It's just seven days before Memorial Day, and a spike in CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States. Now it's up to counterterrorism operative Mitch 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. Rapp and his team soon discover 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? 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.

"Each Vince Flynn book gets better and better! This one does not disappoint. Even knowing that Mitch Rapp will prevail against whatever the enemy has planned it is always a pageturning adventure." — Patty (5 out of 5 stars)
"Each Vince Flynn book gets better and better! This one does not disappoint. Even knowing that Mitch Rapp will prevail against whatever the enemy has planned it is always a pageturning adventure."
“The king of high-concept political intrigue.”
“Flynn has done his homework on military and security matters, and his accounts of combat operations, surveillance at the Charleston harbor, the complexities of assembling nuclear devices, the Secret Service's protection of the president and the like are detailed and persuasive.”
“A gripping look at what could transpire if a terrorist group were to sneak a nuclear weapon into the US.”
“You'll be hooked…Move over, Jack Ryan!”
" Good CIA adventure - very entertaining "
" Superb read from the first page to the last. Will be following up on the rest of Mitch Rapp's series. "
" Crazy scary to think of nuclear weapons ... "
" I have yet to be disappointed by Vince Flynn to deliver an exciting, character driven thriller. I'm a big fan of his work, and this one is no different. "
" Another great read by Mr. Flynn! "
" Great stuff - I think this is the first one that I read and it propelled me to read them all. If you were ever a fan of 24, you'll love this stuff! "
" Reading again in 2011 and getting more of the relationship to current events. "
" I love this genre...Vince Flynn is a master. Long live Mitch Rapp! :-) "
" Mitch Rapp at his very best. He's def one of my fav fictional characters of all time. "
" Vince Flynn books always good- political espionage thrillers that ring true for our times! "
" This is another Mitch Rapp (like Jack Ryan) book. He saves the world from terroists who are going to bomb Washington on Memorial Day at the unveiling of a war memorial. These are quick fun reads. No redeeming qualities, but fun. "
" Another awesome book in the Mitch Rapp series! "
" You can't go wrong with Flynn's books. "
" Not Vince Flynn's best work. It took over 200 pages for the action to begin but once it took off it was typical Mitch Rapp and who doesn't love Mitch Rapp "
" Bombs in washington and mitch to the rescue. Takes no prisoners either. "
" Good read. Predictable fight terrorist story. "
" Mitch Rapp is bad to the bone! "
" This was an eye opener for me. I know that this type of "covert"ops happen, but this was a little too real for me. The Author is a great writer and the novel is well written, but a little too much"real" for me. "
" My first of the series so I'm ramping up but it was quite good and a bit better that the similar Nelson DeMille series on the Lion (Lybian terrorist working on USA turf) "
" 6th book in series. My least favorite, too far-fetched with this one! "
" It's very scary if someone can get a nuke into this country this easily! "
" I always enjoy this genre of book. Didn't disappoint. "
" Meh - not the best in the series by any stretch. Never really believed the plot would be successful. "
" not as good as his other Mitch Rapp books "
" Great book, a rollercoaster from start to finish. If you read Jack Reacher books, you must read this book!!! "
" It was good maybe a little farfecthed. "
" Loved it! Mitch Rapp is back to being Mitch Rapp! "
" Great book. It was exciting to the end. On to the next adventure with Mitch Rapp. "
" So good I read it twice, once when it came out, then again, when I went back & read the series from book one... "
" Very good. Realistic enough to make me concerned about the plausibility. Definitely interested in more from this author. "
" Flynn takes some suspension of belief from the reader, but not as much as dan brown. Good page turner for a beach vacation. "
" Great book, interesting from page 1 through to the end. And so much of it rings true. "
" I love Mitch Rapp. I hope there are real Mitch Rapps out there that are savings us everyday! If you like th show 24 you will like this book. "
" Scary but thrilling at the same time "
