Publisher's summary

It's just seven days before Memorial Day, and a spike in CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States. Now it's up to counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp to pull out all the stops.

Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan, where he leads a special forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into a remote Pakistani village. Their target: an al-Qaeda stronghold. Rapp and his team soon discover plans for a catastrophic nuclear attack on Washington, DC. Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency support team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and disarmed and the danger has been averted. Or has it?

Mitch Rapp can't shake the feeling that the operation seemed just a bit too easy. Rapp follows his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth. What he finds is truly terrifying, and with Memorial Day closing fast, Rapp must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions.

Best of all Mitch Rapp Series

I've just gone through all of the Mitch Rapp books, and Memorial Day is by far the best, followed by American Assassin.

Could such an intelligent animal destroy ourselves?

Vince Flynn was the master of the answer to my above question. YES is the unfortunate answer and, Mitch Rapp and his breath taking account of how the world could be destroyed by foolish religious zealots paints the picture. Thanks for the captivating book Mr. Flynn

Vince Flynn does it again!

What a really great thriller… Literally on the edge of your seat for long stretches! Mitch Rapp is getting better with age & these tales of his & Director Kennedy’s joint Clandestine escapades do as well!! George Gouidall puts you Front & Center in every moment, with such a great grasp of the Author’s intent, and a masters touch with creating subtle nuances in voice acting!! 5***** Stars all around!!

Solid action

Really solid action. You’re never wanting as you read it, interesting development of the area of mind and the potential for actually bringing a new into the US. This is completely believable.

Could not stop listening.

This is another excellent and well written book by Vince Flynn. The pace is blistering. I could not stop listening until the book was done. I just slipped into the zone and enjoyed every moment. Great story line and I am afraid all too real. Highly recommended if you like the, Terrorists are coming to get us plots. This book does not disappoint. George Guidall is always excellent.
