Description

Mitch Rapp—the “mainstay of the modern techno-thriller” (New York Journal of Books)—returns in this exhilarating political thriller as he fights for the sake of his country and the pursuit of honor.

Less than a week after a series of deadly explosions devastated Washington, DC, key officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the clandestine elite counterterrorism operatives that stepped between the enemy and countless American lives. Not for the first time, Mitch Rapp finds himself struggling to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians who are content to sit on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, three al-Qaeda terrorists are still at large, and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary. No one knows the personal, physical, and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp. When he sees his colleague Mike Nash cracking under the pressure, he makes a call he hopes will save his friend, assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill, and get him one step closer to the enemy before it’s too late. Once again, Rapp proves himself to be a hero unafraid “to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence” (The Salt Lake Tribune) for our country’s safety and for the pursuit of honor.

As always Flynn delivers another great story full of political intrigue, mystery, and thrills. At the heart is of course the hero Mitch Rapp, who pulls no punches in this wonderful story. It will have you downloading the Last Man once finished!
One of Flynn’s best! RIP

One of the best Mitch Rapp books in the series. Unbelievably good.
Worst of the Mitch Rapp books I’ve read

I’ve read about 8 of these, some by Flynn and some by Mills. This one was just unreadable. Nothing happens except Rapp threatens to blow some one’s head off over and over.

I stopped 1/2 way through, could not take it any more.
Book 11 and 12 should be combined.

Continuation of Extreme Measures. The two book should be combined. This book rambled and then just ended. This author has done this before we two previous books. The author is dead now so what’s the point.

Vince Flynn reinforces my appreciation for the warriors who have made the USA great.
Not much action.

I've read all the Vince Flynn books in order (up until Pursuit of Honor) and this one felt a little, "off". Considering everything the author drags you through in the course of this story, I was hoping for a more substantial, satisfying ending. It felt like he was writing the book, his deadline came up and he just quickly wrote an ending so he could hand it in.

Would I recommend the book? Well, if you are reading the series, as I am, and will continue to do, I'd say read it. It's an emotional roller coaster as are the other books. Realistically, every book can't be, "the best book".

It may just be my personal preference for a longer resolution that has slanted my review. The book still has everything you'd expect from a Mitch Rapp thriller.
Typical thriller

Well written. Hard to put down. A few too many side stories. Bad guys not as smart as some
