"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with The Last Patriot

111. Title & Author: The Last Patriot by Brad Thor (480 pages)*
Genre: Fiction--Thriller
Completed: 15 August 2009

Summary & Review:
Counter-terrorism operative Scot Harvath is pulled back into his old life as he stumbles into a centuries old battle while on a vacation in Paris. After saving a man from a car-bomb, Harvath learns that the man is working directly for the president to find and reveal Mohammed's last revelation--a revelation that could potentially end radical Islam. Unfortunately, men will kill to keep the revelation hidden.

I'm not going to lie, now that I am going to USC and the fact that Thor is a USC alum, I liked the book even better. Gotta support those fellow Trojans. Besides that though, the plot was interesting and it was well paced throughout the book. But, I did think the ending was a little weak and unfulfilling.
