Act of Treason

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

It's a gorgeous autumn day in Georgetown. The Democratic candidates for president and vice-president of the United States are dutifully glad-handing voters and the media outside a grand estate where a national-security conference has just been held, bringing together the world's greatest minds to discuss the issues that are threatening the country. It's American politicking at its best. That's when all hell breaks loose.

When presidential candidate Josh Alexander's motorcade is ambushed by a group of terrorists, the nation is thrown into turmoil. Two weeks following the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. On the surface, it appears to be the work of al-Qaeda, and soon the FBI and the rest of the government begin scouring the world for jihadists. But then CIA Director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon are presented with classified information so toxic that they consider destroying it altogether, as it contains intelligence pointing to some of the most powerful players in Washington.

Enter Mitch Rapp, the one man reckless enough to follow the evidence to its explosive conclusion. His journey takes him through the shadowy world of contract killers, into the darkest corners of the globe, and eventually back to Washington, where the fragile pillars of power are shaken to the core.

Critic reviews

"[A] page turner....with...taut writing and [a] plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community." (Publishers Weekly)

bad ending

maybe because I am reading this in mid 2019 amid several years of a corrupt president and his cronies so I wish the ending had been different SPOILER ALERT: I think the public needs to know when their elected officials and their staff are corrupt. Yes I realize this is fiction but circles around todays politics. they had proof, it was not subjective, and it needed to divulged. other than that a good story as usual and a perfect read by George Guidall

Huge Mitch fan however this is now my favorite

Great story and performance. Thus now has to be my favorite Mitch sequel. Cant wait for the next one.

Great!

Anything that Vince Flynn writes that is narrated by George Guidall will be something that you listen to over and over.

Thanks for the great entertainment! I hope there can be more to this series in the future. A movie would be great also

haven't had a bad Vince Flynn book yet

Good not great

As with each one up to now it’s good. It’s worth the time it’s just not great. The little things in the details. Like once again calling SEALs “special forces” and not special operations. The narrator saying “GV” with referring to a Gulf Stream V (5). Should say G5, like Mitch flew in on G5 not the GV.
Book is worth your time and I’m almost done with the next in series as well and I will finish entire series. I do two books a week, one NF almost always by former “special operations “ and one fiction.

Amazing Story

It started out slow for me but instantly picked up. I felt like a fast read. I never liked Ross I knew he would end up being a real traitor. I wish he got a little more harm or embarrassment done to him.

Must listen!!

I love this entire series!! It is a must listen or read!!! I have been listening since book 1.

Great Book

This was probably my favorite plot thus far. Can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.

ending

good story line with surprising ending. characters being fleshed out overtime. I really enjoy this series consistently entertaining
