Product Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR VINCE FLYNN RETURNS WITH HIS MOST EXHILARATING POLITICAL THRILLER TO DATE, A PULSE-POUNDING TALE OF ESPIONAGE, COVERT INTELLIGENCE, AND COUNTERTERRORISM.
The action begins six days after a series of explosions devastated Washington, D.C., targeting the National Counterterrorism Center and killing 185 people, including public officials and CIA employees. It was a bizarre act of extreme violence that called for extreme measures on the part of elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his trusted team member, Mike Nash. Now that the initial shock of the catastrophe is over, key Washington officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the agents who stepped between the enemy's bullets and countless American lives regardless of the legal consequences. Not for the first time, Rapp finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians whose view from the sidelines is inevitably obstructed. Meanwhile, three of the al Qaeda terrorists are still at large, and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary. No one knows the personal, physical, and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp. When he sees Nash cracking under the pressure of the mission and the memories of the horrors he witnessed during the terrorist attack, he makes a call he hopes will save his friend, assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill, and get him one step closer to the enemy before it's too late. Once again, Rapp proves himself to be a hero unafraid "to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence" (The Salt Lake Tribune) for our country's safety, for the sake of freedom, for the pursuit of honor.

Still Good Stuff July 31, 2010 Straightforward I have read many Vince Flynn books and they are somewhat predictable. Nevertheless, I found it hard to put down at times. As usual the book was very readable and entertaining.
Is Mitch Rapp Getting 'Old'? July 25, 2010 SanDiegoBert I'm a Major Vince Flynn fan. In fact, I've been thinking about a promotion from Major to Lt. Colonel, but I digress.
Mr. Flynn, in the unlikely event you read this, please understand that I am on your side. HOWEVER, I believe you need to develop an "alternative protagonist" for some of your future novels. Consider what other incredibly succesful and creative authors have done . . . i.e., Think of the alternative protagonists developed by Kellerman, Coonts, and Sandford, who are Milo Sturgis, Tommy Carmellini, and Virgil Flowers, respectively. They rock! (They sell books, too!)
Mr. Flynn, I always enjoy seeing you on the Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck shows, and other appearances. But I believe the time is ripe for an a new hero we can And be afraid of and for.
Time to refresh the series, and believe me, I have all of your books. Craft a character differing from Mitch, and create a novel around him or her.
He does it again! July 25, 2010 kelflynfan I started reading Vince Flynn's novels in January of this year and I am hooked. Each one lures you in deeper to the world of Mitch Rapp. When I am reading the books I feel like I am right there with him. Vince Flynn has done his research well. While I'm watching the news I compare simularities to the Flynn novels and they are spot on. I am going crazy waiting for the next one to be released. Of course, I have it ordered so I can have it in my hands as soon as possible.
just ok July 23, 2010 John O. Stanford Jr. lots of right wing political preaching at the expense of storytelling. and that comes from an independent. decent action, but fizzles at the end. Flynn sets up a huge ending and confrontation, but ends it in a few disappointing pages. I think he would rather be guest speaking on Glenn Beck's show at this point.
vince flynn does it again July 19, 2010 Eric Fugett (Cave City, Arkansas, US) if you have read his other books you know what to expect, and he delivers... if you have not read any of his books what ya waiting for but i would recomend starting in order of their production. good book read it in 3 nights. could not put it down.
