Summary: Cardboard Cutouts have more Personality
Review: the cover blurbs were more exciting reading than the actual book.This guy has learned all he knows about the world from watching TV dramas and spy movies. His women characters fall into three categories... helpless hapless "blondes," would-be spies who are actually incapable of doing much more than walking down a fashion runway, and two dimensional power figures who are little more than "yes-women.' The men don't fare much better. A 'president' who gives new definition to the term "wooden." Assorted Senators who waffle between power mad and power hungry. And then the redoubtable Mitch Rap, savior of the universe. I can almost see his cape. :-P It's a shame because there actually WAS a story in there somewhere.

Summary: Good story that ended a little fast
Review: I'm a fan of Mr. Flynn's and have read all of his books. While this was a good book to read it ended a little abruptly and much to clean. He needs to pay more attention to detail, such as different weapons and SpecOPs SOP. ... This book could've been drawn out a little more. I think if it were the length of a Tom Clancy novel, then this would have been a much more enjoyable to read and a lot more things could have been defined more. But overall it was nice a book to read if you've got a few hours to kill by the fire.

Summary: Comic Book Caper
Review: I was surprised to see this book's ratings. To me, it was just a very average book. When I read the back cover, I thought the book was about an operation to recover the nukes from Saddam. But sadly the entire operation was finished in half a dozen pages towards the end. The Author keeps re-iterating how good Rapp is, what a great lady Kennedy is and the president of US as savior of the planet, but the action scenes in the book hardly ever confirms it. It is only a comic book caper and not different from infinite grade B Hollywood films in which the villain is a person with a non-American accent. There are some questions Will the President of US get involved with an assassin at this level? Will someone shoot the director of an intelligence agency inside the White House? Will the President do what he did to find the man behind Rapp's attempted assassination. Flynn will make his millions but this book is a disgrace to human intelligence I will take a Jason Boure any day.... After finishing this book, I raced to my bookshelf and picked up a novel named "Green Ripper" by another American author. Only after the reading this passage that I restored my faith in the quality of American writing... "The replaced power plant yanked her along too fast for her tall antique dignity, like a dowager blown into an unwilling trot by a gale-force wind"

Summary: Timely, but some disturbing errors of fact ... sloppy
Review: Yes, it's a nice action-thriller, but the darn errors will disturb readers with knowledge of military ops, arms, and technology. Some examples: Anyone who has ever read "Dr. No" (or seen the "A View to a Kill" movie) knows that the Walther PPK is 7.65 mm. Mr. Flynn has the weapon chambering a .22 AND firing through a silencer. Plop poof, Mr. Flynn. Aw, come on.. The US CENTRAL Command (Tampa) is responsible for operations in Iraq. Yes, the US Southern Command is also in Florida (Miami), but it worries about South and Central America, not Iraq as Mr. Flynn portrays. F-111s dropping bombs today, Mr. Flynn? No sir. No bomb-dropping F-111s available! This book would have benefited from a quick read by someone who
had some military experience.

Summary: A political thriller with an ending unlike any other!
Review: This book is a must read, especially for fans of Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum. Couple it with "The Third Option" and you won't be able to put it down. I read both books in four days, they were so gripping. If you have read "The Third Option" and were a bit disappointed by the ending, then you MUST READ this book.

Summary: What a book
Review: Vince Flynn has become a master of the spy thriller. His books have definately improved over the years. Flynn came through big time on this one. I could not put the book down from the time that I opened it. This one had me on the edge of my seat. Dr. Irene Kennedy has recently taken over as CIA Director. She has become the target of corrupt politicians who plan on ruining her by uncovering her secret intelligence group, the Orion Team. Top counterterrorism agent Mitch Rapp has been called on once again to resolve a rising in the middle east. He has less than 2 weeks to take out the threat and save the world from World War 3. He also has a few personal matters of his own that he needs to solve. All these factors come together to create a story that any espionage thriller reader will love.

Summary: Wow

Summary: New to Flynn and now a big fan
Review: This was my first Vince Flynn book and I loved it. It is a very fast paced and timely political thriller. The characters are very well developed and and pacing of the book is fast. The political and international plot twists could have been taken out of the newspaper yesterday. I have not read the first books by Flynn yet, and let me emphasize "yet", but this book was good enough for me to purchase his first 2, to read more into the main character (Mitch Rapp)and be ready for the next when it comes out in 2003.
A Must Read!
