About this audiobook

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the electrifying Mitch Rapp series “knows how deliver action in his novels” (St. Paul Pioneer Press) and does so again with this thrilling follow-up to The Third Option.

The confirmation of Dr. Irene Kennedy as the CIA’s new director explodes into chaos as a deadly inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the president’s term emerges. Meanwhile, a dangerous world leader gains power in the nuclear arms race, leading Israel to force the president’s hand with a chilling ultimatum. With the specter of World War III looming, the president calls on top counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, but with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock—and impossible odds.

    Just didn't like this reader. His emphasis and rhythm is off. Please try again, so we could choose between narrators. The book is fine; the performance is disappointing.

    This book is awesome. Vince Flynn was awesome and Mitch Rapp is one of the classic protagonists. This audiobook is awful.

    The narrator is TERRIBLE. He makes Mitch Rapp sound like a wimp. Mitch Rapp kills people for a living. He doesn’t sound like a whiney, nasily, pimple faced teenager. Tried to tolerate it, but couldn’t. I even ramped it up to 1.5x speed. Faster pace didn’t make this guy any better. This narrator sounds like he should be reading Downton Abbey or a Sesame Street book or something. Not the right genre for this guy.

    I love this series. I wasn’t as crazy about the narrator but he was ok. I’ve read or listened to all of the books written by Flynn. I couldn’t get into Survivor which added Kyle as author and haven’t read any after that. Flynn was the best but I’m going to listen or read the rest. Great series!

    Narrator is so horrible that I stopped listening to it, instead I downloaded the ebook to read. The book is excellent as all others by the same author.

    Story, plot etc., were okay. However, the narration was simply awful.
    Odd mispronunciations (some egregious), strange intonation throughout, inconsistent character voices, and all delivered as though every character was an angry teenager.. baffling frankly. Particularly as other books In this series are well voiced.
    Had to speed through this one at 2x.

    Ken Kilban butchered the reading! It’s the worst performance I’ve heard. His voice is great, but he makes everyone sound like a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum. So hard to listen to.

    The narrator makes it really hard to listen to. Other than that it’s a good book.

    I loved this book, but I had trouble tolerating the reader. I felt like the emotional interpretation of the author’s characters was off. I just about gave up on the book, but the content enabled me to endure to the end.

    Awesome story and as other reviewer’s have already said, one of the worst narration I’ve ever heard. It ruined the experience in many ways.

    I thought the book was very exciting and interesting however it had a lot of blank spots in it. Where is telling the story and then the story just stops and then it picks up again like 3 to 5 seconds. Very frustrating

    I know that this series moves on - but for me this could have been the resolved and happy ending for Mitch Rapp.
    Most story threads were neatly wrapped up and you breathed a sigh of relief.
    The love story got its moment of bliss and the bad guy got what was so deservedly coming to him.
    That said, I’m taking a break from Mitch Rapp for a bit. I love the books, but I need a break from the constant adrenaline rush!

    The narrator is terrible. It’s hard to really get into the story with the voices that he has for the characters he should switch over to Brad Thor is narrator who is amazing. I may have to read the books going forward because I just cannot listen to this guy.

    3/5
    Political thriller that doesn't age well. The cartoon characterizations of the central figures reflect the prevailing right wing paranoia prevalent prior to the actual invasion of Iraq. The book reads like an inside the security apparatus rationale for the actions that resulted in the disaster that became the Iraq occupation. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the action and the spy vs spy interplay.

    Separation of Power is a book full of mystery and intrigue. I like this book because it has different information added to your knowledge every page.

    CIA director Thomas Stansfield is dead -- a fact many individuals in and around the nation's capital are pleased to hear. But their happiness proves to be short-lived once they learn that Stansfield's successor is the late director's close friend and protégé, Dr. Irene Kennedy. Her plan of action is to pursue the very goals Stansfield established -- something Stansfield's fiercest enemies don't want to hear. And something they refuse to accept.Meanwhile, Israel has discovered that Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- and they've vowed to stop the Iraqi madman before he can get his hands on the ultimate weapon. With the Middle East teetering on the precipice of chaos and devastation, the president of the United States is forced to act. The commander in chief's secret weapon? None other than the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, Mitch Rapp. But the window for action on this crucial mission is incredibly tight. Israel has given the United States only two weeks to take the nukes out. After that, they'll do whatever it takes to destroy the weapons themselves. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, Rapp races against time and impossible odds -- navigating the deadly alleys of Baghdad, tearing through the corruption-riddled streets of Washington, D.C., and taking drastic measures against anyone who gets in his way.

    This is another solid book about CIA operator Mitch Rapp. Rapp along with his team of operators have to stop Hussein from building a nuke, and by the way he stills has to help fix things at home because a corrupt Senator is trying to his his boss (Kennedy) fired. I have enjoyed this series of books and am looking forward to one day Michael Bay or JJ Abrams creating the Rapp universe.

    I probably should have given this one better than 3 stars, but it wasn't quite good enough for 4, and I still refuse to make things more complicated for myself by giving half stars of any sort to any book.There are better spy novels, and better action novels, and better political novels. But this one is just fun. There's just enough detail to convince you that Flynn really knows what he's talking about without being so much that it slows things down. He's not trying to go down the dark path that le Carre did before him, but is trying to write a good action story with clear good guys and clear bad guys. In doing so, he probably exaggerates a bit, and his characters are sometimes weak, but they do have real motives and real emotions.This is one I wouldn't recommend to everyone, but if you like political thrillers, check it out.
