Product Description
Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, is sent on his final mission, to eliminate a European industrialist who has been selling sensitive equipment to one of terrorism's most notorious sponsors. But he doesn't know that the ultimate target of this mission is himself. Set up by forces within the US who do not want the next Director-elect of the CIA to take over, and therefore need a disaster for the present regime, Mitch refuses to die ...the conspirators have made an awful miscalculation. They have enraged one of the most lethal and efficient killers the CIA has ever produced. Now they will pay.

Make sure you have time set aside to read this because once started you will not want to put it down.
I was always a great fan of Tom Clancy but reading Vince Flynn's work to-date has changed my definition of a book that I just can't put down. Along with Patrick Robinson, Vince Flynn has been my favourite author of the past twelve months and I trust he will keep his brain cells busy to come up with more like this one.
Tom Clancy writes some great stuff but occassionally can get a bit bogged down with technical details whereas the flow of Vince Flynn's work is fast and furious throughout without losing a sense that the events that unfold could really happen.
You needn't have read his previous works Term Limits & Transfer of Power as this a great read in its own right but I loved the way this book brought strands together from both of these books which previously were almost entirely independent. By the end of the book I wanted more and was glad to see that the follow up to this, Balance of Power, had been released in hardback which I ordered immediately. This is also a cracking read!
My only slight criticism as a reader of the previous books and this applies to his latest one as well, is the slight repetition of background information which I found slightly tedious. However, I can fully forgive Mr Flynn as he has done this to enable to the books to be read by first timers and this is a great advantage to them.
Reading both The Third Option and Balance of Power in a week left me very tired from staying up late reading but more of the same from Vince Flynn is definitely in order!

This is a magnificent follow up to "Transfer of Power" and "Term Limits". You will find your self glue to the book and will have a hard time to putting it down. Mr Flynn has grown even more as a writer and his knowledge of the in and outs of the US inteligence communtity is superb, you will find yourself will a wealth of knowledge after reading it. Read it or you will miss out.

Read 'Transfer of Power' and was hooked from the start so I decided to read this; the next one in the sequence. I was as good as the other and I'm going to read the one after 'Separation of Power'.
If you like Lee Child/Jack Reacher then you should like these books.

Mitch Rapp does it again in another thrilling episode. He's better than Bond, better than Bourne, and each book is just impossible to put down. Read more

Good Book But...
A while ago, a colleague loaned me a copy of 'Consent To Kill'. Having enjoyed that book, I decided to start reading all the Vince Flynn books in chronological order. Read more

almost an excellent follow-up
As with most other readers, I expect, I had previously read the earlier novels featuring the new super-hero Mitchell Rapp, so I was looking forward to this one. Read more

Good read with minor weakness
I enjoyed 'transfer of power' and have enjoyed this follow-on as well. It is a good story along the lines of a Robert Ludlum thriller. Read more
