Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin comes a pulse-pounding thriller that “is an old school spy story…updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal” (Library Journal) and puts CIA agent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.

When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take a third option and Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an “unofficial” task—targeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor.

But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp realizes he’s been deemed an expendable asset in a power struggle on home turf: the battle over who will become the successor of the dying CIA director. But no one counted on Mitch Rapp’s return…or how far he’ll go to find out who set him up.

An explosive thriller that is ripped from the headlines, The Third Option proves that “in the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standard” (Booklist, starred review of Red War).

The Rapp series is a never ending thrill ride. Well written, intricate plots, sub Rosa galore. I am already starting the fifth in the series
Rapp and Kennedy

By Jessica Madison
The storyline with Rapp and Kennedy was amazing in this book. They are so brother and sister. I liked seeing more of Kennedy and was sad to see her mentor and boss Stansfield go downhill. Overall, this book is my favorite so far even though I’ve got a line of books to go. You can really play a movie in your head with this one. I will say that you could figure things out quicker of who was the enemy and traitor. I’m trying to leave spoilers out but it is so hard because the book had so much more stuff happen in between. I can’t wait to see the future under Kennedy.
Excellent thriller!

Very disappointed in this book. The author, could have found a much more humane way to deal with the dog. Instead of choosing to leave him outside alone hungry and lose. The dog is the one that successfully made his entry into the house successful. I will no longer read any of the books in the series

This book had far to many characters, a muddled plot which I feel was 50 pages to long and one of the worse endings of any Vince Flynn book I have read. Believe it or not. I am a very avid Vince Flynn supporter.
Good until the end.

Probably the worst ending ever. Nothing was tied up, didn't even make sense. I was very disappointed, would be afraid to spend time and money on another one of his books.
RIP

I liked the inclusion of more side stories about additional characters in the series.
