Scott Harvath awakens onboard a Russian airplane surrounded by mercenaries.  He awakens that several of his friends were murdered when he was kidnapped.  The plane crashes shortly after he awakes and he begins a mission of revenge and escape.  He knows who is responsible for the murder and kidnapping.  He has crash landed in Russia near the Finnish border. Scavenging through the wreckage of the plane he finds supplies and clothing to help him escape.  Meanwhile back in the U.S.A.  his friends and colleagues are mobilizing to rescue him.  They must do so without the citizens of the United States or the Russian Government know that they are aware of where he is and what is happening.
An exciting adventure that has all the earmarks of a great Brad Thor story.  It will be interesting to see where he goes from here since so many of the supporting characters are gone.  

10/10
