with his fiancée and serving his country, Harvath must navigate the corners like a spymaster as he races with his team to put a stop to Russia’s attempts for a global power grab.
Brad Thor has an eerie sense for predicting conflicts and situations second to none other. His narrative feels less like fiction and more like a slightly dramatized telling of real events that just haven’t happened yet. Not only does that make Shadow of Doubt a compelling read but also a highly enjoyable one with hardcore action and a riveting plot. Not only does the narrative allow for Harvath’s growth as an operator, a spy, and a soon-to-be family man again, but it emphasizes the focus on characters as the driving force of the action and drama. That’s on top of the structured and superbly researched cutting-edge military strategies, technology, and weaponry that help Shadow of Doubt and all Scot Harvath stories stand out as top-notch spy/military action thrillers.
Shadow of Doubt is an audacious action-packed story that feels too close to reality for comfort and that’s where Brad Thor shines the brightest. Harvath continues to entertain as a formidable leading force against the tyranny of evil and I can’t wait to read where Thor takes Harvath next in his missions.
