Description
This “roller-coaster, edge-of-your-seat thriller” (Star-Tribune, Minneapolis) in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series follows the CIA’s top operative as he must stop a massacre in Washington, DC, and save the president before terrorists reach the White House.
The stately calm of a Washington morning is shattered when a group of terrorists descends, killing dozens and taking nearly one hundred hostages as they try to infiltrate the White House. The Secret Service immediately evacuates the president to an underground bunker—and while officials argue over how best to negotiate with the enemy, Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top counterterrorism operative, moves stealthily among the hidden corridors and secret passageways of the nation’s capital to save the hostages before the terrorists reach the president. But there’s someone waiting in the wings, someone within the Washington elite, who is determined to see Rapp’s rescue mission fail.
With heart-pounding thrills and feverish pacing, Transfer of Power “mixes in a spicy broth of brutal terrorists, heroic commandos, and enough secret-agent hijinks to keep the confrontation bubbling until its flag-raising end” (Publishers Weekly).
Reviews
Good but needs explanation
4By A_PotvinBook was great but the passing of 10 years of the protagonists life and career with the CIA without any explanation was a bit confusing. Unless I missed another book in the series.Loved it
5By rechdave1Fantastic, couldn’t put it down.Enjoyed this series until his far-right politics crept in
1By RickInElyI really enjoyed the storytelling in this series, but after he vilified all the Democrats in government and praised President Bush, the whole story started to smell. I won’t be reading any more of these.Fast forward?
3By CareerMovesThought I’d missed another of Rapp’s adventures in Paris because the book picks up a few years (and scars/wounds) after the problems with Victor. Putting that aside, it seems that there was lots of “30,000-feet” information that was superfluous to the plot.Really exciting

5By RTBreatheThis action packed book will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Highly recommended this.Didn’t feel like the other Flynn’s
4By README!23I liked this book, don’t get me wrong, but it almost felt like it wasn’t Flynn writing it. It had a different feel to it I don’t quite like but overall, still a good book. It might just be me, but other than that, 👍🏻JG
5By Blossom's PrideGreat details.
