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: Not A Bad "Rapp"
Review: Super-agent Mitch Rapp is back in "Separation of Power" and once again trying to save the world from those nasty evil doers. I read an earlier Rapp novel ("Transfer of Power") but did not do my research and realized shortly after I had started that "The Third Option" fell between these two "Power" books. So while I was at a bit of a loss at times, "Separation" gives you enough information to fill in some of gaps since Rapp re-claimed the White House from a gang of terrorists at the end of "Transfer." In "Separation," Vince Flynn creates another work that is strikingly close to today's "real world" events. Rapp's latest mission, among other things, to uncover and destroy Saddam Hussein's (with help from the North Koreans no less!) secret cache of nuclear weapons. Throw in the setting of Washington DC where backstabbing, blackmail, and murder all seem part of a normal day and you have a highly readable, entertaining, and, at times, very relevant piece of fiction. My one quibble is Rapp's love life as his relationship with Anna Reilly continues to be a weak point for me in this series. With Rapp being more James Bond than a Clancy Jack Ryan-type, it is hard to fathom him all googly-eyed in love and considering marriage. While the pair's "damsel in distress" meeting in "Transfer" held some appeal, there is simply not much to even like about Anna this time around, much of it caused by her own stubbornness and inability to understand/accept Rapp's "job." Reilly was an unnecessary third wheel in this novel, with two other female characters -- CIA director-elect Irene Kennedy and fellow spy (and Rapp's ex-lover to boot) Donatella Rahn - being far more engaging. I will definitely be reading more Flynn is the future - hopefully he will just shelf the romance and stick with the action.

Summary: Wow
Review: I couldn't put it down. Flynn's governmental insight is amazing and at times, frightening and uncanny. I cannot wait to read all of his pieces.
