Is it a spoiler if I tell that the first chapters include a finale- type escape? ... you know the kind... in order to get on the plane which is already taxiing on the runway, the escapee must speed up to connect with the extended loaded pad about to be retracted... that scene. ..? After that event in Afghanistan, tracking assassins moves on to India, Pakistan, China, and Romania. Always glad to read updates on Nicholas, canines, and growing family.

Every summer I can’t wait for Brad Thor to release his latest book, I’d give this one 10 stars if I could…great story line, wonderful characters and I learn something from each of his books…sure wish Norseman would appear on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video like some other characters (Jack Ryan, James Reece, Bosch, etc.)

Thoroughly enjoyed the latest adventure of Scot Harvath. Love seeing strong, smart, savvy and sassy women characters. Thank you for honoring women.

Very exciting read and a new look at world affairs. Since so many of my computer science, engineering, and math professor where from India. I always felt there would come a day when the US and India would become closer. Using Scot Horvath this book postulates one way an alliance may occur.

I recently heard Brad Thor describe his novels as “faction,” a portmanteau of fact and fiction. Rising Tiger begins with a factual battle between Chinese and Indian forces in the Galwan Valley of the western Himalayas, where China and India maintain a tense border. Thor ties the battle to China’s long-term Belt and Road initiative, started in 2013, the design of which is to strengthen China’s economic and military hegemony in that part of Asia. The fictional part of Rising Tiger is everything else. It begins with the assassination of Eli Ritter, an American working deep under cover in India to form an Asian version of NATO—consisting of Australia, India, Japan, and the U.S.—to counter China’s rising threat. When Ritter is assassinated, the U.S. employs the Carlton Group, a security firm with deep ties to U.S. intelligence and military, to find and eliminate his killer. And the tip of this very sharp spear is Scott Harvath, former Navy Seal, now lead operator of the Carlton Group. As Harvath investigates Ritter’s death, his path crosses with Asha Patel’s, an Indian intelligence officer investigating a suspicious helicopter crash involving key Indian military personnel. They discover that China is behind both acts and join forces. The only question is whether they will get to the Chinese spies behind these attacks before those spies get to them. Rising Tiger is Brad Thor’s 21st novel featuring Scott Harvath, but the first I have read. I decided to read it after hearing John J. Miller interview Thor for National Review’s Bookmonger podcast. I read it on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It was a very entertaining read, and I plan to check out Thor’s other books from the library.
