Product Description

From Library Journal

Adequate production values and a serviceable reading by James Naughton cannot save this audiobook from a truly awful story that tries to pass off a rightist political manifesto with Fascist underpinnings as an entertaining thriller. The silly plot focuses on our hero, a macho U.S. Congressman, who punches out the National Security Advisor in the President's presence, spouts that slain U.S. Congressmen got what they deserved, calls Congressmen who oppose his agenda "pansies," and, finally, joins a plot to kill another Fed with assassins who just happen to include an old Marine buddy and the Congressman's own grandfather. The assassins are all just good Americans, demanding at one point that the President sponsor a crime bill, of all things, or else! They are noble reformers, with a dirty job to do, rubbing out corrupt politicians. This reactionary diatribe is not recommended.?Mark Pumphrey, Polk Cty. P.L., Columbus, NC

From AudioFile

Someone is killing senators and congressmen. The killers call for changes in U.S. policy, changes that the American people have demanded for years. Freshman Congressman and former Recon Marine Michael O'Rourke thinks he knows who's behind the assassinations, then learns that government corruption exceeds his greatest imagination. After a slow start, Nick Sullivan warms to the tale and infects the listener with the excitement of its progression. His characters speak for themselves, so clearly and convincingly as to obviate the need for identifiers. Especially creepy is his portrayal of National Security Advisor Nance, a smarmy politician who stops at nothing to further his own ends.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Great, but some flaws!, Jui 29 2004

Par	Brent Olson (Chicago, IL) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Term Limits (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first reading of a book by Vince Flynn. I found the book very enjoyable, and now I must admit being hooked to him as I am other greats such as Stephen King and John Grisham.

There is one major flaw with Term Limits. Mr. Flynn goes to great length to write about the massive protection given to each member of the House and Sentate after the initial assasinations. However, he writes about Congressman O'Rourke traveling all over the place and never mentions that any protection is either guarding him or watching his every move. Although this is a major flaw in the book, I still highly recommend it.

3.0�toiles sur 5 An overly contrived premise., Jui 26 2004

Par	Michael G. "mikefromrochester" (Rochester, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Term Limits (Mass Market Paperback)

First of all, Term Limits by Vince Flynn does have some good aspects to it. For example, it contains a discussion of how the CIA has come to depend on technological information gathering while neglecting development of human assets on the ground. Anyone who owns a TV or occasionally reads a newspaper knows that now. But in the 90's, when this book was written, that information was not common knowledge. So Flynn obviously did his homework, at least to some extent.
Unfortunately, whatever merit Term Limits might have is completely overshadowed by the novel's very preposterous premise. Flynn would have the reader believe that a small band of former navy SEALs would be so enraged over the federal government's unwillingness to balance the budget, they would resort to serial assassination as a means of getting it to do so.
The idea of a balanced federal budget is an abstract and sterile concept. It's just not the kind of issue that would engender the degree of passion necessary to motivate people to kill. Term Limits is flawed as a work of fiction because its premise is way too far-fetched.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Plausible in every way!, Mai 31 2004

Par	Victoria Tarrani "writer, editor, artist, des... (Betwixt FL and CA, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Term Limits (Mass Market Paperback)

Term Limits is fast paced and filled with scenarios that both can and probably have happened. This realistic view of political power makes events that seem impossible to the once na�ve public feasible and all too real.

Assassinations rock the U. S. President, Secret Service, Cabinet, FBI, and CIA when three are carried out on a single night. Ignoring the ultimatum issued by the "terrorists" causes a fourth man to die and puts the President in the line of fire. Fear triggers tempers as the administration determines if it should make changes that yield to blackmail? Then two more men are murdered, but where only the four specific targets were taken out in the first wave, these also include law enforcement guards.

Questions power the plot; drama moves it forward; action demands reading even though your eyes are tired and burn; the characters are interesting and multi-dimensional.
* Why isn't the budget balanced?
* Why do the Republicans and Democrats care more about special interest groups than the constituents who voted them in?
* Who has the power in the White House?
* Who runs Black Ops, and what power is used to maintain the secrecy of an organization in their clandestine operations.
* Is anyone capable of controlling them, and are personal agendas the root of military and covert actions?
* Is this story too real to be ignored?
* How many groups are behind the assassinations?

Any spare minute found me reading this novel. When I finished it, I was satisfied. The story was complete, the questions answered, I am interested in what's next for these characters -- they became real. Five stars to Vince Flynn, and the knowledge that I will buy more of his books.

Victoria Tarrani
