When a spike in CIA intelligence suggests a major terrorist attack planned for Memorial Day, the president orders Mitch Rapp, his top counterterrorism operative, to pull out all the stops. Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan where he leads the ultra secret counterterrorism Special Forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into Northern Pakistan. Their target: an al-Qaeda stronghold. Within a subterranean room, Rapp and his team discover a treasure trove of maps, computers, files and bills of lading for multiple freighters heading to US ports - all pointing to plans for a catastrophic attack on Washington DC. Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency search team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and the danger averted. Or has it? To Mitch Rapp, the whole operation seemed just a bit too easy. Following his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth, Rapp makes a truly terrifying discovery - and with Memorial Day closing fast, he must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions ...

Fast moving, edge of the seat action and suspense. Ever wanted to tell a politician to "shut up and listen"? CIA hero Mitch Rapp does! Great story, and unfortunately very realistic.

This is the latest in the author's series of books featuring Mitch Rapp and, like all the others, it is very good stuff.
Rapp is a front line CIA agent/assassin, the guy who gets his hands very dirty behind the scenes. What is unsual with these books is that the main character does interact with the President so there is a political aspect to the story that compliments the action.
The story deals with a planned al-Qaeda attack on the States using a nuke, just when the bad guys are sorted out, it appears they may be another nuke and time is running out to find it in time. While this is nothing new it is told well and the pages do fly by. It did remind me of 'Liberty' by Steve Coontz but it is far, better in both content and style.
I think the author is right on the top of his game and I am not sure if there is anyone writing better action thrillers at the moment.

Another great Mitch Rapp story. I am steadily working my way through all Vince Flynn's titles and this one certainly lived up to expectations.

"Standard" Vince Flynn
I have read every "Mitch Rapp" book and they are consistent in their detail. Perhaps, after so many, the end is going to be obvious, but even so, I shall continue reading... Read more

No story. No excitement. Vengeance is mine?
This is a very current book. Terrorism is on everybody's mind these days. Clearly, the readers of this book have been polarized into two groups. Read more
