Together, they have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death.

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.PUsing 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.

Once again Vince Flynn has a great book. I hope he keeps Mitch Rapp around for a long time.

Since ordering this book, the price came down; Amazon immediately notified me that I would receive a credit for the difference in price. That is what I call 5 star service. Thanks amazon!!!

In my opinion this is one of Flynn's best books. Had a hard time putting it down.
 Huh, did the editors push him to write a book this summer? November 21, 2008
J. Graham (Farmington, MN)
Very disappointing. I will read his next book, but this was too dull. Typical plot- Mitch Rapp, out of control fighting against those evil people in the US Government, trying to save the world from terrorists. Sorry Vince, you gotta shake it up a little. Give Mitch Rapp a break next book, intro someone new and bring him back later. br /This book focuses far too much on the boring, mundane Senate Committee meetings. Boring.
Extreme Measures: A Thriller By Vincecnt Flynn November 21, 2008
Don Radke (Balto, MD)
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. br / br /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. br /
