Intense Action, Janv. 22 2008
After CIA director Thomas Stanfield death, Dr Irene Kennedy his successor is targeted by an inside plot to discredit her and end President Hayes' term. To make matters worse, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad provides the President with irrefutable proof that Saddam Hussein has acquired nuclear weapons and has positioned the factory beneath a Baghdad hospital. He has to be stopped, it calls for a covert operation, who best to pull this off but Mitch Rapp. Irene calls him into action and with his team of SEALS he sets off on a risky mission and infiltrates Iraq....
This sequel to " he Third option" is a continuing adventure of Mitch Rapp who plays the role of a superman with a love interest. The characters we have grown to love in the previous novels have stayed true to themselves and are still fun to read about. The plot is compelling, lot of twists and turns and intense action, no shortage of villains and political corruption. This is a great political/espionage story, a highly satisfying read.

Damn good!, Juil 12 2004
I just picked up Vince Flynn off the bookshelf and i sure must say i loved every bit of it. Without wasting any more time, i'll give you a brief introduction:Mitch Rapp is the CIA's best weapon. He's all set to retire and get married to his long-time girlfriend Anna Reilly. But before that, Mitch has to fly to Milan to meet up with his ex-lover to find out about the last failed mission in Germany (where Mitch almost got killed through an act of double-crossing). As expected, trouble brews up in Milan with Mitch saving his ex-lover and bringing her to safety. Anna blows her top and leaves Mitch for good! But Mitch cannot allow himself to loose his cool, he cannot ditch the CIA as his lover did to him. Add to this, the complication of a nuclear bomb that Iraq has accquired (which Mitch must stop) and corrupt politicians and you have a non-stop page turning read, an amazing political thriller. Vince Flynn does it again and i'm eager to go back & read Mitch's previous adventures before starting off on his new one (The Executive Power)....

Mitch Rapp gets the job done, Jui 23 2004
Mitch Rapp is the young, athletic, brilliant and charming hero beloved by Vince Flynn's reader everywhere. In Separation of Powers, he is all set to retire or at least gear down from the fast and furious life of a CIA assassin. Before he does that, he needs to know who tried to kill him in Germany. Coincidentally, it appears Senator Hank Clark wants him dead. Now the senator is the kind of villain one loves to hate. He is powerful and he owes his tenure in Congress to all his friendly contributors. These constituents don't ask much, just provide them with the CIA's ability to intercept competitor's cell phone calls and data transfers; they'll be happy in silicone valley and they'll keep Clark's reelection fully funded. But all that is about to change; both Mitch Rapp and the new director-designate of the CIA-Irene Kennedy frown on such misappropriation of government resources...not that the old director approved. The new team just have more energy and they know how the new technology works. But Mitch can't unravel this trail full-time. Not when he is America's answer to the threat of terrorism. A CIA operative, when Mitch sees a terrorist threat, he kills (eliminates) the terrorist threat. The hardest working man in espionage, Mitch makes it look easy. Having good fortune smiling on you and the President's ear doesn't hurt either. For instance, there was the small matter of acquiring a small motorcade of white Mercedes limousines to infiltrate Iraqi defenses. What do you know, it just so happens, the boys over at ATF have just appropriated such vehicles from a Columbian drug lord. Yes, that's right, not one but three armored Mercedes limousines. Fire up the GPS, the extraction of the weapons of mass destruction is underway. No wonder the Marines couldn't find them. Mitch beat them there and his mission was classified. While Flynn has been compared to Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy, I would lean more toward Jack Higgins. There is just something ingenuous and Saturday matinee clever about Flynn that hits 'wondrous' on the button. So how does Rapp corner Clark, how is the scoundrel brought to justice? How many gorgeous women faun on Rapp? Sorry, you'll get no answers here. National security comes at a price. To aid reader comprehension, I will however provide a heads up on three frequently used terms in the book that may be helpful; katsas- Isreali intelligence agent. kidon- Israeli assassin. Pavelow- a highly advanced helicopter that can fly low and fast under radar, delivers the goods and makes change.
