Rating:

- Not the best Flynn novel, but still pretty good!!
This book seems a little less dramatic. Perhaps because politicians are a target of terrorists? Harvesting the fruits of bad labors if you ask me. Otherwise, a truly enjoyable book. The storyline is just a little less punchy.

- Fynn's Rapp Wins the Day Again
Vince Flynn pens another thriller starring Mitch Rapp, something of a superhero type of CIA clandestine agent. In this case, Rapp and his crew take down international financiers, corrupt politicians and other movers and shakers. The story is stimulating and is a page-turner, even though it has a predictable course from begining to end. Everything seems to work out a bit too smoothly for Rapp who does it all with ease. This is an entertaining book but lacks the element of suprise or mystery.

- A Good, Solid Read
I just finished this novel. The storyline is good & well played out. I like the ending. It comes together well with no loose threads. The Mitch Rapp character is always entertaining in Flynn's books. The only negative I have is the characters are the absolute best in everything they do. A bit over the top in that respect. All in all, it's a good solid novel

- A great read, but there must be an epilogue somewhere...
I'll explain the review's title in a minute. First, having finished all of Lee Child's books, I was looking for something to keep me occupied until "superman" Jack Reacher emerges again from Child's imagination. I found
Vince Flynn and Reacher's counterpart, Mitch Rapp. The difference is that Child deals in a broader arena of crime while Flynn is political.

Normally, I don't like political novels. I get enough politics in 2008 from the news. But Flynn has tapped into the depths of my willingness to accept conspiracy theories, and he's got me! While I highly recommend "Act of Treason," I would suggest you start with earlier books - though I admit that I haven't read any yet. However, there is a distinct feeling that this is an "interim" book, one that is begging for a sequel. As enjoyable a read as this was, I was a little disappointed with the end and had the feeling that I was in the middle of a serial, waiting for the final chapters. Still, this was, not to be trite, a page-turner and in 2008 enough to give one a sense of foreboding.

The best thing is that there is now a continuation of my reading history from Saunders and Sanders to WEB Griffin to Child to Flynn with a few Parker thrown in for bad measure.

I've already ordered three more Flynn novels. I haven't enjoyed Grisham since his second novel; I never cared for Dan Brown. Anybody have other recommendations knowing now that Saunders, Sanders, Child and Flynn are at the top of my reading lists?

- Another Good One
I like the Rapp books because the author understands this is war and we could lose it if we aren't careful. The MSM seems to think the war is like pulling over someone whose car smells of marajuana on the highway. If you didn't Miranda the driver the case is no good. This is war not a law enforcement matter. It's fun to read about Rapp's direct manner and a CIA willing to back him up even when the bad guys turn out to be US politicians. If only it was true. Read the book, it's a lot of fun. I've got to nitpick a little. The author seems to think Cyprus is part of Greece. It was funny because I was in Athens when I read the book and have worked in Nicosia. The ethnic Greeks dominate half of Cyprus but it is an independant country. In fact it's now part of the EU. The author has the Greek government protesting the "kidnapping" of a Cypriot citizen and Rapp threatens a Cypriot banker with an onslaught of Greek investigators from Athens if he doesn't help. No the Greek Cypriots and Greeks are close but the Greeks don't run things in Nicosia or Larnica. No biggie but it struck a discordant note in the book that the author seems to think Cyprus is a province of Greece.
