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.

Good read!

I have two more books to go and I can't wait to get through them. Vince Flynn is an extraordinary writer. The Mitch Rapp series is a must read. Go out a get it today.

Sobering message well delivered

Vince Flynn did a great job of conveying the risk of lapsing into naivety. We
Love in a time where people just do not comprehend that there are truly wicked people out there that want nothing more than to harm innocent people.

Slow to get going.

I almost returned this book several times. The beginning, for me, was just not capturing my attention. It was slow and the reader, who I enjoy, has a monotone voice that made the beginning painful. I stuck with it and quickly became invested in the story.

I am glad I stuck with it.

Full of action and a satisfying ending.

One of my favorites. Probably my third time listening to it! The satisfaction through the majority of these novels is pretty awesome. Some a little slow, but not this one.

Great book

As always the Mitch Rapp series is fantastic I love the realism and the plot line

My favorite Mitch Rapp book so far

Deeper dive into the life of other characters. A more realistic view of wha they need to deal with, Mitch is still Mitch but slightly wiser, the action is great. All around one of the better Mitch Rapp books so far.

Riveting

Awesome book. Absolutely riveting; kept me on the edge on my seat for the entire book!

Great read

This book is hard to put down. Once one starts to read it. I highly recommend it.
