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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " 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. "
