Summary
In a daring and chilling debut, Brad Thor draws us into a sinister labyrinth of political intrigue and international terrorism, serving up an explosive cocktail of unrelenting action as one man is pushed to the edge.
On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the unthinkable has just become a nightmarish reality: 30 Secret Service agents have been viciously executed and the vacationing president of the United States kidnapped by one of the most lethal terrorist organizations in the Middle East - the Fatah Revolutionary Council.
But surviving agent and ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath doesn't believe the Fatah Revolutionary Council is responsible for the attack. Driven by his professional code of duty and honor, Harvath creates his own rules to get some answers. But his search for the truth raises the blood pressure of his superiors...and casts his own life in mortal jeopardy. The deadly machinations have been set in motion by a shadowy coalition, comprising some of the highest-ranking officials in government and business - men who operate above the law, men who realize the threat Harvath poses to their hidden agenda...men who will do anything to stop him.
Framed for murder and on the run, Harvath takes his own brand of justice to the towering mountains of Switzerland where he finds an improbable ally in the beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney's Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus - and enter the den of the most notorious team of professional killers the world has ever known.

Pure James Bond
Really enjoyed this boom - total page turner so to speak. Only slight frustration was that the narrator didn’t match the pace and urgency of the action with his own pace and so what were gripping moments felt held up by his delivery.
Still goi f to listen to the rest of Brad Thor’s books though so it wasn’t poor enough to spoil a great listen.

Interesting twist of a Potus kidnap
Scott is a strong character who you get to like quickly. The other "players" are written well. I enjoyed the fact that things went wrong as the book progressed and the handling of apparent mistakes. Gave it a realism that was good. Satisfying end.

Brad Thor brings us to our world as it really is
If you could sum up The Lions of Lucerne in three words, what would they be?
Best thriller yet
What did you like best about this story?
This is the world today. It can happen in a flash and we are at war with the Jihadists that want to kill all the infidels. That includes the whole of America.
They are bringing the war to us and we have to destroy these evil people.
I quote Edmund Burke, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing! "
It is time to strike back we need more men like Scott Horvath to keep The USA safe.
Which character – as performed by Armand Schultz – was your favourite?
Scott Horvath
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Once begun it's a captivating story that you can't put down. I finished it in less than a week.
Any additional comments?
We need people to know that what Brad Thor writes is the truth about the world we live in.
Just look around, Paris, Isis in the USA carrying out Lone Wolfe attacks. Unfortunately there are more to come and Brad Thor hits it right on the head of the nail.
We need to listen what the author writes about, it is more fact than fiction.

There is better out there....
The story is acceptable, but the dialogue is often atrociously poor. I don't enjoy criticising writers because I know the amount of effort that goes into writing a book, but there are so many books out there that are far more worthy than this. I stuck with it simply to get to the end while too often groaning at the simplistic and inappropriate dialogue. I won't be looking for Mr. Thor's next book.

It was ok.
I will probably check out later Thor titles at a later date. This one was a bit slow and hard to get into, initially.
