Rapp (and Flynn) Roll On!

Notwithstanding what some others here think, in my humble opinion, Vince Flynn has not written a dissapointing novel yet. If you have not read any of his "Mitch Rapp" novels yet, it would behoove you to start and the beginning and move forward. While this novel deals with an Iraq still controlled by Sadaam, the story loses nothing in that regard and the essential points made by the story that is laid out for the reader is sure to leave you waiting for the next installment. I will be looking forward to it.

EXECUTIVE POWER and Vince Flynn rock!

I'm a fan of Tom Clancy and David Baldacci, and this was my first time reading a Vince Flynn novel. WOW! All I can say is that it was a thrill ride from start to finish, and I felt like I came away from it knowing a little more about world politics and terrorism than I did before. Plus it's a fun read -- Mitch Rapp is a CIA agent who kicks some serious butt, doing somethings a lot of us wish we could do. Talk about wish fulfillment! If you haven't read Flynn before, this is one to pick up. I enjoyed it more than the past few Clancy novels, I've got to admit. This writer is definitely one to watch.

Executive Power Proves That Flynn Is A Master

For those who love the geopolitical accuracy of Tom Clancy and the high-flying suspensful action of Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn successfully creates a balance of the two in his latest novel, Executive Power.Executive Power brings Mitch Rapp back once more, but this time around, things are much different. Not only has his cover as an assassin and counterterrorism operative been blown, but he's also married to an inquisitive and beautiful reporter who wants nothing more than her new husband to leave his dangerous life at the CIA behind.Flynn's latest novel, which is among his best to date (the best, in my opinion, being The Third Option), involves two different scenarios: an American family taken hostage by Muslim radicals in the Phillipines, and an honorable but ruthless assassin playing a deadly geopolitical game, his ultimate goal being the establishment of a free and peaceful Palestinian state.Our hero Rapp, of course, eventually becomes involved with both. Bullets fly when he attempts a hostage rescue in the Phillipines, and terrorists sweat when he tries to get to the bottom of a string of assassinations reaching from Israel to the US.Executive Power is an incredibly well-written novel that blends incredible accuracy and amazing action and keeps the reader turning pages. My only complaint is that the novel ended too soon; one can only hope that Mitch Rapp will return soon enough to avert disaster once again.
