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.

Critic reviews

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

Big Vince Flynn Fan

Another fine story about righteousness and justice. Yes there is violence and swear words in this book, so if you don't like either, pass on this one.

Otherwise, this book delivers on blistering entertainment and all about "getting the job done" in and efficient and brilliant manner.

I'm a Vince Flynn fan and this one is in the top quartile of Flynn books.

A fine performance by George Guidall to boot!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Another Mitch Rapp Thriller!

The thing about Mitch Rapp novels is that that they never, at least so far... seem to be too redundant. Flynn was an expert at coming up with new and believable plot lines and twists. He is really missed. As usual, George Guidall's narration was outstanding!

A fun thriller

This series tends to be a bit one dimensional, but at the same time they are quite fun and hold my interest. This was an especially good book as it continues where the previous book leaves off and tidies up some of the lose ends nicely.

Marvellous

Another of Vince Fliynn''s very best .... I highly recommend it to any of you.

another good listen

this book just wasn't long enough really good the ending could have gone just a little bit longer though little more detail

Riveting story

I am an avid fan of Vince Flynn and, of course, Mitch Rapp. This series is incredible and I’m on my 2nd time listening. Act of Treason is another great installment and doesn’t disappoint. I find myself not wanting to stop listening...waiting in my parked car for the chapter to finish and making myself not fast forward to see what will happen. If you like action/adventure with a well thought out plot then you will love this book and this series. George Guidall is an exceptional narrator bringing each character to life.

Good Book

As always, Mitch gets it done! Vince Flynn was a great writer and I look forward to the next one in the series.

great listen

unlike some of the other books in the series, there wasn't a whole lot of action. However the action that was in the book was thrilling, but the plot really carried it. It was intriguing to get an inside look at politics and campaigns and the lengths people will go with their ambition. the narration was fantastic , and the writing was great.

Fast action

Really enjoyed this book. Twists and turns I did not expect. Recommend to people who like suspense. Flynn is a great writer for people in leisure

best series ever

absolutely love this series. Flynn did a great job with the entire series. this is one of the better story lines though.
