Move over Jack Ryan, 4 Jun 2006
Thanks to another reviewer on Amazon of a different book, I became aware of this author and am heartily glad to have done so! Now that Jack Ryan has become the President and can no longer save the democratic (with a small 'd') world, there's a vacuum to be filled and who better than Mitchell Rapp? Vince Flynn takes over where Clancy left off and this book, the first to feature our hero, was written before the downfall of Saddam Hussein but it captures the fanaticism of the terrorist and the weakness of the political system. Whether the US military is this good is debatable but, no matter, the story races along and the 550 pages seem half that as the reader joins the escapades of Mich and Milt (not a TV show!) together with a very much restrained love interest in Anna Rielly. I have the other books in the series and I can't wait. The missing star is for one or two repeat lines which are delivered as if only for the first time - a very small niggle in an otherwise excellent read.

Buy it, Read it Immediately, 19 Jul 2005
I bought this book some time ago and it has been sitting in a bookcase ever since. What a mistake this turned out to be as this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. In the Genre of Political/ Terrorist thriller it is up there with the best. The plot moves briskly and there is enough action that you want to keep reading. Mitch Rapp is a believable character, and you find yourself wanting him to succeed. I would advise anyone to read this book. You will not be disappointed.

The Best In History, 15 April 2001
By A Customer
This book is the best of all of the two of Vince Flynn, I had a great deal of trouble putting this book down as like with Terms Limits, you just wanted to see the outcome. This book does make you think 'can this happen' this is another great read by Vince Flynn and would tell anyone who is like me a Vince Flynn fan to buy this especially if you liked Term Limits
