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.

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)

Awesome and Amazing

I loved it. Fast moving exciting, and very informative. Great story. I spent 4 years in the military and from my perspective everything was believable and realistic. This is the third book I've listened to in the Rapp series and they've all been excellent.

Compelling Story

I was introduced to this series by listening to Consent To Kill. Once I listened to that novel, I binge-read every book in the series, going back to the beginning. Though I have a slight bias, being introduced to the series by a later book, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. If you are looking for a great listen/read that you can't put down, you can't go wrong with this one.

The story keeps you on edge, the whole time!

I loved this story. The stress and excitement runs from beginning to end. So much fun!

Book Great Narrator no so....

I love these Vince Flynn novels. This is the original beginning of the Mitch Rapp series. Unfortunatly the reader is not the same as in the last 8 novels in this series. Still the book w/ the reader is worth knowing the story. I recommend it.

another winning thriller

good story but with some loose ends... what happened to the Thief of Bagdad outside the Bunker? and the Delta Force inserted just the fire bombs went off?

Disappointing

I have just recently fallen in love with Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp Series. Being an Audible subscriber, I listen to almost everything. I flew through the first two books in this series. This book, however, was read by a different narrator. The voices were unbelievable, as in hard to believe. The overall performance just felt too stuffy and formal for me to enjoy. Sorry.

Good but not great

Not as good as the first 2 in the series. I enjoyed the book, but did not enjoy the narrator as much as the first 2.

Great Story Around An Invasion of The White House

An exciting story about an invasion of the White House by Terrorists, complete with backround about the White House Structure and historical modifications to it plus twists and turns in the plot - and Mitch Rapp coming to the rescue of the President and eliminating the evil terrorist. Realistic descriptions to an adventurous fanatsy!

Fantastic!!!

loved the book. was definitely not a fan of the narrator. Enjoyed George G much more.

Good read

Great book, good story line and the reader was excellent. Can’t wait for the next book!
