Additional Extreme Measures: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Novels) Information

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, have dominated the imagination of readers everywhere. In them, Flynn has captured 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 protege, 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 jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment 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 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.

What Customers Say About Extreme Measures: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Novels):

There is still plenty of twists and covert actions going on to hold a reader's attention. But if you can see this for how closely it monitors the current political landscape of the US, then this is a great read. The plot is well developed and realistic. This Mitch Rapp book is a little less action packed than usual, but the polt involves a timely look at war, interrogation, and politics and the changing political landscape of a prolonged war. If you read then Mitch Rapp solely for the action, then this one might disappoint.

He's trying to keep us save despite crooked politicians, shortsighted liberals and government agencies who don't know the meaning of cooperation and sharing information. The problem with this novel is that we have too much Nash and it's not the Mike Nash from his previous novels. The book deals on Nash's problems and his family a little too much.Rapp knows that good guys have to use the tactics as the bad guys if we are going to succeed in stopping those who want to destroy our country. I always pre-order Flynn's novels and I usually finish them in one sitting, two tops. (Sound familiar). While reading the book I could imagine news commentators delivering the same message as this novel; American citizens are not worried enough about global terrorism. This was no different, except after I finished it I was a little disappointed. While I agree with this, I read action adventure thrillers because it is an action adventure thriller; I don't want a lecture or sermon.Compared to some other authors who are writing thrillers with reoccurring characters Flynn keeps Rapp interesting.

I have one criticism of Vince Flynn as an Author: He does not write as fast as I read.Robert Maune I have not had a chance to start reading this book.

Everyone one of his is good, just that some are better. Vince Flynn leaves nothing on the cutting room floor.

There is a terrorist cell planning an attack, and he is trying to head them off. Some background color is good, but too much can leave you glassy eyed. What constitutes torture, and how far should you go in interrogations to obtain information of vital importance.

And, meanwhile, the terrorist cell in getting into position.The novel has a blazing climax, with a high number of casualties. I found myself skimming some parts to get on with the story.I was a little disappointed that nothing seemed to happen to the Air Force captain. Some of it may seem a little improbable, but dedicated terrorists can always reach targets (at least some of them will - think of kamikaze pilots).At points I thought that the story digressed a little too much - hence not five stars.

The novel deals with an issue that has been in the news. Self righteous US senators are demanding an investigation. One could have hoped that he went along to lunch at one of the restaurants.

Mitch Rapp is doing what he has to do. An Air Force captain who has his head where the sun doesn't shine is interfering.
