Flynn Remains at the Top of His Game

Some of us were wondering if Mitch Rapp had gone a bit soft after the last novel. The wondering is over and the answer is NO! Irene Kennedy is still head of the CIA and after a the Democratic ticket's motorcase is attacked by a roadside bomb in the nation's capital, killing the wife of the presidential candidate, she has sent Rapp to try and find the perpetrator. The country suspects Bin Laden's people and sympathy for the subjects of the attack turn their floundering campaign into victory. As the country moves from election to innauguration a horifying plot is exposed and Mitch Rapp is once again at the center of it. This is pure and adulterated Vince Flynn and there is nothing about this book that will disappont his many fans. The pages will turn as easily as ever.

Pure escapism, a night without sleep!

For mystery/thriller fans this is pure nirvana. I read the entire book in two sessions and lost a night's sleep. The only disappointing thing about this Mitch Rapp adventure is that it was over too soon. If you enjoy reading for pleasure, to escape the troubles of your day, this is just what the doctor ordered. Vince Flynn just gets better and better. The writing is fast paced, and easy to read. The tension and plotting are believable and the characters, good and bad are enjoyable.

Historical Political Thriller Readers Everywhere Will Love!

I am a very big fan of author Vince Flynn and have more expectations from this writer than almost every other storyteller. If you are like me, and have a penchant to be drawn to the genre' of clandestine political espionage and back-channeled international suspense, then you will dive right in to what I believe stylistically is a page-turning, mind-absorbing, savvy political thriller in Vince Flynn's `Act of Treason'. Similar to `Consent to Kill', the author has mastered the three important facets necessary for exceptional historical fiction: believability, currency, and valuably innovative plot line development. Splashed in throughout is a keen understanding about the world of operatives and the intelligence community very few individuals know or talk about. Furthermore, the author uses other fascinating factual tidbits of information that keep the reader moving, and allowing the necessary balance to occur that provides great credibility to the what if points author Flynn is clearly making during this ongoing state of war against terrorism individuals of freedom must persevere through. As a writer who concentrates in the genre of international espionage such as Mr. Flynn, I openly want to say that CIA operative Mitch Rapp is such an engaging and cleverly created character. As I want to relate in part to my own protagonists that push the pages of some of my own novels, there is a great connection between Rapp and the reader. Well done! The story begins with a presidential motorcase explosion that throws the administration upside down, and ignites would-be-voters to stand strong behind their current president seeking reelection. Conspiracy theory lovers unite? Maybe . . . but Flynn has a series of surprises that spin one after the other. Enjoyably, 'Act of Treason' is not solely a shoot-em-up story: it is thoughtful, insightful, and educational while always keeping the reader is a state of suspense. As an educated 'read', this is where, in my opinion, Vince Flynn is coming completely into his own mastering the craft mystery/suspense writing. In the historical thriller, regardless of the micro genre', the fact remains that the credibility of the story must never be questioned. In `Act of Treason', readers will find Vince Flynn delivers high marks across the board. Once you put `Act of Treason' in your hand, good luck putting it down! Well done, Mr. Flynn.
