Amazon.com Review
In this incredibly fast-paced thriller, a conspiracy hatched close to the Oval Office results in the kidnapping of the president and the slaughter of a company of Secret Service agents commanded by ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. The story careers from the ski slopes of Utah to the top of Switzerland's Mount Pilatus and sets Scot on an impossible mission: recover the president, evade renegade Swiss spy Gerhard Miner and his cadre of trained agents, and elude the American conspirators who are hot on his trail. Framed for murder, his reputation in tatters, his former colleagues turned against him, Harvath finds an unlikely ally in a beautiful Swiss prosecutor who's been checkmated by Miner once too often. Together they play a high-stakes game of mixed "doubles" to save the president and uncover the conspiracy. Brad Thor's debut novel is a tightly wound spy tale that makes up in excitement what it lacks in subtlety and character development. Ludlum fans will love it. --Jane Adams
Product Description
On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the President of the United States has been kidnapped and his Secret Service detail massacred. Only one agent has survived -- ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn't buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge. But now, framed for murder by a sinister cabal, Harvath takes his fight to the towering mountains of Switzerland -- and joins forces with beautiful Claudia Mueller of the Swiss Federal Attorney's Office. Together they must brave the subzero temperatures and sheer heights of treacherous Mount Pilatus -- where their only chance for survival lies inside the den of the most lethal team of professional killers the world has ever known....

 The Lions Of Lucerne August 20, 2004

I have been a Robert Ludlum ( Jason Bourne Series ), Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Dan Brown fan for years. I place Brad Thor on an equal to these authors. He has created the character of Scott Harvath that compares to Jason Bourne, and Mr. Clark. I found the book to be well written, and fast-paced, the type of book I didn't want to put down for a minute.
Excellent Book! He's No Tom Clancy....He's better! January 16, 2004

An excellent book! Keeps you guessing, great description of Europe. I'd say this is probably one of the best new young authors I've read in a very long time. I've heard Thor described as an early Ludlum and I think that's a pretty fair statement. If you are looking for technical data to get lost in and very, very cliched characters then go read Clancy, but if you want a BELIEVABLE story, with enough details to make it interesting yet doesn't read like a technical manual or a story from a highschooler then go read this book! All I can say I can't wait to read the newest book.

"The Lions of Lucerne" is a good, old-fashioned thriller that keeps you turning the pages to find out what's next. Lots of good twists and turns. Looking forward to Mr. Thor's next novel.

This is a great book and I couldn't put this book down. You should read this book if you love any book that involves the FBI or the Secret Service.
