On July 23, Scot Harvath returns to action in Shadow of Doubt, the next must-read thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor.
Shadow of Doubt, Thor’s twenty-third book in his mega-popular franchise (and twenty-fourth book overall, including 2010’s The Athena Project), is set after the events of Dead Fall (2023), which saw Harvath head to Ukraine in search of a rogue Russian kill team, tasked with settling the score after multiple American aid workers were killed in cold blood. This time around, a deadly plot to collapse the United States has been uncovered, and once again, it’s up to former Navy SEAL turned counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath to save the day.
A sure bet to be one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters, Book Spy readers are getting an early sneak peek at Thor’s next novel, which is currently available for pre-order in hardcover, e-book, and audiobook everywhere books are sold. Keep scrolling to read the prologue to Shadow of Doubt below and to see a couple of videos, including the finished audio recording of the prologue and a separate video of Thor’s longtime narrator, Armand Schultz, performing the opening chapter in-studio.
“There’s nothing more exciting than sharing a piece of my work for the first time,” said Thor in an exclusive statement, “and there is nowhere I’d rather share this first glimpse of Shadow of Doubt than with The Real Book Spy and his readers. Enjoy.”
