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 derrire is particularly memorable.”

" Again, an interesting plot concept. Multiple threads come together nicely. this stuff is easy to read and fun to read. I highly recommend this series and author "
— Robert, 10/27/2013 -
" Think Jack Bauer for books. This is book 4 in the Mitch Rapp series. At this point, they sort of started to mix together in my memory (my first book from Flynn was "Term Limits", so it's similar), but I'm sure it was excellent. "
— Denise, 10/14/2013 -
" This is the first book in the Mitch Rapp series. If you like Jason Bourne, you'll love Mitch Rapp. Good book. "
— Amanda, 9/20/2013 -

" amusing enough for a plane ride ;) "
— Noel, 4/25/2012 -
" This installment needed more action. I liked the first half of the book and the rescue mission, but the second half had lots of history about the middle East and I felt it dragged a bit. "
— Ali, 4/19/2012 -
" One of the best Mitch Rapp books. "
— Andy, 3/10/2012 -
" Mitch Rapp has of course saved the free world, even after being turned into a paper-pusher. This one concerns leaks in the agencies and what Mitch needs to do to fine the leaks and stop a terroist threat. "
— John, 11/29/2011 -
" Terrorism, Mideast issues and of course the one and only Mitch Rapp, a ruthless assassin for the US-a former Navy Seal and the only one in the US who can solve the problems and be home for dinner. Boy, do I need to move on. "
— Mike, 9/26/2011 -
" I love anything that Vince Flynn writes! "
— Karen, 9/3/2011 -
" It is ridiculous that I keep reading these books. they are so insular, so right wing, so...I hate to say it, but boring. Hmph. "
— Katherine, 6/6/2011 -
" 3 and a half<br/><br/>My 4th Mitch Rapp. Always a pulse raising diversion. "
— Alice, 5/10/2011 -
" Somehow missed this one when it first came out, and saw the paperback in the supermarket. Reading it out of order (without realizing it at first) threw me off a bit. Still a good yarn. "
— Mark, 4/17/2011 -
" Fine story, nothing too exciting. <br/>Again, I did not like the ending. It just kind of ends without a cocnlusion in my opinion. "
— Tejka, 3/22/2011 -
" I really enjoyed the speed of this book. Love a spy book! "
— Justine, 3/15/2011 -
" Love this series, about half way through. "
— Dolores, 3/13/2011 -

— Greg, 3/12/2011 -
" Fast paced book featuring Mitch Rapp and his undercover team. Very up to date topic considering the unrest in the Middle East. "
— Sheila, 3/3/2011 -
" Intense! Keeping track of the myriad of characters,countries and political agendas was challenging. I look forward to the next in the series. "
— Christa, 3/3/2011 -
" As with all Mitch Rapp books this did not disappoint "
— Nneka, 2/21/2011 -
" With seemingly 2 separate plot lines going, Flynn closes up one of them with 1/3 of the book still to be read. It was a struggle to continue reading, but the end progressed nicely and was fairly thrilling. "
— Scott, 2/12/2011 -
" Listened to on tape. Okay story, predictable writing. It filled the time in the car. "
— Susan, 2/10/2011 -
" Vince Flynn and his hero Mitch Rapp are always a fun read. This one is good but not great. Still I am reading all of them in order. This is the 4th. Sort of an American James Bond dealing with domestic issues that somehow expand to world wide issues.df Fun and entertaining. "
— Keith, 1/16/2011
