Brad Thor on his New Book Choke Point – Epi-3854
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:24:50 — 24.3MB)
Brad Thor joins us today to discuss his new Scot Harvath thriller, Choke Point. Brad is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty six thrillers, with a career built on taking real world threats, intelligence failures, terrorism, geopolitics and national security blind spots, then turning them into fiction that feels a little too close to tomorrow’s headlines.
This is not just a conversation about a new book. Brad has served as a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Analytic Red Cell Unit, lectured law enforcement on future threats, and even shadowed a Black Ops team in Afghanistan while researching The Apostle. That gives him a very different perspective from someone just sitting at a desk making up bad guys.
We’ll talk about Choke Point, the return of Scot Harvath, the moral lines people face in a world where the enemy does not play fair, and why fiction can sometimes tell the truth in a way official briefings never will. We’ll also get into how Brad develops his ideas, what kind of network helps him stay informed, and what threats he sees coming that most Americans are still not paying attention to.
Many author interviews turn into a polished sales pitch for the latest book. That is not what we are doing today. Yes, we’ll talk about the book, but we’ll also talk about the world behind the book, why thrillers matter, what they can teach us, and why people who care about freedom, security, and the future of this nation should pay attention to writers like Brad Thor.

Spirko usually has good recommendations on most thing but when it comes to books, spirko, john and Nichol have they very worst book recommendation ( 3rd book I’ve tried). . I love audio books. I bought brad Thor’s first book. It was they most repulsive book I ever bought. It was full of gay stuff. Primary the book was a tally of every opulent thing the characters had. It was the most disgusting materialistic thing I’ve ever come across. In some survival books they list what gear the character has this did the same thing several magnitudes greater with opulent thing they had in the room. That why reviews are disabled on audible.
Books like music are personal and subjective. I have though never read anything “gay” as in woke in a Thor book and I have read almost 20 of them. Given the guy wrote 26 consecutive NYT best sellers, may be, just may be the issue is you?
