Act of Treason

The fallout from a horrific Washington explosion has just begun -- and so has CIA superagent Mitch Rapp's hunt for a killer with a personal agenda.

In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington's most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp -- the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contractkillers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation's capital...and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office.

I'd give it a "24"., 2008-12-27
If you like the TV series "24", you will like this book and any of the Mitch Rapp series.

Another poor ending by Flynn, 2008-10-30
Absolutely another great thriller except the ending. This is the second Flynn book in a row that I have read that needed a better ending. Up until the ending I was ready to give this book a five star plus. Flynn had me so drawn into the book that I actually was in a hurry for the bad guys to get discovered and punished, but Flynn was too concerned about his next novel to give this one a proper ending.

When writing my first novel, al-Qaeda Strikes Again, one of my proof readers said that I should give my book a better ending and not worry about setting up a beginning for my next book which is what Flynn did in Act of Treason. The most important parts of a novel are the beginning and the ending. When Flynn tries to bridge the ending of one book into the beginning of his next book then he robs the reader even if the reader reads all his books in order, but it was even worst than that as the ending was wham bam that's it! Part on the ending for this book is the beginning of Protect and Defend: A Thriller and in that book the beginning has no connection with the rest of the book.

The ending in this book was the worst that I have read in an otherwise fabulous thriller.

Rapp Attack! , 2008-10-10
While this was only by second foray into Vince Flynn's universe (I tend to read more historical fiction), I loved it and couldn't put it down from the first paragraph. "Act of Treason" is indeed incredibly fast-paced, timely and relvant (considering the upcoming elections, terrorism, etc) and the character of Mitch Rapp fully defined and heroically intriguing. I have to agree with some other reivewers that the ending was somewhat abrupt and flat. However, taken as a whole, I loved the novel and highly recommend it for readers interested in fast-paced political espionage, or simply a quick, fun, adventurous read!

Fascinating as always, 2008-09-25
Big Ludlum fan turned to Vince Flynn. This is a fascinating, fast paced political thriller that is extremely well-written. His stories are fiction but certainly based on a great deal of reality. A master storyteller with a great attention to accuracy and detail.
