Fearless counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp is
called upon to fight against the world's most deadly
terrorists in this harrowing political thriller by New
York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.
It's
just seven days before Memorial Day, and the nation's
capital is buzzing with last-minute preparations for the
unveiling of the magnificent new memorial honoring the men
and women who fought in World War II. Despite the hopeful
energy of the city, Mitch Rapp senses trouble. A spike in
CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack
on the United States. Now it's up to Rapp to pull out all
the stops.
Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan,
where he leads a special forces unit on a daring commando
raid across the border into a remote Pakistani village.
Their target: an al Qaeda stronghold. Within a
subterranean room, Rapp and his team discover a treasure
trove of maps, computers, files, and bills of lading for
multiple freighters heading to U.S. ports -- all pointing
to plans for a catastrophic nuclear attack on Washington,
DC.
Information is quickly relayed back to CIA
headquarters, and a nuclear emergency support team
scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters
have been located and disarmed and the danger has been
averted. Or has it?
Despite all the backslapping and
congratulations, Mitch Rapp can't shake the feeling that
the operation seemed just a bit too easy. Rapp follows his
instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth. What he
finds is truly terrifying, and with Memorial Day closing
fast, Rapp must find a way to prevent a disaster of
unimaginable proportions.
Packed with the
heartstopping action and political intrigue that Vince
Flynn's fans love, here is a stylish thriller exalting
America's past battles for freedom as well as its
continued fight for peace.
I hope woman are fighting in this book also. The woman is the brains behind the guy? That would make for a good book. (Chrislin Payne 1:22pm May 28, 2012)
