The Last Patriot (Scot Harvath #7)

The Last Patriot is the seventh book in Brad Thor's Scot Harvath series.

Scot Harvath is an ex-Navy SEAL, former member of the presidential detail of the Secret Service and now a covert operative who works directly for the president - or he did until the last book, when someone he loves was shot by a terrorist who the president refused to let him go after.

Now Scot and his girlfriend are on vacation in Europe, generally avoiding the US President so he cannot give Scot a new assignment.

When they are leaving a Paris cafe, Harvath notices a man behaving suspiciously. He acts just in time to save one man from a car bomb. Now he and Tracy are caught up in a plot to stop the discovery of an ancient manuscript that could change the face of Islam.

Including history on Thomas Jefferson and Miguel de Cervantes, Thor explores the original encounters between the US government and Islam and follows the story to today.
