A Thriller

By: Vince Flynn

Length: 12 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

Mitch Rapp and his protege, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for 16 years first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives.

But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.

Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

Gotta love Mitch Rapp!

Listening to the whole series in order, they just keep getting better. Looking forward to the next book which I'm downloading now.

Another great Vince Flynn novel!

Always enjoy hearing how George Guidall brings all the characters to life! Excellent story keeps you gripped with each story line.

Another Masterpiece in the Genre

Vince Flynn in top form with exceptional narration by George Guidall. Ripped straight from the headlines, Vince presents a wake up call to the politically correct in Washington. A wild ride through the gritty work of keeping America safe.

Could not stop listening

Great story, will keep you engaged until the last page. Can't wait to start the next book.

Edge of your seat.....

Edge of your seat throughout! George Guidall brings the riveting mission of Rapp to life!

One of my favorites

I really enjoyed the story. Flynn dealt with the political divide that exists and people like the former CIA director Hayden have written about. In a nation of laws, how do we battle terrorism? What civil liberties do we extend to them?

Great thriller!

What did you love best about Extreme Measures?

Once again Vince Flynn succeeds in creating a storyline that engages and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Another great edition in the Mitch Rapp series.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

George Guidall is probably the best narrator around. He could read the telephone directory and I would listen to it! Another masterpiece by the master himself.

Excellent book

Great and entertaining read! Narration was excellent and the storyline was fantastic. The last 90 minutes left me feeling as tense as a first date. Well done!!

Awesome

This may be my favorite book and I truly enjoyed every moment of this story.

Terrific Plot Again

I couldn't wait to listen to this book. At the end I had the feeling that in his next book, Mitch Rapp is going to "throw in the towel" due to the policiticians and the PC environment. Mike Nash is probably going to be the next leading character for additional books.

This book had a sub story line in the character of Mike Nash and his home life. Although this added pages and chapters it did not do much for the story line, other than show the dedication of the men and women who really fight the war.

Another good book from Mr. Flynn but is not as focused on the story line as he was in the first or second book.

Still, for the fans of Flynn, the thrill continues.
