The Athena Project by Brad Thor is the first book in a spin off series from his Scot Harvath series.The Athena group is a part of Delta Force - the main difference between the typical Delta Force team and Athena is that Athena is make up entirely of women. Instead of recruiting women from the armed forces, the creators of Athena looked to extreme sports to find women in top physical shape who could be turned into elite fighting teams.
The Athena group in this made up of Gretchen Casey, Julie Ericsson, Megan Rhodes and Alex Cooper. And this team is sent into situations where male soldiers would be too obvious.
In their first book, the group has to find its way into the home of a known arms dealer, kidnap him and get away form his full team of bodyguards. But that is only the beginning.
The women of the Athena Project are just a tough as Thor's previous character Scot Harvath. In fact, as part of the same overall terrorist fighting agency, they will be working together from time to time.
Fans of military fiction, full adrenaline novels, espionage, and international political intrigue will love this new series - and impatiently await the next installment.
