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.

Critic reviews

"The king of high-concept political intrigue." (Dan Brown)

"You'll be hooked....Move over, Jack Ryan!" ( Portland Oregonian)

Awesome Story.

I can't say enough about this exciting story. First, George Guidal is the best when it comes to narration. I believe he could make a marginal story great just by his skills as a narrator. The story was intense, the pace was perfect and the (new) characters were introduced and developed just enough to identify them throughout the story with getting confused. I really enjoyed the consistency of the main characters. Flynn/Guidal makes them familiar without being predictable. The story truly justifies Mitch Rapp's passion and the conviction of the antagonists. I loved the story and would highly recommend it to Flynn fans old and new.

A good listen

Really enjoyed it. Wish they'd spring for male and female narrators. That is just a pet peeve of mine. Other than that criticism I liked it a lot.

Best of the series...so far!

I just finished this audio book and the story was amazing and lured me further in with each chapter. I can’t wait to start book 8. George Guidall is a masterful narrator!

Always a treat!

action packed Mitch Rapp is the embodiment of the American Spirt and drive. action packed excitement with the usual political morons getting in the way. two thumbs up

Best one yet

I started Vince Flynn's series with American Assassin, then went back to beginning and listened to the books in order, and I think this was my favorite story so far (with exception of American Assassin). Great performance as well. Very entertaining.

Excellent

Great story telling. Following all the books in chronological order written by author. watch the characters grow in the book

Highly recommended

I particularly enjoy Memorial Day for 2 reasons: first after listening to 3 disastrous narrations, the expertise of George Guidall, his pacing and accurate intonation are absolutely delightful. It’s Storytelling at its best!
Memorial Day is an excellent story. Even listening to it for the third or fourth time, I still experience the same interest and anticipation I did the first time and could not put it down-so to speak. There is a sense of discomfort in knowing this could easily be a real threat we could be facing without a Mitch Rapp-like hero to watch our backs!
