Canned tuna and powdered milk under the bed: Interview with Brad Thor
Way back in late February, you really brought the world first look at the bestselling author Brad Thor in the new thriller cover. And now, because I know that my sophisticated audience would never dare judge a book by its cover, I bring you the first interview with Brad Thor about his new book Takedown!
But first, let me to come clean: I am a big fan of Brad Thor previous books, but again I'm biased, because I am American, and does terrorism against my country. In the event that also describes you, then I am quite sure that you also become a fan of the work of Mr. Thor is.
All indications are that the Takedown, the fifth thriller a tough-as-nails and sarcastic-as-Blogstein counterterrorism operational Scot Harvath, the This summer's hot read. You know, a book you can see every other person on the beach reading?
So my tip is that you get to it soon, so you can take credit for discovering that - at least that's what I intend to do.
The book comes 30th May, but I just preordered at Amazon.com
And now, without Freddy Adu, welcome Brad Thor ...
Dr. Blogstein: Hello, Brad, this is true, an honor that one of my favorite writers visit Dr. Blogstein.
Brad Thor: It is my delight, Dr. B. Thank you for having me.
Dr. B: If you had two or three sentences to convince Takedown to read, what would you say?
BT: I know where you live, what car you drive, and if you washed your shirt. Read it, or I'll be in touch.
But if you're the type who bows to small intimidation, then I would say that - this book As exciting white-knuckle ride. It is easily my best work so far. Drawing is sharp as a razor, chapters are fast like hell, the action never stops, and the characters are based on real people who were there kicking ass and follow names on a daily basis.
Dr. B: Brad, you had me "shirts laundered."
According to its Amazon.com description of the new book, the attack of terrorists in New York, and "all bridges and tunnels leading to and from Manhattan are destroyed." Can something like this really happen in New York?
BT: If someone is willing to throw enough forces on it, you can bet that it could.
Dr. B: The answer I was looking for was, "no". Dude, you scaring me.
In your expert opinion, is terror strike similar to the one you write about Takedown on the horizon? If so, you tell me when I get here?
BT: It's funny you should ask. My wife jokes that I'm sort of a bizarre ability see into the future and write about events before they occur. I hope this is not true in New York, but what is interesting is the fact that Takedown based on a very scary guy who went into hiding two days before the September 11 attacks. Not much scares me, but this man is something that probably really scared. In my endless effort to have issued a fatwa against me, I'm a man's real name in the book - and made a pedophile his boot. As I neared the completion of the novel, the CIA launched a missile strike inside Pakistan and nailed a bunch of bad guys. Supposedly, My guy was among them, so I decided to give the character a fictitious name. Two days ago my intel friend called me to say that the fear is not dead, and managed to escape. I hope I'm wrong, but if I were you, Dr. B - I would make sure I had a lot of canned tuna and powdered milk under the bed. And while we're at it, it results in plastic sheeting and duct tape his hands too.
Dr. B: Hmmm, I could use that plastic film on my desk chair before you answer that question, if you know what I mean.
Ever fear of giving terrorists ideas?
BT: Despite all the work I put into my novels (interviews, research, etc.) I ran into a lot of information for reasons of national security, I either change or omit entirely. I consider it my duty be responsible. But I never worried that I give terrorists ideas? It's on my mind from time-to-time.
Dr. B: To this point, the accordance with the "Page Six" New York Post of July 2, 2005, the government puts pressure on you to cancel interviews on their last tour, because book "DC bureaucrats fear Thor will give away secrets that could help the evil-doers." If that's true, why did you get a note and Scooter Libby is not it?
BT: You know what, Scooter was always a rebel in this way. Got a note, like me, but many of us suggested, it might be fun if he threw a really ...
Dr. B: What does Brad Thor's novels so much fun to read, the voltage does not know whether it is a book in which the hero, Terrorist Operative Scot Harvath, finally found the letter "T" that is clearly lacking his first name. Seriously, dude, what's with your spelling of "Scot"?
BT: My brother's name is Scot. My mother did not like it T is the idea of three lined up in Scott Thor, so he opted for a Scot with one T character is partly based on it. That is true.
Dr. B: How President in the novels, Jack Rutledge, measures to further fake presidents, such as Josiah Bartlet on West Wing, David Palmer from 24, and George W. Bush on Crawford, TX?
BT: ROTFL. You're pretty funny guy, doc. Allow me the okay.
Josiah Bartlet can not go one wheel with President Rutledge. Who will train him? Josh? CJ? Mrs. McKlusky - "It's a demolition machine, Josiah ..."
Presidents Palmer and Rutledge, though, mano-a-mano fight to hell. Plus, Palmer got so bad paw, and all that funky skin. That would be pretty cool, but I had it here too hard, I tried to tag with Jack Bauer. Then Scot Harvath will have to jump and ass whoopin 'would begin. Bauer'd be hurt 'o much longer than 24 hours.
And because I really wanted to be called back into the White House, I think It should be noted that President George W. Bush, is not "fake" president.
Dr. B: That's debatable.
Finally, Brad, if Takedown soundtrack was what songs are on it?
BT: What a great question. Let's see here. In order of appearance, which would be:
Tear Roof Sucker - George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
Daddy Cool - Boney M
Staying Alive - N Trance
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway) - Billy Joel
Let's Get It On - Tenacious D
And the credit roll - Scotty Does not Know by Lustra.
Dr. B: Books are loans that roll?
Well, thank you for your time, it was a blast!
BT: I wish all my interviews it was fun. Thank you, Doctor Blogstein. See you on the web.
