Read the Plot Details for Brad Thor’s ‘Edge of Honor’

Buckle up, because on July 1st, 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 counterterrorism 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 last year’s Shadow of Doubt, one of the 2024’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 fans should expect a ton of action to go with another plot ripped straight from the headlines.

Release Date: July 1st, 2025

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor returns with an exhilarating new Scot Harvath thriller.

After six months abroad, America’s top spy returns to a new administration, a new set of global priorities, and a power struggle—the likes of which the United States has never experienced.

Drawn into a web of deceit and deadly politics, Scot Harvath is thrust into a high-stakes conspiracy that could change the course of history. A cabal of shadowy elites is maneuvering for control and if they succeed, they will bring the country to its knees.

When trust is fleeting and survival means making impossible decisions, Harvath finds himself at the precipice. The actions he takes will shape the future of America—and might cost him everything he holds dear.

With enemies at every turn, one wrong move could push the nation over the edge.
