Warning: Plot Spoiler
Brad Thor’s “The Last Patriot” is a taught thriller that mixes history, modern politics, religion, and international espionage.
Scott Harvath, a former SEAL and Secret Service Agent turned Homeland Security covert, becomes embroiled with a plot regarding Islam and the Prophet Mohammed’s final revelation. Set in the War on Terror, the American’s want the prophet’s final revelation exposed. The president launches an attempt to get hold of a rare Cervantes thought to contain encoded information. On the heels of Harvath, the militants do all within their power to stop the lost revelation from ever seeing the light of day. With the help of a convert American assassin known as Dodd, the militant Muslims chase Harvath and force him to utilize his myriad skills and weaponry (Anyone that knows firearms will recognize Harvath’s tools as anything but fiction).
The final chapters of this latest novel from the New York Times Best-selling author offer a satisfying thread involving Thomas Jefferson, his American properties (Monticello and Polar Forest), and the Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast. Historic and architectural investigation leads to a hidden mechanism crafted by Al-Jazari -- a Golden Age of Islam inventor. The mechanism has encoded within its gears Mohammed’s final revelation; a revelation of peace. The denouement leaves you relieved that traitors die, and hopeful that militant Islam will collapse from within.
A recommended summer read!
