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)

Thrilling story!

Any additional comments?

No

Not burdened by prior readings

What did you love best about Transfer of Power?

I read the reveiws, and everyone seems to have locked into George Guidall as the voice of Mitch Rapp. Since I had never listened to any of the other readings, I was not burdened by Guidall's voice being that of Rapp. I thoroughly enjoyed Sullivan's rendition. I don't blame Sullivan for disappointing those who are Guidall fans. Now, when I listen to Guidall reading the Rapp voice, I may be saying that he is not as good as Sullivan. Who knows! This risk of listening to a book, like that of watching a movie of a book...

So thumbs to this novel and the reader.

Thank you Mr. Flynn

Didn't know there is a chronological order. Wondering what happened to Stan Hurley and my girl Greta.

Best Book I've Heard Yet

Any additional comments?

Wrap up could have been a little more complete but this was a good book.

WOW! My favorite so far

I absolutely LOVE this book! It is definitely my favorite in this series so far. The narrator was very hard to listen to though; he was so monotone and just plain drab. However, as the story progressed, he either got better or I just got used to his ho-hum style of reading.

nice very nice

I have listened to all of the books so far when's the new one coming out. thanks

great book

Really enjoying this series. Looking forward to the book in the series. Reading them chronological, instead of order they were written.
all in all, a great series thus far.

loved it
