Product Description

In the newest devastatingly intense thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn, his deadly and charismatic hero Mitch Rapp wages a war against a new enemy with the help of a fellow soldier as dedicated -- and as lethal -- as they come.

Vince Flynn's thrillers, featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, dominate the imagination of readers everywhere. In them, Flynn captures the secretive world of the fearless men and women, who, bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders.

Now, Rapp and his protégé, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for sixteen years -- first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp -- is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihads and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgement of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives.

But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.

Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

Mitch Rapp, book 9

Having read all of his novels, there is no doubt Vince Flynn is one of my favourite authors. This latest thriller features Mitch Rapp and Mike Nash fighting one more battle against terrorism.

This is a very addictive series that captures the secretive world of the fearless men and women risking their lives in covert operations hidden from the scrutiny of their political leaders. This story starts with the CIA detecting and intercepting two terrorist cells, a third is rumoured to be still at large.

Rapp and Nash have to think on their feet and have to be at their fighting best; unfortunately this does not go well with their political leaders who wish to have them put on a short leash.

But one afternoon everything changes.... terrorists make their way into the US, mayhem and destruction follows.

This novel plunges us into a conspiracy with political intrigue, action packed with a lot of tension, violence and gory descriptions.

In this novel the dominance of Nash and his domestic life have left Rapp and Kennedy with a lesser role. I found it added a different twist and removed some of the predictability we have been lulled into.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Lots of Slow-Moving Legal and Political Wrangling as Background to a Terrorist Threat, Nov. 3 2008
Mitch Rapp fans should be warned that Extreme Measures features Mike Nash (a counter-terrorism agent who has been trained by Mitch) as the protagonist with Mitch Rapp making occasional explosive appearances. When Mitch Rapp appears, the thrills will curl your toes. The rest of the time, however, you may feel like you are listening to either C-Span or a boring prosecutor on Court TV.

There seems to be a serious purpose behind the book: To demonstrate the advantages of suspending constitutional limitations on the government when there is a clear and present danger of immediate harm from terrorists. If you want to know more about the benefits of that approach, you will find plenty to engage you in this story that will probably strike you as very plausible.

From a thriller reader's perspective, this isn't a total thriller. It's more like a book about political intrigue with thriller scenes in it.

So what's it all about? Two terrorist cells have been stopped that had been headed for the U.S. Two well-connected Taliban leaders have been captured in Afghanistan (Abu Haggani organizes suicide operations using Down syndrome children and Mohammad al-Haq is the liaison with al-Qaeda) and are in custody of the U.S. Air Force. A group from Congress has visited the detainees and promised them rights under the Geneva Convention. The CIA desperately wants to find out if there is a third terrorist cell still functioning . . . and where it's headed. Mike Nash and Mitch Rapp descend under the pretense of being Air Force personnel . . . and get caught in the act before they can find out what they want to know. The repercussions reverberate throughout the book.

In a parallel story line, there is a terrorist cell finishing its training in South America under Karim Nour-al-Din who dreams of creating much carnage for Allah. You follow the cell step-by-step as it approaches closer to its target.

In the story, there are several sources of tension:

- will the terrorists be stopped?
- will Mitch Rapp beat the rap?
- will Mike Nash survive the pressure?
- will Mike's family deal with the consequences?
- will the CIA be able to do its job in the future?

Although that sounds pretty thrilling, the book moves slowly from its opening so that the tension merely simmers along for the first two hundred pages or so. Frankly, the story would probably have made a better novella than novel by cutting out most of the background conflicts and focusing on the more imminent parts of the threat.

If you can't get enough of Mitch Rapp, don't miss the book. If you want mostly Mitch Rapp, skip the book.
