Brad Thor

You know, one of the things that's fun about international thrillers is you get to go to landscapes that you wouldn't necessarily.

And I find, you know, that I'm not a fan of reading with my phone, but I do find that actually looking up, you know, that I once had to call Brad Thor.

I thought I was going to call him on the fact that somebody in Russia walked to Norway without passing any borders in order to go shopping or something.

And then I realized that in point of fact, Norway actually does arch over the top of Sweden and Finland and you can walk from Russia into Norway.

And Transfer of Power, I think, was, I read that and I was hooked.

I was in the series and it was Vince Flynn and Brad Thor and onto these guys, right? So that's a special place in my heart.

A book that I've loved since I was a kid is The Count of Monte Cristo.

I feel like it's done really well.

It sounds pretty crazy.

You know, and it's one of those things that like Brad Thor does this, too.

You know,

And so she did say, I've closed cases and I've seen cases get closed on the thinnest of connections that nobody would believe.

A perfect example of this is The Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor.

It features Scot Harvath.

He is an ex-Navy SEAL who has transitioned into a role as a highly specialized Secret Service agent.

I've got one where, um, one of the, you know, this, uh, this is an observation for, uh, for, for Paul.

Um, I put these videos out and then everybody goes, "Yeah, so, so who's Charles?" Uh, and so I like, okay, if you're gonna be that way about it, how about me comparing my book to Brad Thor's book? And, you know, the, uh, um, you, you pick on people that have got, uh, they're in the same genre, they've got, uh, you know, uh, you know, e- excellent, uh, name recognition, and you compare the, uh, use the video to compare the two.

Do it.

And, uh-

Okay.

What did Brad Thor say about you representing his book in your video, Charles? I have to know.

Um, it's curious.

Or my old rule, never write about Iran.

Which is really, Brad Thor got caught up in that.

He called me once and said, I think I broke your rule.

And now, if you were writing a book about Iran now, that would all be in there.
