SUMMARY: [From Amazon.com
] When Washington, D.C.’s National Counterterrorism Center is struck by a series of devastating explosions, the results are catastrophic—185 killed, including public officials and CIA employees. Such an act of extreme violence calls for extreme measures—and elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, joining forces with trusted team member Mike Nash, finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to government officials up in arms over the agents who rushed in to save countless American lives. Meanwhile, with three al Qaeda terrorists still at large and Nash traumatized by the horrors he witnessed during the attack, Rapp must help his friend while threading his way through the naysayers on Capitol Hill—and silently, swiftly, do what he must for the sake of his country and the pursuit of honor. THOUGHTS: Once, just once, I would like Mitch Rapp to do or say something wrong. Pretty please. Is that too much to ask? At this point, I don't know why I keep reading this series. Flynn has made it so that Rapp can do no wrong. He is a god among men out to save the innocent American people from all the boogey people out there. Page after page, it's Rapp saving the day. Seriously, it's not a good thing when your most interesting, believable, and relatable character is a terrorist.
I enjoy a good thriller, but why I keep reading this series now is beyond me. Maybe I'm holding out for the day when Rapp gets slapped with a shortcoming.
RATING: 6/10 [Good]
