Publisher's summary

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield—a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins—which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one’s pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

Hear Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top operative, battle global terrorism in more of Vince Flynn's political thrillers.

Critic reviews

"Flynn hits his stride in this thriller about high-end Washington politics...[he] has an exciting, Ludlum-like series going here." ( Booklist)

"Flynn's latest thriller...is an old-school spy story...updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal." ( Library Journal)

"Fans of Ludlum and Clancy will want to check it out.' ( Pioneer Press)

Great Read

This was a very intriguing listen. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Great installment with a cliff hanger of an ending

Another great addition to the Mitch Rapp series. A great cliffhanger about political espionage and intrigue. If you like Mitch Rapp, you won't be disappointed!

Narrator Dissapointing

I just finished this book after reading all Vince Flynn's other unabridged books. I have been an Audible listener since May 2001 and have found that a great book in audible format is only as good as the narrator. Nick Sullivan was alright. George Guidell is great. Scott Brick and Dick Hill are fabulous. I found the ending to this book to be strange to the point that I had to re-read the end of Part II to make sure I didn't miss the end. I checked on the next Flynn book and find the narrator is a "no name" and makes Mitch Rapp sound like a wimp. Not Good and like other Audible listeners, I am passing on the next Flynn book in audible format and any future ones unless the narrator changes back to George Guidell. I will read Flynn books in paperback until the narrator changes.

Five stars all the way around!!

I am addicted to the author and this Mitch Rapp series!! I can't wait to finish one book and move on to the next!!!!

great story, I thought the narrator was just fine.

another great mitch rapp book, and the narrator did a great job. obviously George guidall is the king of audiobooks, but nick held his own, I would happily listen to him read the rest of the series.

Leaves you hanging on for more

If you could sum up The Third Option in three words, what would they be?

Leaves you hanging for more and a great ending

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mitch Rapp he is the best

What does Nick Sullivan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Helps you understand the story

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

One of the best books ever

What about the ending?

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but, a conclusion was expected. After following the characters for hours I was left wondering. I’m in happy because there was no ending to what was up Until then a great story. Whether I will buy another in the series is now question.

Can't Get Enough of This Series.

Thoroughly enjoying this series. Lots of intrigue, action and plot twists. Can't wait to start the next book

Even better the THIRD time

I have started the whole series over again and it like fine wine... gets better every time. If you follow the series in order, the only changes is in the Narrator.... Go get them Mitch

Where is the ending?

Would you try another book from Vince Flynn and/or Nick Sullivan?

I liked this book until I got to the ending. I hate movies and books that don't tie up loose ends. It is an obvious ploy to force me to buy the next book to see how it ends. It's very disappointing end to an otherwise very good book. I did not like Nick Sullivan's voice at normal speed. I needed to listen to it at 1.5 speed. At that speed it was much better.

How could the performance have been better?

Get a different narrator.

Could you see The Third Option being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Any additional comments?

A different narrator would improve the listening pleasure of this book.
