Product Description
After years without a terrorist attack on American soil, one group has picked the 4th of July weekend to pull out all the stops. In a perfectly executed attack, all of the bridges and tunnels leading into and out of Manhattan are destroyed just as thousands of commuters begin their holiday exodus. With domestic efforts focused on search and rescue, a deadly team of highly trained foreign soldiers methodically makes its way through the city with the singular objective of locating one of their own -- a man so powerful that America will do anything to keep him hidden.PScot Harvath is now the country's only hope. Fighting his way through the burning streets of Manhattan, he must mount his own operation to locate a man the United States government refuses to admit even exists.

 Takedown is a letdown October 29, 2008
Lonnie C. Pogue (San Diego, CA USA)

This has been one of the most disappointing adventures in reading that I can remember. Normally I would not bother to write a review, but this book was such a downer that a comment was needed. Why the author felt that any American would want to see our guys be out smarted, maneuvered and gunned by Muslim terrorists is beyond me. To my dismay I actually read to the end in hopes that some uplifting thing might happen. Only to have it jerked away on the last page.

If you liked "The Lions", you will love this book. Typical 'Thor', fast paced, keeps your interest. I can't wait for the next book from Brad thor.
 A Thriller From Start To Finish September 21, 2008

Takedown is a thriller from start to finish. It will keep readers on the edge of their seats for the whole ride. br / br /It features counterterrorist operative Scot Harvath who is a master at hunting down the bad guys and stopping more destruction. This novel was set around a horrific attack on New York City. The action ranged from Morocco to D.C. br / br /Fans of Thor will find this book to be much like his others: a page turner with non-stop action. There are also some characters that appear in some of his other work including 'The Troll'. br / br /If you have not read Thor before, do yourself a favor and read this one and several of his others. If you are already a Thor fan, you will experience another one of his great stories.
 enjoyable, but don't think too much August 12, 2008

The book was enjoyable for a summer read. Of course it's a one man army against the evil terrorists and everyone else is just backdrop. The worst thing about it was the killing of the girlfriend at the end, just plain stupid. I'm going to get back at you for trying to kill me by hunting you down across the ocean just to kill a woman you've known what, a week??? And leave you totally uninjurred?? Yeah that hurts!! So as long as you don't take it too seriously and don't think too much you can read it and enjoy it.
