On July 1, 2025, Scot Harvath returns to action in Edge of Honor, the latest novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor.

Harvath, a former Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent turner counterterrorist operative, was first introduced in Thor’s 2002 debut novel, The Lions of Lucerne, a book that is widely considered one of the best first novels the genre has ever seen. Since then, Harvath has gone on to star in twenty-three novels to date, including this year’s Shadow of Doubt, one of the year’s best titles, and some of Thor’s finest work to date. Scot also had a cameo in Thor’s The Athena Project (2010), which featured an all-female team of Delta Force operators and served as a spinoff of Thor’s flagship franchise.

Now, Harvath will return for his twenty-fourth adventure, and while we don’t know any official details yet, it’s a safe bet to assume there will be a ton of action to go with a story that’ll feel ripped straight from the headlines.
