Pursuit of Honor

Mitch Rapp Series

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's summary

The action begins six days after a series of explosions devastated Washington, D.C., targeting the National Counterterrorism Center and killing 185 people, including public officials and CIA employees. It was a bizarre act of extreme violence that called for extreme measures on the part of elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his trusted team member, Mike Nash.

Now that the initial shock of the catastrophe is over, key Washington officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the agents who stepped between the enemy's bullets and countless American lives regardless of the legal consequences. Not for the first time, Rapp finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians whose view from the sidelines is inevitably obstructed.

Meanwhile, three of the al Qaeda terrorists are still at large, and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary. No one knows the personal, physical, and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp. When he sees Nash cracking under the pressure of the mission and the memories of the horrors he witnessed during the terrorist attack, he makes a call he hopes will save his friend, assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill, and get him one step closer to the enemy before it's too late.

Once again, Rapp proves himself to be a hero unafraid "to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence" (The Salt Lake Tribune) for our country's safety, for the sake of freedom, for the pursuit of honor.

Critic reviews

"Flynn demonstrates that he truly understands the psyche of the enemy.... Really scary, so realistic." (BookReporter.com)

Flynn at his best.

Mitch Rapp is the hero we all need but don't even know exists. Another well written novel by Vince Flynn. Another excellent read by the master, George Guidall.

Revenge vs. Honor

If you could sum up Pursuit of Honor in three words, what would they be?

Revenge, Torture, and Redemption

What other book might you compare Pursuit of Honor to and why?

This series is a grittier, dirty version of the Jack Ryan series by the late great Tom Clancy. Vince Flynn's book series of Mitch Rapp is reading like reading a companion style novel related to Clancy's Clark character. I have enjoyed listening to this series and am sad because of the loss of a great author and the end of a enjoy character based book series.

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Guidall brings an easy listening style to the book even when the world is going crazy and the action is going 10 miles a minute that allows the reader/listener to keep all the plot points in order. I have enjoyed listening to his narration and plan to look for other books he has narrated to maybe find a new author.

Any additional comments?

This was a good follow up book to the last Rapp book and leads right into the last book in the series. I would recommend this book to any thriller reader especially military thriller reader.

Classic Rapp

Great story, well read. We need more Mr. Rapps in this world! If you have came this far in this series, I’m sure you agree with me!

Best Flynn Yet

If you are fan of Mitch Rapp and Vince Flynn you don't even have need to think about this one, it's a winner. If you haven't read any of Vince Flynn's books this should defiantly get you hooked.

One of my favorite authors and one of his best books. I almost had to take time off work to finish this one.

They just keep getting better.

I hope that there are a couple real Mitch Rapps out there in the real world. Vince Flynn has to be one of my favorite writers.

Typical Flynn

I've enjoyed each and every one of Vince Flynn's books. This one was no exception. Kept me engaged throughout. I will say that the ending felt a little rushed and somewhat predictable but nonetheless I highly recommend this book. The one complaint - I have to wait another YEAR before his next book?!
