Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture

Bestselling author Vince Flynn—“the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there today” (The Providence Journal)—puts Mitch Rapp in the crossfire as America’s enemies tighten their grip.

Returning from a covert mission, Mitch Rapp was publicly hailed by the president for his role in the fight against terrorism. After years of working in the shadows, Rapp was caught in the media spotlight—and marked for death by virtually every terrorist in the world. Now a CIA advisor, Rapp is ready to battle terror far from the front lines. But when a Navy SEAL team in the Philippines is ambushed, all evidence points to a leak within the US State Department. And a greater threat lurks—a ruthless assassin working for the most powerful men in the Middle East, who are bent on igniting a world war. With the world watching, Rapp must hold back the flames of Armageddon…

"Another Mitch Rapp story, another four-star effort. I'm still waiting for Flynn to completely blow me away with one of these the way, say, Ludlum did with his best work. Maybe that will never happen since Flynn chooses to focus more on political intrigue than action. Nevertheless, this was another solid, enthralling installment, with good dual plotlines and compelling characters throughout. Reading this one at the exact same time as the real-life Palestinians were making noise at the UN made it particularly poignant. I will definitely read every Rapp tale. Flynn's authenticity and attention to detail, along with Rapp's penchant for cutting through the crap, is what makes these so readable."

Quotes

  • “Executive Power is political thriller at its best.

    — Midwest Book Review
  • Executive Power couldn’t be more timely.”

    — St. Paul Pioneer Press
  • “Flynn’s timing with these thrillers is uncanny…Another explosive tale of international intrigue from a master of the high-concept thriller.”

    — Booklist
  • “George Guidall’s reading is flawless. As he keeps the story moving at a brisk pace, Guidall saves his best performances for the interactions between Rapp and his new wife and between Rapp and CIA Chief Irene Kennedy. The scene in which the two women discuss Rapp’s gunshot wound to the derrire is particularly memorable.”
