Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—soon to be a major motion picture
“The voice of today’s postmodern thriller generation” (The Providence Journal), Vince Flynn rocketed onto bestseller lists nationwide with this “ingenious” (Florida Times-Union) fusion of DC politics and riveting suspense.
In one bloody night, three of Washington’s most powerful politicians are executed with surgical precision. Their assassins then deliver a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside partisan politics and restore power to the people. No one, they warn, is out of their reach—not even the president. A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O’Rourke, a former US Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence: a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country’s future…

"Probably because it was his first book, not as taut and gripping as his books on Mitch Rapp. But it is a great read nonetheless. His portrayal of politics in America was very good, and his character development was awesome. This is "a-not-to-be-missed" kind of book."
— Anup (4 out of 5 stars)

Term Limits Listener Reviews
-
" Very fun read! It's like an episode of 24. It has it all--corrupt politicians, clean politicians, the FBI, the CIA, government-hired assassins, etc. Light, non-taxing reading, but very fun. "
— Erin, 2/20/2014 -
" Great book! Scary plot (maybe a little too close to reality). Fast paced. Ulta right wing perspective. "
— Rob, 2/16/2014 -
" good - vince flynn books are fun to read "
— Marybeth, 2/13/2014 -
" Amazing read!!! Congress needs term limits. "
— Mark, 2/9/2014 -
" Page turner. Didn't stray too much from the story, which was nice. "
— Jonathan, 1/31/2014 -
" I loved this book, well written, well thought out, and I admit I liked the idea of politicians being held accountable. "
— Elizabeth, 1/30/2014 -
" Though written a decade ago, a lot of the issues in this book apply to today. Was a little disappointed that the author didn't come up with any solutions. Aside from that, a fine read. Great plot, lots of twists and turns, etc. "
— Abel, 1/20/2014 -
" Very entertaining even though I don't support the methods the major characters condoned. "
— Darren, 1/11/2014 -
" Politically the guy is further to the right than the proverbial Attila the Hun... but if you like vigilante, flag waving shoot 'em up fiction, Flynn's work is fast and furious reading. This comment applies across the board to all of his work. "
— Stuart, 1/8/2014 -
" far-fetched, but interesting. the part about the politicians was probably right on - for the most part they only care about themselves. "
— Joe, 12/26/2013 -
" I loved this book! Very interesting, who-done-it in the political world. Must say I agree with Vince's politics. Love him...have seen him on a couple of interviews. He has the insider track with what really happens in Washington!! "
— Heather, 12/8/2013 -
" I hated this book. I rarely hate books, but this one was horrible. The main protagonist constantly rationalizes the use of political assassination as a reasonable course of action. Not my cup of tea. "
— Chris, 10/19/2013 -
" A quick and entertaining read (and topical) but provided no incentive to root for any character - all were unappealing. I was reading an old ARC I must have picked up years ago so hope the grammatical errors were fixed, but overall I found the book poorly edited and repetitive in places. "
— CLM, 10/12/2013 -
" First V. Flynn book and it was great. I am working my way through the rest now. "
— Kim, 7/25/2013 -
" Very entertaining and at the same time makes you ask the question... "What if?" "
— Daniel, 5/22/2013 -
" Good thriller. I'm looking forward to the subsequent "Mitch Rapp" series that followed. "
— Kelekolio, 5/11/2013 -
" intriguing also made me angry "
— Eleanor, 4/9/2013 -
" Goodness, this might just be the best Vince Flynn book ever, only problem with it is that I have now read them all! I want more!!!! "
— Bronsont, 2/28/2013 -
" Wow, checked this out at the library randomly before a work trip and LOVED it. His flow of writing was excellent. Explained complicated concepts in an easy to understand, interesting way. If I come across any of his other writing I will snag it right up. "
— Sonnet, 2/23/2013 -
" Loved the intensity of this book. My first by Vince Flynn. Can't wait to read others. "
— SherryA, 2/4/2013 -

— Deborah, 9/30/2012 -

— Kathy, 7/19/2012 -
" Shades of Obama and his gang. "

— Angie, 7/10/2012 -
" A great thriller with a political back ground. Very enjoyable. A fun and easy read. Don't start unless you have the time to get to the end. "
— Joel, 12/26/2011 -
" Interesting read, it was written in 1997 but read like today. The premise is that the political and economic climate is bad and some people decide to fix it. "
— Jan, 12/21/2011 -
" Non stop action from start to finish. Makes you really think about politics and where the country is going. "
— Mike, 9/20/2011 -
" I enjoy the pacing but have to set aside my feelings when some of the conservative rationales keep popping up. Otherwise a good yarn. "
— Bonnie, 9/1/2011 -
" Bad people killed in the gov?t "
— Dan, 4/27/2011 -
" Liked it very much. It started me to read all of Vince Flynn's "

— Wade, 4/14/2011 -
" Excellent start. Ending not quite as good, but overall the book was a fun read. "
— Thardcastle, 4/11/2011 -
" Guys get "ahold" of yourselves. This book is not that good. I see the point of out of control congressmen wasting hard earned freedom without regard. Too drawn out...made up words...poor grammar. Just could have been better. Think I'm finally done with Vince Flynn. "
— Adam, 4/10/2011 -
" Very intense and fast paced. It was a tad long (but not in an extraneous way), but otherwise a great read! "
— Kona, 4/5/2011 -
" My very favorite Vince Flynn novel! "
— Lefox, 3/19/2011 -
" Truly awful. Good for an ad-hoc napkin. "
— Lee, 3/12/2011 -
" A quick read for the airplane - good plot but not particularly well written. Actually 2 1/2 stars but I was feeling generous. Didn't actually finish but it's not worth it. Time for something new. "
— Jeff, 2/25/2011
