Extreme Measures: A Thriller

Additional Extreme Measures: A Thriller Information

The devastatingly intense new thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn

Counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his colleague 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, is his choice. Together, they 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 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:

This is another great Vince Flynn, Mitch Rapp book. The addition of a protege and the time spent with the politicians in Washington was different and will take some getting used to. It didn't have the action of other Mitch Rapp stories (and I have listened to every one several times) but perhaps a change was needed.

The Congress Woman has Mitch arrested because she thinks any intense persuading of the prisoner is against their civil rights. While this book is pure fiction the story does parallel today's headlines about persuading captured terrorists to divulge their secret plans against America. Mitch Rapp, the author's main character, is being denied the opportunity to interrogate the key prisoner by female a high level member of Congress. All this leads to Congressional hearings and planed attacks on Washington DC. A good read.

Reality is suspended when you read a book of fiction.This book is true to its genre fun,fanciful and we all wish the world was like this and we were the good guys in the book.This book is good reading for the summer , traveling or for escaping the real world with blurred lines of right wrong good and evil.This book will not inspire great political debate it is simple fun and well written which is fine by me.

Pundits of this novel argue it isn't one of the author's best. I felt like I was part of the Washington scene. I will admit it is somewhat alien compared to past works. However, I really got into the political infighting. I believe the back stabbing portrayed in this book is realistic of Washington's political scene and has been researched appropriately. I look forward to Flynn's next novel

I bought this for my husband and he really loved it. He loves reading books mentioned on Fox News, he is a Republican, and told me he really enjoyed this book - he will definitely buy books by this author again.
