Act of Treason

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

It's a gorgeous autumn day in Georgetown. The Democratic candidates for president and vice-president of the United States are dutifully glad-handing voters and the media outside a grand estate where a national-security conference has just been held, bringing together the world's greatest minds to discuss the issues that are threatening the country. It's American politicking at its best. That's when all hell breaks loose.

When presidential candidate Josh Alexander's motorcade is ambushed by a group of terrorists, the nation is thrown into turmoil. Two weeks following the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. On the surface, it appears to be the work of al-Qaeda, and soon the FBI and the rest of the government begin scouring the world for jihadists. But then CIA Director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon are presented with classified information so toxic that they consider destroying it altogether, as it contains intelligence pointing to some of the most powerful players in Washington.

Enter Mitch Rapp, the one man reckless enough to follow the evidence to its explosive conclusion. His journey takes him through the shadowy world of contract killers, into the darkest corners of the globe, and eventually back to Washington, where the fragile pillars of power are shaken to the core.

Don't miss more thrillers by Vince Flynn.

Critic reviews

"[A] page turner....with...taut writing and [a] plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community." (Publishers Weekly)

OK

This story was difficult for me to follow. the least like of this series so far.

Fast Moving and Fun

If you like the show "24", you will enjoy this book. An exciting plot full of colorful characters. The tension level would have been higher if the hero had been a little more flawed or conflicted or at least not so darn invinceable. But it was still a fun listen.

Review

Good story; couldn't predict how it was all going to end until I finished the book
Vince Flynn tells a good story.

A Good one

I really enjoyed this book. It did not disappoint me, but neither has any other Vince Flynn book. The more I listen the more I wanted to hear. It was one of those that you wanted to listen all the way through without interuptions. I highly recommend this one.

Riviting, couldn't put it down

This is the first audio book that I actually spent time in my driveway after I got home and listened to. It was fast paced and gripping, Vince Flynn keeps your attention non-stop throughout. The narrator also brought great acting skills to the read, he completed the thrill ride. I wish the older books were unabridged as I now want to go back and catch up on this great series. Hope the publishers are listening.
