Warner Bros. Options Film Rights to The Athena Project by Brad Thor

Brad Thor initiates a new series of thrillers this month with the publication of The Athena Project featuring a group of women trained to combat terrorism.

Now, Deadline|New York is reporting that Warner Bros. has snapped up the film rights to the book, two weeks before its official publication date.

In the book, the world’s most elite counterterrorism unit has just taken its game to an entirely new level. And not a moment too soon ...

Just as skilled, just as fearsome, and just as deadly as their colleagues, Delta Force’s newest members have only one thing setting them apart—their gender. Part of a top-secret, all-female program codenamed "The Athena Project", four of Delta’s best and brightest women are about to undertake one of the nation’s deadliest assignments.
