From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin comes a pulse-pounding thriller that “is an old school spy story…updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal” (Library Journal) and puts CIA agent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.

When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take a third option and Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an “unofficial” task—targeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor.

But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp realizes he’s been deemed an expendable asset in a power struggle on home turf: the battle over who will become the successor of the dying CIA director. But no one counted on Mitch Rapp’s return…or how far he’ll go to find out who set him up.

An explosive thriller that is ripped from the headlines, The Third Option proves that “in the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standard” (Booklist, starred review of Red War).©2000 Vince Flynn, All Rights Reserved; (P)2000 Simon & Schuster Inc.; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Great story, love the spy hero types but I hate that it is only offered abridged. You miss so much.

Abridged sucks

Vince Flynn is my favorite action author but he just doesn't write enough books. Rabb, the hero just gets the job done without a lot of
chatter. Read one and you will want to read them all!

While Armand Schultz has a pleasant tone... that's about all I can say about him. He is, for the most part, fairly mono-tone. The previous 'Mitch Rapp' utilized tone and inflection, etc... to do all the characters farly well but Armand has such a soft almost monotone voice it's almost funny to listen to him try to sound like some violent 6'6" 280 lbs body guard. Armand needs to stick to romance novels and such.
