Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture
The fallout from a horrific Washington explosion has just begun—and so has CIA superagent Mitch Rapp’s hunt for a killer with a personal agenda—in this explosive thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.
In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington’s most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp—the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contract killers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation’s capital…and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office.

"A nice break from Flynn's terrorist-chasing routine. This time it's more about domestic intrigue, but still enough exotic locales to keep Flynn's fan's interested. Also (almost) no torture scenes and more character development than usual. My one minor problem is that Mr. Flynn creates Democrat presidents who are WAY too supportive of the CIA and the work they do. It's probably his way of appearing unbiased, considering his clearly right wing inclinations. Not a deal-breaker, but takes away from the realism of his stories just a bit."

— Minneapolis Star Tribune -
In Act of Treason, Vince Flynn shows readers the underside of political power, where mercenaries are born and thrive and betrayal is business as usual. A fast and furious page-turner from beginning to end, "thrillers do not get any better than this.

“The suspenseful conclusion of this terrific story is exciting, satisfying, and totally unexpected. Act of Treason has what one desires in a thriller—a multilayered and complex plot full of twists and turns with a charismatic main character.”
— Roanoke Times -
“Tom Clancy fans who have not yet discovered bestseller Flynn and his maverick, do-whatever-it-takes hero, CIA operative Mitch Rapp, will find this page-turner right up their alley…Flynn will pull most readers along with his taut writing and plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Narrator George Guidall demonstrates why he is one of the industry’s top readers; his ability to portray characters is remarkable, and his pacing, phrasing, and accents are superb. Another terrific listening experience. Most highly recommended.”

Act of Treason Listener Reviews

" Great book- really enjoyed the narrator and all the characters "
— Loretta, 1/2/2018 -
" I was pleased with this novel. Story incorporated sufficient amounts of reality to make it believable. Mitch Rapp was his typical superhero, but did so in a fashion that led me to ponder if it could be true... The narrator provided a very good accent/dialect difference between the various characters so each could be easily identified. He also was very distinct when performing different genders. Overall, I was pleased with this selection. "
— Neil, 8/30/2017 -
" This was another great read by Vince Flynn. It's amazing how I get mad about characters in the book and want Mitch to do his thing. This book makes you think about what people will do to get what they want, even if they already have it good! "

" I was really liking it, but was disappointed with the ending. "
— Julie, 2/19/2014 -
" Another good read! To bad this is the final book of President Hayes' term. After the conclusion of this it will be interesting moving forward. Irene and Mitch amaze me with the calmness they display as things are unfolding so quickly. "

— Joe, 1/19/2014 -
" Enjoyed the intrigue - interesting subject matter of president/vice-presidebnt security. Did not approve of the solution! "
— Rita, 1/3/2014 -
" This could not have been written by Flynn - must have had a ghost doing it. The writing is uneven, but the thing that really struck me was the full descriptions of what everyone was wearing - constantly. I would recommend skipping this book, not worth the time to read it. "
— Shirley, 11/29/2013 -

— Nathan, 7/8/2011 -
" Less action and more politics than Flynn's other work to date buy still very enjoyable. "

— Psmoore, 5/12/2011 -
" Excellent. Great story line, hard to put down. "
— Nneutz, 5/8/2011 -
" It was ok. Predictable, plot relied on people being dumb and arrogant. Some action, but misrepresents how CIA, FBI, etc work. Doesn't make me want to read the rest of the series. "
— Curtis, 4/30/2011 -
" I can't get enough of his books. "
— Marie, 4/29/2011 -
" Love this character! For a darn good thriller, you just can't do much better then Mitch Rapp. "
— Linda, 3/28/2011 -
" Great pace and I enjoyed the shift of focus from the Middle East to domestic. Language got noticeably rougher in this one though. "
— Christian, 3/9/2011 -
" Another excellent book by Mr. Flynn. The Michael Rapp series is necessary reading to those who think that everybody loves America if we just roll over and play nice. "
— Jim, 2/26/2011 -
" Pretty good. Perhaps if I hadn't been using it to redirect my attention after my father died, I would have enjoyed it more. Interested in reading the next Mitch Rapp in the series. "
— Lisa, 2/20/2011 -
" Bad guys murder wife of presidential candidate so he'll win the election. "
— Barbara, 2/17/2011 -
" This book seemed like it was thrown together to fast to fully develop the story. Also, it might have received three stars, but references were made talking junk about Calvin. "
— Mark, 2/9/2011 -
" My first Mitch Rapp book, but if definitely will not be my last.<br/>I love political intrigue. "
— Rachel, 2/8/2011 -
" not as good as consent to kill, but still quite the page turner "
— Bill, 1/24/2011 -
" Another good Vince Flynn. The beginning of his books are so action packed that sometimes the ends seem a little light, but very good book overall. "
— Ken, 1/23/2011 -
" I like action books, but I wasn't as impressed with this one. Too much language and other stuff I could do without. Not the best ending either. "
— Suzette, 1/23/2011
