Last fall, we reported that Warner Bros. had acquired the rights to Brad Thor's series of thrillers featuring ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. Today we're learning that the fifth book in the series, Takedown, will be the first adapted for film. Ryan Craig will write the screenplay.
The book is set on a 4th of July weekend in New York City. As thousands of holiday travelers make their way out of Manhattan, a flawlessly executed terrorist attack plunges the city into a maelstrom of panic and death. Amidst the chaos, an elite team of foreign soldiers is systematically searching for one of their own, a man so powerful that the U.S. government refuses to admit he even exists and will do anything to keep him hidden.
Now, with the world’s deadliest enemy upon America’s doorstep, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must fight his way through the burning city streets to take down an invisible terrorist mastermind with the means to unleash hell on a global scale.
