CIA director Thomas Stansfield is dead -- and many individuals in the nation's capital are pleased to hear. However, their happiness is short-lived because Stansfield's successor -- his protégé Dr. Irene Kennedy -- plans on pursuing Stansfield's goals -- a fact Stansfield's fiercest enemies refuse to accept.
Israel has discovered that Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- and they've vowed to stop the Iraqi madman before he can get his hands on the ultimate weapon. With the Middle East teetering on the precipice of chaos and devastation, the president of the United States is forced to act.
The commander in chief's secret weapon? None other than the CIA's top counterterroism operative, Mitch Rapp. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, Rapp races against time and impossible odds -- navigating the deadly alleys of Baghdad, tearing through the corruption-riddled streets of Washing ton, D.C., and taking drastic measures against anyone who gets in his way.
With action that sizzles and true-to-life insider detail, Separation of Power showcases New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn at his shell-shocking best.

"Fun military/political thriller set in the time before the war with Iraq. Vince Flynn writes tense, exciting books about the CIA, terrorism, international relations, and Washington politics. I have enjoyed his work, and will continue to do so. Fun stuff."
— Michael (5 out of 5 stars)
“First-class political intrigue from a master storyteller.”
— Booklist" First three books were pretty good....this one not so much. Mainly due to the narrator.....completely aweful. "

— jeffrey, 1/24/2019" In the typical Vince Flynn fashion, this story leaves nothing for want. Great book!! "
— Darren, 3/12/2018" The third book in the Mitch Rapp series of political/espionage novels, and a very enjoyable one! It is fast, interesting, and has an intricate plot. "
— Joe, 2/17/2014" The story for this 3rd book was not as strong as the other 2 and that's why I rated it 4 stars. I enjoyed it still. "
— Aubrey, 2/2/2014" Hmmmmm. Okay but full of flat, predictable characters. "
— P, 2/2/2014" Another great book by Flynn in the Mitch Rapp series. Could have used a bit more action in this one - but still a great page turner. Will continue to read this series. "
— Todd, 1/27/2014" Another very good entry in the Mitch Rapp series. No break in the action, and lots of characters to root for or against. "
— Cheri, 1/21/2014" Read via book on CD. 3.5 stars. "
— TAMI, 1/16/2014" Page turner. I really liked it "

— Judy, 10/27/2013" Excellent fast paced plot. Intelligent dialogue. "
— Mailmanr5, 10/24/2013" A great read... Like all Vince Flynn's books. Once I started I couldn't put it down. If you like the good guy beats bad guy spy type espionage counterterrorism fictional stories. "
— Greg, 9/29/2013" Great book! Hard to put down! So many things in these books remind me of current events. "
— Janice, 9/26/2013" Started out slower than his previous books but it did not disappoint at all! Can't wait to read more about Mitch Rapp and CIA! "
— Justin, 9/20/2013" Another solid Mitch Rapp story. I really like this super spy. "
— Rita, 9/12/2013" Typical Rapp action - I do Vince Flynn in audio because they keep me awake on long commutes. This one did the trick nicely. My only disappointment was the final scene - seemed a little 'overkill' "
— Judy, 8/8/2013" I thought I had already listened to this book. then I wasn't sure. I had nothing else to listen to, so I persevered. No, I had NOT listened to it previously. I like the Mitch Rapp character, so I listened to the end. "
— Jean, 7/30/2013" So far, much better than I had expected! "
— Tosha, 5/10/2013" This was a good political thriller but kind of slow in spots. "
— Kathy, 2/20/2013" Mitch goes to Iraq to steal nuclear warheads. "
— Elaine, 10/31/2012" Good read. However, the dynamic between Rapp and Anna is nauseating at times. Can't we at least once have the hero of a book not be involved with the love of there life? I didn't think it was as good as the previous Rapp novels "
— Nathan, 9/30/2012" 4 star story line, 3 star editing. And Baltimore's airport is BWI, not BIA. "
— L, 9/13/2012" Good airplane reading. Nothing too complex. "
— Matt, 8/30/2012" The Mitch Rapp series is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. This book has some interactions with Mossad. "
— Natalie, 8/10/2012" Good one. Assassin killing assassin killing assassin. Great adventure! "
— Chetta, 2/26/2012" A great way to pass the time until Nelson DeMille writes another book. Once you read one Vince Flynn, you gotta read them all. Espionage thrillers! Be sure to read them in order of earliest written to latest written. "
— Kathy, 11/12/2011" Each book just gets better and better. The improved character development and political intrigue just adds to the action of this techno thriller. The author has hit his stride! "
— Edgeton, 9/1/2011" Mitch Rapp is one of my all-time favorite fiction characters! Like Vince Flynn's writing style slightly better than D. Baldacci; all of his books are easy, fast reads. "
— Lindsay, 5/6/2011" Another decent entry in this series. I am finding it harder and harder to focus on these books so maybe I'll take a break from them for a while and come back to them if I can. "
— Jc, 5/2/2011" Another very good entry in the Mitch Rapp series. No break in the action, and lots of characters to root for or against. "

— Matt, 3/29/2011" My favorite of the series so far. "
— Greg, 3/12/2011" I really enjoy Vince Flynn's character, Mitch Rapp. Books are almost always fast-moving and well-paced suspense novels. "
— Cheri, 2/22/2011" Now onto book 3. Love snow days. "
— Dolores, 2/4/2011" Another great Mitch Rapp thriller! This seris is hard to put down, and e-readers make it too easy to buy all the books in the series and just keep reading. "
— Brian, 1/21/2011" Fast paced. Resolved some plot lines that needed trimming. Some of his characters are a bit charactured. "
