The devastatingly intense new thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn

Counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his colleague Mike Nash may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for sixteen years, is his choice. Together, they have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.

Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

Vince Flynn

In my opinion this is one of Flynn's best books. Had a hard time putting it down.


Not Flynn's best, but still a good read

I am a big fan of Vince Flynn and have read all of his other books.

As other reviewers have noted, this book does not have Mitch Rapp, who is Flynn's central character in all of his other books, at the heart of the action. Therefore if this is the first time that you are reading Flynn, you won't really get an accurate picture of how his other books are structured.

Nonetheless, Flynn writes well and keeps the action moving. I don't think that this book is Flynn's best because sometimes it sounds a little preachy, but the topic is timely --extreme measures is a euphemism for torture-- namely, to what extent do we go to ensure national security. All of Flynn's novels tend to espouse a conservative outlook, and this one makes no bones in emphasizing the severe consequences of taking a too liberal approach to terrorism. Putting politics aside, this is a good political thriller, but not as good as the other books where Mitch Rapp is the centerpiece of the action.

Extreme Measures: A Thriller By Vincecnt Flynn

I have been a huge fan of Vincent Flynn since his first book Term Limits. Extreme Measures is well written and enjoyable reading. The book is action packed and fast pace. A type of book you want to hurry up and finish reading just to see how the story ends and then go back and reread the book at a slower speed. If this is your first time reading one of Mr. Flynn books it may a little hard to understand the deepness of the main character in the book. His fans have enjoyed the development of Rapp and Doctor Kennedy since his second book but each book does stand-alone. Most of my friends that I have suggested reading one his books have purchase all of books after reading their first book.

If you enjoy Clancy you will positively enjoy all of Flynn books. The biggest difference between the two authors is Clancy written a 400-page book in 700 pages. Mr. Flynn writing style is better and is easier to read. If you are a fan of the show "24" You will also positively enjoy the book.
