Summary: Executive Power Proves That Flynn Is A Master
Comment: For those who love the geopolitical accuracy of Tom Clancy and the high-flying suspensful action of Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn successfully creates a balance of the two in his latest novel, Executive Power.
Executive Power brings Mitch Rapp back once more, but this time around, things are much different. Not only has his cover as an assassin and counterterrorism operative been blown, but he's also married to an inquisitive and beautiful reporter who wants nothing more than her new husband to leave his dangerous life at the CIA behind.
Flynn's latest novel, which is among his best to date (the best, in my opinion, being The Third Option), involves two different scenarios: an American family taken hostage by Muslim radicals in the Phillipines, and an honorable but ruthless assassin playing a deadly geopolitical game, his ultimate goal being the establishment of a free and peaceful Palestinian state.
Our hero Rapp, of course, eventually becomes involved with both. Bullets fly when he attempts a hostage rescue in the Phillipines, and terrorists sweat when he tries to get to the bottom of a string of assassinations reaching from Israel to the US.
Executive Power is an incredibly well-written novel that blends incredible accuracy and amazing action and keeps the reader turning pages. My only complaint is that the novel ended too soon; one can only hope that Mitch Rapp will return soon enough to avert disaster once again.

Summary: AN ASTOUNDING, AUTHENTIC TALE
Comment: Veteran voice performer Armand Schultz gives a tense and gripping reading to the latest political thriller from Vince Flynn.
Following "Separation of Power" Flynn delivers another straight from today's news dynamite story. Mitch Rapp, CIA superagent, can no longer work underground. He was at the head of a commando group that infiltrated Iraq, then received worldwide press coverage when he was acclaimed for his valor by the President.
Now Rapp is battling terrorism from behind a desk at CIA headquarters where he is an advisor to the Director. He won't be desk bound for long after he learns that some Navy SEALS dispatched to the Philippines to rescue a kidnaped American family have been caught in a deadly vise.
How did our enemies know the SEALS were being sent? Supposedly, this was top secret information. How can Rapp work when his identity is known to all?
Thanks to Vince Flynn there's another astounding, authentic tale to set pulses pounding.

Summary: no-brainer
Comment: This book was kind of fun, but only when I kept my brain switched off. Clunky writing and shallow characters are expected in a genre book like this, but there were two points that really didn't work for me.
First, the Phillipines and Palestinian plots were totally unrelated. Almost as if he took two incomplete book outlines and shoved them together to make deadline. Lazy lazy lazy.
The worst for me was the alternating self-righteousness of the main character about thoughtless Washinton bureaucrats who thought they were above the rules and are therefore bad, as compared with the self-righteousness of the main character about his own definition of his own rules to govern his own actions which must be good. It's ok for him to reveal details about his operations to his wife, for instance.
