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)

Great plot but maybe I missed something

The story line with the plot and familiar characters was great. However i jumps 10 yrs ahead from the last time we heard from Mitch Rapp... I just found that be odd. Other than that great book. Would have loved George to have read this book like he did the first two but not a deal breaker for me. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

another solid read

Another fine Flynn page turner and Mitch Rapp, or should I say Mr. Cruz does not disappoint. Stanfield is a cagey statesman as usual and unlike the recent movie fiascos, this assault on the white house is a bit more realistic.

Sullivan was a welcomed narrator compared to other audible narrators I have experienced.

Great store

Great book for travel holds your attention to the fullest. Could not have made a better choice

Gripping.

Would you listen to Transfer of Power again? Why?

No. The suspense wouldn't be there the second time.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. Rapid pace of events in the book.

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

The voices.

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

The siege of 1600

Great story, did not like the narration.

The voice used for Rapp was completely wrong for his character and was whiny and arrogant like the vice president's Chief of Staff. Was disturbing the whole story.

Read this book many years ag!

Excellent read, second time around; however, George Guidahl would have made it the winner the other books were!

Amazing Series

I often find myself re-listening to the few book series' that I love because it so hard to find another good book series. By chance I was reading the reviews of another book and someone mentioned Mitch Rapp and the Gray Man in the same sentence. I loved the Gray Man series and decided to give Mitch Rapp a chance. So Far I have been hooked. The Mitch Rapp series far exceeds what I hoped for and completely recommend it to anyone.

still a classic

The first Mitch Rapp novel. it's still one of my favorites. Thrilling to the very end.

Don’t like narrator

Story as always was great. Struggled listening to narrator, felt he was just reading instead of telling story.

One of the early stories..

Much better writing and stories than the last couple books. Recommended for fans of Vince Flynn.
