Publisher's summary

Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the American President's term. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race - something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the president calls on his secret weapon: top counter-terrorism operative Mitch Rapp. But with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock - and impossible odds.

Take another thrill ride with Mitch Rapp.

Critic reviews

"First-class political intrigue from a master storyteller." ( Booklist)

Couldn't Get Past the Narrator

I was willing to see past the negative reviews about the narrator's performance, assuming they were somewhat embellished. Boy, was I wrong! His voice is like nails on a chalk board. He makes all of the characters sound bitchy, and effeminately-robotic. It's kind of like having angry C3P0 read you a bedtime story. I'm sure the story's great, but I'll have to actually read this one, because I couldn't make it past chapter three listening to this narrator.

The narrater of this book was very dissapointing.

What did you like best about Separation of Power? What did you like least?

I am a fan of vince Flynn

What did you like best about this story?

I am a Mitch Rap fan

Would you be willing to try another one of Ken Kliban’s performances?

NO..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was Separation of Power worth the listening time?

I almost stopped listening because of the narrater... I thought Ceorge Godell narrated Vince Flynn?

Any additional comments?

I have been a long time member of Audible ...This is the first time I am commenting on a read. (Listen). Scott Brick Is probably your best narrater

One step forward

Finally a narrator who can pronounce Anna's name properly (not as really), but this one can't pronounce lived. sigh

Awful narrator for this series

The narrrator was not a good match for this series. Guidal is much better. The story line is okay... but not a great book from the rapp series.

Mitch Rapp is meant to be read by George Guidell

I can usually burn through a Mitch Rapp story is 2 or 3 days but it took over a week listening to this nasally twerp narrating. Gods what were you thinking. I almost deleted and didn't finish after the first 10 minutes but I just love the saga too much to miss anything. I wish I had read it like the good old days so I didn't get this alter ego Clark Kent/ Superman duality image of Mitch stuck in my head

Not sure i can finish this book

I am a big fan of Vince Flynn books and love Mitch, but the narrator is so bad I am not sure I can finish the book. If Ken KIlban had started reading the Mitch stories I would have never gotten into the series. I didn't know how important the narrator was until I listened to this book. My advice is to skip this book and more on to another one of the series.

Another great entry

What made the experience of listening to Separation of Power the most enjoyable?

Flynn's excellent story telling.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Become completely wrapped up (no pun intended) in story.

What didn’t you like about Ken Kliban’s performance?

Boring voice - almost stopped listening

Any additional comments?

Love this series.

Bad reader

Reader made Mitch rapp sound like Steve urkle. Story was good, but the reader distracted me.

Amazing story, but narrator isn't very good.

The story is amazing as with all Rapp reads, but the narrator it's not very good at all, one of the worst I've heard.

Did not like the narrator

The story is great. I have have read or listened to all the Mitch Rapp books and love them.

I did not enjoy this narrator. There wasn't much distinction among the characters voices and he made most of them sound made or petty most of the time. This book could definitely use a remake.
