Publisher Description

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

An exhilarating political thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn, praised as “the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there today” (The Providence Journal).

When Washington, DC’s National Counterterrorism Center is struck by a series of devastating explosions, the results are catastrophic—185 killed, including public officials and CIA employees. Such an act of extreme violence calls for extreme measures—and elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, joining forces with trusted team member Mike Nash, finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to government officials up in arms over the agents who rushed in to save countless American lives. Meanwhile, with three al Qaeda terrorists still at large and Nash traumatized by the horrors he witnessed during the attack, Rapp must help his friend while threading his way through the naysayers on Capitol Hill—and silently, swiftly, do what he must for the sake of his country and the pursuit of honor.

"I love all of the Mitch Rapp stories. I've read most of them twice. Now I've ordered all the books on cd so my husband can listen to them as we take a 1800 mile road trip. I want him to hear them all in order since the stories build on each other. Of all the books my favorite is Transfer of Power. I can see that story unfold as I read it. Try reading the books in order and you'll enjoy them even more."

    " This is my first book from Vince Flynn and honestly, I found it quite disappointing. I did not really get into the story for some reason. From what I've heard, Flynn's books are supposedly amazing but from my experience, this book was just another walk in the park, just saying. Nevertheless, I would definitely give Flynn another try just to be fair. "

    " I am a huge Vince Flynn fan, but sadly this book disappointed me, it revolved too much around the political arena which made it hard to follow the actual thread of the story. I have always loved the character Mitch Rapp, but did not like how he was portrayed in this book, to me it was bordering on character assassination, not sure if Vince Flynn is planning to retire him, if that is the case I would rather see him go out in a blaze of glory "

    " This is a great follow-up to Extreme Measures. It has all the right elements -- suspense, mystery, political intrigue and betrayal -- combined with a sharp-edged focus on current issues in the war on terror. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. "

    " I've read several of the books in this series out of order. I didn't like the way that some facts that appear in American Assassin are are contradicted or at least portrayed differently in this book. I might not have noticed the incongruity if I had read the books chronologically. Also, there was a lot of political emphasis in this story which I felt muddied the waters and distracted from what little espionage there actually was in the book. I didn't really care about all the medals of honor or fighting senators and found it aggravating. "

    " Any Mitch Rapp story is always a thrilling read, but like some other reviewers, I found the ending of this one to be too predictable, hence 4 stars instead of 5. But Pursuit of Honor is still a fun read and Mitch Rapp is one of my favorite spy guys. "

    " I set this book aside when it became clear the author was overwhelming the story with his need to preach his own opinions about such controversial subjects as immigration, abortion, and on and on. Not what I was looking for in a thriller. "

This book however felt like an continuation of the last book. Just more info and less story. It could have been better. "
