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)

entertaining story

very typical Mitch Rapp story attention to detail has one believing it's going on enjoyable book

Great listen

Loved as usual. Noticed the barrette reference as noted in another review (towards the end when referencing the .50 cal rifle) pronounced incorrectly...as were some of the refs, but otherwise a wonderful story and use of voice changes for characters.

Keep it up.

Some scenes rediculously unbelievable

Just one example: In the middle of a climax action scene Rapp and Reilly stop and have a love conversation outside the door where a terrorist is on guard- supposed to be so sneaky and quiet- totally ridiculous and broke the spell of the action scene.

Other than a couple unplausable things like that it's a great story; lots of military detail.

Great book.

The book met all my expectations and was extremely enjoyable. Mitch Rapp is a great American. I like the way the extra characters are involved and the twist of faith for each of them plays of heroism. The narrative is good I still like a woman doing the woman's part.

Very Captivating Novel!

This was my 3rd Vince Flynn book, after the 1st two, I thought I should start at the beginning because they are soo good. I read many comments about this narrator and I agree he's not as good as Guidall, but he was ok. He didn't add to the story for sure. But the store is sooo good, he didn't take away from it either. Highly recommend this if you're a Flynn fan but just be aware it is a different narrator if you're use to George Guidall. Worth the purchase!!

then, the more you know that you are looking to buy the best way is fine, I have to tell them to the cow w

Action Packed

I loved this book from the first word. It's fast paced action oriented premised, laced with political intrigue makes the time fly by and left me wanting so much more. I overwhelmingly prefer George Guidall as the narrator, but I have to admit that Nick Sullivan did a great job.

Transfer of Power

Not bad. The narration was a bit dry and emotionless, but I suppose it fit the genre and story.

Amazing story

Great story. The narrators voice just isn’t it though. And this story is eye opening about the grossness of politics.

Awesome!!!

Can’t wait for the next book in the series to see what Mitch is up to next!
