#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor brings readers his darkest and most intriguing thriller yet—a terrifying story of espionage and betrayal—brilliantly paced with superb nonstop action.
Born in the shadows and kept from heads of state, there are some missions so deadly, so sensitive, that they simply don’t exist.
When one such mission goes horribly wrong, a wave of dramatic terrorist attacks is set in motion. Their goal: the complete and total collapse of the United States.
With the CIA’s intelligence abilities hobbled, former Navy SEAL Team 6 member turned covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath launches an audacious plan to infiltrate the terrorists’ network and prevent one of the biggest threats the United States has ever faced.
Simultaneously, a foreign wet work team has been sent to California. Their target: one of Hollywood’s most famous filmmakers.
While working on a secret documentary project, movie producer Larry Salomon has unknowingly exposed one of the world’s wealthiest and most politically connected powerbrokers—a man with a radical anti-American agenda poised to plunge the nation into deadly, irreversible chaos.
As the plots rocket to their pulse-pounding conclusion and the identities of the perpetrators are laid stunningly bare, Harvath will be left with only one means to save America. Unable to trust anyone, he will be forced to go Full Black.
Intense and frighteningly realistic, FULL BLACK is, hands down, Brad Thor’s most riveting thriller to date.
An American intelligence mission has gone wrong, so terribly wrong in fact that it has not only crippled the CIA, but also unleashed a tsunami of terrorist attacks. To squash this massive offensive, former Navy SEAL, now covert op Scot Harvath must first identify the culprits, then neutralize them. Brad Thor's tenth thriller rushes forward to an action-packed conclusion. Now in mass-market paperback and NOOK Book.

“There is enough adrenaline-charged adventure to fill several books of its length —- with explosions, mayhem and karate.” —BookReporter.com

Please keep in mind that the price of the book is not set by the author. It is unfair to give a book poor reviews based on something that has nothing to do with the book itself. If you don't like the book, write a review. If you don't like the price, write the company!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.The attacks on Americans abroad and on home soil have the CIA and HSD struggling to react. Intelligence strongly confirms a bigger terrorist assault is coming. While working on a secret documentary, movie producer Larry Salomon exposes an affluent anti-American. An apparent Russian wet team arrives in California to silence the producer leaving three dead and the movie maker alive only due to former Delta operative technical consultant Luke Ralston.
Near Uppsalla, Sweden, covert counterterrorism agent Scot Harvath and his team begin a measure to infiltrate a nasty terrorist network while trusting no one in the Intel community. Thus he and his squad go Full Black starting with the capture of computer guru Mansoor Aleem, the nephew of Jihad Mufti, on his way to meet with a cell run by Mustafa Karami and replace him with Sean Chase. While the attacks intensify, time is running out
This exciting action-packed thriller has its first death on page one and never looks back as the action in Sweden and Hollywood expands to other locales with death counts rising rapidly. The story line is fast-paced from that opening sequence in which Horvath breaks the neck of a terrorist and accelerates from there as the field operatives try to prevent full implementation of Project Green Ramp. Full Black is an exciting tale that showcases how vulnerable Europe and America remains to terrorism.

People, before you buy the e-reader, do your homework. Check out what it will cost you to buy books before you buy the device. Part of being 'tech-savvy' is knowing the cost ahead of time. The only person you have to blame for not realizing what it will cost to buy books on the device is yourself. Stop whining about the cost. Stop giving an otherwise excellent author bad reviews.
No, they're not cheap, but saving a buck or two over the hard back price, and saving the gas money IS worth it. Also, you should check out the periodicals, some of those prices are unbelievable savings. Most of the people whining about price are probably ignorant of ALL of the benefits of the Nook devices.
Do your homework, then enjoy the ride of a great read!!!

Stop harping on why the e-books cost so much. If it's too much, don't buy it. I don't see you complaining when you're sitting at a B&N store reading books and magazines for free, thus the book or magazine are no longer in pristine condition so now they can't even sell it. It's people like you that will ultimately cause these stores to shutdown and stick to selling things online. There are other reasons why people may purchase e-books, maybe they don't have the real estate to house all the physical books?

I am appealing to B&N not to print the moronic reviews that complain about the price of e-books. This unfairly impacts the overall ratings. Scott Harvath is a great author and this is a great book. Kindle and Nook prices are the same, and are not set by the Author. I have a Kindle and I love it. I bought if for the convenience of not having to lug books around. If you don't like the price go to the library and get it for free.

Quit paying attention to the people complaining about the Nook prices - its the same price everywhere! And its worth every penny. The action packed Harvath series makes you think with every book. And with Full Black, I did find myself googling a lot!
I've watched Scot grow as a character and Thor grow as an expert in his craft. The action sequences are amazing and the story is phenomenal. Definitely a recommended book and recommended author! Can't wait for the next book! Well done!

Quit writing about the price of the books in these reviews. Also, if you happen to look at Amazon, they are charging the SAME PRICE for this ebook. If it's too expensive for you, wait until it is cheaper....

Don't pay attention to the morons complaining about price. These Brad Thor books are worth every penny. I've bought the last nine as soon as they were released in hardback and spent 25 bucks apiece for them. I was just telling my wife how excited I was to have a nook and be able to get it for half the price. If you don't like the price and haven't read the other nine, go through those and wait for the price to drop (or quit whining and pay the 12 bucks and enjoy, if $12 is that big of a deal to you, maybe have bigger things to worry about than buying another book).

It is really getting tiresome to hear people complain about the cost of e-books. The bottom line is the e-books were cheaper when they were first introduced in order to get people to read and buy e-books. Now that e-books are pretty much established, the e-books have gone up to regular price. Don't blame the author for the price of the e-books. The book publishers and stores are in business just like everyone else to make a profit. It you don't like the cost of the e-book,then don't buy them. Stick to the physical books instead.

Perhaps Brad Thor is to Glenn Beck as Mark Twain is to Samuel Clemens. It's worth investigating. Thor's "Full Black" is perfect for any readers in search of a rabid right-wingnut manifesto with a thriller mixed in. The novel's antagonist, James Standing, matches every Liberal stereotype so perfectly he single-handedly personifies all of the hyper-bogeymen pointed to by the likes of 'FOX and Friends' personalities. The former's credibility is deserving of the same level of consideration as the latter's. As an example, Standing is interviewed by an amazingly beautiful reporter (Cliché, anyone?) who extols the virtues of capitalism with a fervor that is matched only by the bogeyman's love of socialism and [of course] hatred of America. The entire interview is an idealogue's dream and a target of derision for those capable of discerning sh-t from Shinola. Intellectual [sic] exchanges of similar worth can be found on thousands of two-bit message boards throughout the internet. In short, Brad Thor's "Full Black" is crafted around an incredibly improbable Bad Guy who is so far removed from any sane person's perception of reality that the novel's premise falls apart at even the slightest nudge of critical thought. Take all the above, add a generous dash of Islamophobia, toss in hero Harvath's perennial loneliness and perpetual horniness, and stir. What you'll get is an incredibly incredible paranoid right-winger graphic novel . . . without the luxury of graphics. Somewhere, Glenn Beck is smiling. No, you can't get your money back.

With a quick-moving plot and action that will keep you unable to put this book down, you'll find yourself so caught up in this book you'll unwittingly become a part of it.
A combination of mystery and thriller this book goes into a subject we often ask ourselves. What is the government hiding? Readers that enjoy this type of novel will love it and those that don't will find themselves compelled to read it anyway!
You will definitely not want to miss out on this novel!

Thor does not let you down. This is a great book in the latest Scot Harvath series. The action comes straight out of today's headlines.

Brad Thor created an very interesting character in Scot Horvath. However, in each succeeding book in the series, the writing has become increasingly ideological in terms of expounding on the standard right wing complaints about everything that is wrong with the American political system. The shades of grey have disappeared into simple black and white in terms of who is right and who is wrong. In this book almost the entire first half is taken up with the exposition of everything that is wrong with America. It is only the last third where the writing becomes interesting and the reader is enveloped by the actual story. Unfortunately, Mr. Thor seems to be following the path of Tom Clancy, whose books I stopped reading because of his ideological rants.
