by Brad Thor
I decided to re-read one of the books that I guess you would call bro-mance books. Spy thrillers were the All-American hero can't be slowed down or killed. Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath escapes avalanches, numerous concussions, gun battles, freezing water and saves our democracy and gets the gi...

Often seems more like a travelogue that a realistic painting of the sce...
