CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield – a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins – which makes Rapp an superfluous asset.Amazon.com Review
Unforgiving political infighting surrounds the selection of a successor to the dying head of the CIA just as Mitch Rapp, the agency’s top operative, embarks on a treacherous mission to take out a well-known German industrialist believed to be supplying Middle East terrorists with highly sensitive equipment critical to constructing a nuclear bomb. When Rapp’s ultimately successful mission is compromised from within, ailing CIA director Thomas Stansfield puts his imprimatur on the efforts of his chosen successor, Irene Kennedy, director of the agency’s Counterterrorism Center, to identify the powerful interests both inside and outside the agency that wanted Rapp to fail.
The motive soon becomes clear; there are people who’ll stop at nothing to remove Kennedy from the helm of the agency after Stansfield dies. One thing they didn’t count on was Rapp’s survival, and now he’s a lethal weapon whose sights are fixed directly on the most powerful among them. This is a strong, swift thriller, a bit predictable (the senator in the black hat has dogs named Caesar and Brutus) but nonetheless involving. Leader Vince Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last; in Mitch Rapp, he’s got the makings of a promising series hero. –Jane Adams

Not having read any of these before, this entry feels just like beginning a movie an hour into it. Passable action but does not really stand alone.

I have to agree with the additional reviewers, this is just a sad attempt to get me ready for the next book in the series.
While I like certain books in series (the Dan Mahoney books come to mind), I need them to be “Stand-Alone” books. In additional words, with just a small background in the book, you can read it lacking reading anything else in the series. And you don’t feel compelled to buy the next book just to find out what happens. This is a cheat, and I resent it. In fact, I have made an effort to not buy any more Flynn books since this one.

Wasn’t what I expected. I read his first two therefore I didn’t expect what this one gave. A small heavy on the political side. I delight in action and espionage with some officially authorized so maybe I just read the incorrect book. His others were fantastic and I hope Memorial Day will be as excellent. I will read it next with hope.

The character Hank Clark couldn’t have been an All-PAC 10 ASU baseball player…right?..since ASU wasn’t even in the PAC 10 til the 70s and Clark would’ ve played in the 60s. Oops!

I received an abridged version of the novel versus the full one. Perhaps I did not read the description fully. But, this is the second time that I have buy an audiobook on Amazon that was not clearly identified. Reading/listening to an abridged version of a novel is a small like kissing your sister. Something is missing.
