About This Audiobook

Act of War places Scot Harvath at the center of a multilayered threat against the United States, where seemingly unrelated events, deaths, disappearances, and suspicious encounters begin to connect toward something catastrophic. Thor constructs his most ambitious plot to this point, asking whether Harvath can execute two simultaneous covert operations in time to prevent an attack designed to exploit the country's vulnerabilities from the inside.

Armand Schultz has been the voice of Scot Harvath since early in the series and brings a grounded intensity to the character that matches Thor's vision of a man who operates at the edge of what is legally and physically possible. The novel's multiple-front structure suits audio's ability to hold parallel storylines, and Schultz's pacing through the thriller's accelerating final sequences is controlled and precise.
