Foreign Influence: A Thriller (Scot Harvath) Review
This fast paced thriller is most believable and looking at the newspapter headlines, presents a frightening scenario.
Counter terrorism operative, Scot Horvath lost his regular position when the new President came into office. Now Scot works for a new secret agency that is buried deep within the Department of Defense and isn't burdened with answering to self-serving politicians.
Scot is asked to go after a man who had helped him in the past. The man is known as The Troll and is accused of being the mastermind behind the bombing of a bus filled with college students in Rome.
Elsewhere, a cab runs down Alison Taylor in Chicago. Alison had gone out drinking with friends after work. The cab driver left the scene and Alison was brought to the hosptial with a severe brain injury. When Alison's family doesn't get any results from the police investigation, they hire a former Marine, John Vaughan, to see if he can find the cab driver.
With the action moving back and forth between the two situations, we learn that Scot is under the belief that The Troll was set up. He wants to catch the terrorist and punish them. With The Troll's help, they prove who was the real mastermind and then learn that there is a terrorist organization planning two more strikes in Europe after which they will bring their murderous ways to the United States.
Back in Chicago, Vaughan teams up with Paul Davidson, who is in the Public Vehicles division. They force the mechanic who repaired the cab driver's car, to tell them who the driver is. Then they go to the cab driver's home where they miss the driver but do find bomb making material. They realize they are dealing with an undercover terrorist scheme and wonder what they can do to stop it.
The two cases come together with excellent action and suspense. Scot Horvath continues to be an enjoyable hero. He stops at nothing to get his man and is brave, patriotic and uses whatever means necessary to get answers and stop the terrorists.

Foreign Influence: A Thriller (Scot Harvath) Overview
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Navy SEAL turned covert operative Scot Harvath is called to action once again in Brad Thor’s hottest political thriller yet.
Buried within the black ops budgets of the Department of Defense, a new spy agency has been created. Unfettered by the oversight of self-serving politicians, it reports only to a secret panel of military insiders. Its job is to target America’s enemies - both foreign and domestic - under a charter of three simple words: Find, Fix, and Finish.
Recruited as a field operative, Scot Harvath has just returned from his first assignment abroad when a bombing in Rome kills a group of American college students. The evidence points to a dangerous colleague from Harvath’s past and a plan for further attacks on an unimaginable scale.
Harvath is tasked with leveraging his relationship to lure the man out of hiding and kill him on the spot. But what if it is the wrong man?
Simultaneously, a young woman is struck by a taxi in a hit-and-run in Chicago. With only two intoxicated witnesses and over five thousand cabs in the city, the Chicago Police have given up on their investigation. But when the family’s attorney digs deeper, he will uncover a shocking connection to the bombing in Rome and the perpetrators’ plans for America.
As the story rockets to its conclusion, the plots intersect in a race to prevent one of the most audacious and unthinkable acts of war in the history of mankind.
