This book is a powerful read because of the politics of the today and the last few years. Vince Flynn writes on a real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, dedicated men and women. The book is full of fast-paced writing and mind shaking realism.

Enter the secretive world of fearless men and women, who bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders. Mitch Rapp and his agency colleague Mike Nash are called on by the CIA to hunt down a terrorist cell that is on the loose. Led by the dangerous leader of al-Qaeda, this terrifying group is about to descend on America.

Mitch and Mike have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, but 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 the men are put on “a short leash.” But, one spring afternoon in Washington, D.C., everything changes.

This is a gripping book, not only because of the writing and action, but also because of the questions that are raised. What is the right answer? When is might right? Decide for yourself.

I like Vince Flynn’s writing and his other books as well: Consent to Kill, \ Act of Treason, Protect and Defend and others.
