Publisher's summary

On a busy Washington morning, the stately calm of the White House is shattered in a deadly terrorist attack on the executive mansion. The president is evacuated to an underground bunker, but not before nearly 100 hostages are taken.

Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top counterterrorism operative, is sent in to take control of the crisis and determines that the president is not as safe as Washington’s power elite had thought. Indeed, Rapp has made a chilling discovery that could rock Washington to its core: someone within his own government wants his rescue attempt to fail.

Hear Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top operative, battle global terrorism in more of Vince Flynn's political thrillers.
©1999 Vince Flynn (P)2011 Simon & Schuster

Critic reviews

"Endless intrigue... Flynn mixes in a spicy broth of brutal terrorists, heroic commandos, and enough secret-agent hijinks to keep the confrontation bubbling until its flag-raising end." ( Publishers Weekly)
" Transfer of Power emerges in its sense of authenticity, depth of research, and almost seamless dramatic scenario....One of Flynn's finest skills as an up-and-coming young master of the genre of political thrillers is his ability to create a cast of compelling characters." ( Bookpage)

A must read

If you are a thriller fan this is a must read. Great story. A wild ride from start to finish. Late to discover this series of books. Cannot wait to start the next one.

Good Story, Bad Narration

The Mitch Rapp novels are ALWAYS entertaining, but this narrator leaves much to be desired. His cadence is perfectly fine, but the voices he intends to impart on the characters sound like they’re coming out of a bad 1950’s mob movie. George Guidall has set the bar high so likely no one will ever get to that level in Vince Flynn’s novels, but it seems that Simon & Shuster went to try and save some money with this narrator.

Vince certainly knows how to keep your interest. Another Great story. Unfortunately a sub-par narration.

Mitch Rapp Is one of the best CIA characters written.

Vince Flynn weaves the story better than any Persian carpet, Weaver. Irene Kennedy is just the right balance for Mitch.

fast paced intriguing

I like how the story line picks up from the previous book. Highlights that there are bad politicians in every turn but the good win out in the end.
