Resumen del Editor

Mitch Rapp and his protege, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for 16 years first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives.

But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.

Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

Why was this book edited?

This is my 11th Mitch Rapp audible book. It's like Vince Flynn phoned it in. And where is George Goodall?
After a little research I realized this book was drastically edited. I feel like I've been sold a fraudulent book with a reader who is an imposter. If this was my first Mitch Rapp book I would never have bought another one.

Disappointed with this version

I didn't realize that I purchased the abridged version. It left holes in the story. I was also disappointed by the narrator. I felt like this was his first book read. Missed George Guidall who in my opinion is one of the best book narrators I've listened to.

Lots of the book was skipped

I am reading the book at the same time as listening and I realized that there are many pages and chapters skipped.
The story is amazing but the performance was horable.

too many cut scenes and gaps in story line.

story could have been so much better if it werent for the gaps and holes in the story line. felt like entire portions of story was cut out.
