Amazon.com Review
Rancorous political infighting surrounds the selection of a successor to the dying head of the CIA just as Mitch Rapp, the agency's top operative, embarks on a dangerous mission to take out a well-known German industrialist believed to be supplying Middle East terrorists with highly sensitive equipment critical to constructing a nuclear bomb. When Rapp's ultimately successful mission is compromised from within, ailing CIA director Thomas Stansfield puts his imprimatur on the efforts of his chosen successor, Irene Kennedy, director of the agency's Counterterrorism Center, to identify the powerful interests both inside and outside the agency that wanted Rapp to fail. The motive soon becomes clear; there are people who'll stop at nothing to remove Kennedy from the helm of the agency after Stansfield dies. One thing they didn't count on was Rapp's survival, and now he's a lethal weapon whose sights are fixed directly on the most powerful among them. This is a strong, swift thriller, a bit predictable (the senator in the black hat has dogs named Caesar and Brutus) but nonetheless involving. Author Vince Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last; in Mitch Rapp, he's got the makings of a promising series hero. --Jane Adams
Product Description
When diplomacy has failed and military intervention is deemed inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take THE THIRD OPTION. CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield -- a choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins -- which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one's pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

 Mitch Rapp does it again! October 24, 2009
Julie B. Lewandowski (Georgia, USA)
I love Vince Flynn's character Mitch Rapp, and this novel lives up to both "individual's" reputations! A very fast, furious read, if you like political intrigue novels, you'll love this one. If you like Vince Flynn, you won't be disappointed!

The character Hank Clark couldn't have been an All-PAC 10 ASU baseball player...right?..since ASU wasn't even in the PAC 10 til the 70s and Clark would' ve played in the 60s. Oops!

Vince Flynn does it again, great book. He writes with such suspense, I find my heart rate accelerating while I am reading. Every new book of his just gets better.

Slam bang action. Mitch Rapp is the scourge of the bad guys in and out of government. Cross and double crosses abound. Fun read.

I like the one before this one much better. Didnt care for the storyline or the characters as much in this one. Just didnt grab me like the previous one. I will still continue to read his books though. I already have then next book in the series "seperation of power."
