The only good news for Scot Harvath is that the piece of junk aircraft in which the Russians are transporting their prize captive crashes. The Russian president has retained for himself the honor of executing him. Upon landing in Russia he is put on another plane heading to a special place where he is to be brutally tortured until they break him and then kill him. And because unless they stopped him he would continue to be one of the greatest threats they face.īut especially they want him their captive because he possesses incredibly invaluable knowledge they covet regarding America’s covert operations and network of spies - and they have ways of getting everything he knows out of him.

The Russians risked so much to capture him because for years he’s been such a dangerous nemesis possessing an astonishing skill for thwarting their military and intelligence operations. The hard-hitting former Navy Seal is, in effect, the president’s lethal secret weapon for espionage and counterterrorism. And they’ve whisked him away to Russia where they intend to greatly intensify the torture they began during the flight over. Scot Harvath is alive only because the Russians want him to be - for now. soil constitutes an act of war, but Russia is confident that the United States can’t prove it was them. Such an attack against American citizens on U.S. That attack was conducted by Russians acting on orders from the president of Russia. We also learn that the woman he loved and his colleagues were murdered at that secret spot the U.S. We could only sense something horrendous was about to happen - didn’t even know if he will live or die - and we’d remain in suspense waiting a year for “Backlash” before we’d learn full details.
