    About this audiobook

    Politics and riveting suspense collide in this white-knuckled thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—soon to be a major motion picture.

    In one bloody night, three of Washington’s most powerful politicians are executed with surgical precision. Their assassins then deliver a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside partisan politics and restore power to the people. No one, they warn, is out of their reach—not even the president. A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O’Rourke, a former US Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence—a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country’s future.

      The swamp or just fiction? Great listen, great story. Could this really happen???
    • 5/5
      This novel has a rather difficult plot. With good guys killing congressmen and Senators who have been more like today's government than vuu want to believe.. It feels rather unreal for that reason alone.

      I have read all but one of the Mitch Rapp books. If I had read this one first I probably wouldn’t have read any other Vince Flynn book. What a bunch of nonsense. Scott Coleman is no hero but a treasonous murderer. And these O’rourke idiots are no heroes. They all deserved to be executed.

      Powerful Washington politicians are being assassinated in ways that only the highly skilled professional assassinators could accomplish. Freshman congressman, Michael O'Rourke is caught in the crossfire. This is one of those books you pick up and the next thing you know you are halfway through the book and so sucked up in the story that you join the characters. This is Flynn's first book and, thankfully, the second is already in print. I'm off to get a copy!

      Great action, suspense with political intrigue. The major politicos were narcissistic and self-aggrandizing -- all believed their own view of the world to be correct. Yep, just like the real world! This scenario; however, is chilling--three politicians murdered and the rest held ransom to the budget. The budget? You gotta be ralphin' me. This whole story revolves around pork. Really? Could our leadership really be held hostage? It was a fun read/listen and I think that I'll try some more Vince Flynn.

      How do D.C. politics work? Reading this book will give you a pretty good idea, you get the feeling you are privy to an insider look at the U.S. political machine. Partisan politics and the budget are the antagonists in this story. There is plenty of action and political intrigue for die hard fans, with a plot that is interesting although void of a major plot twist. Did I figure out the whodunit? Yes, but I was taken there by way of a thrilling tale!

      Good story, lots of suspense, in spite of some implausible situations.
    • 4/5
      Vince Flynn reads alot like Baldacci in my mind. Great action, suspense, detail-oriented and often with thought-provoking political intrigue. Really well written.
    • 3/5
      Proves one doesn't have to be the greatest writer, simply a very good story teller.
    • 4/5
      My first Vince Flynn novel and I went in expecting high energy, politics, espionage, and more. Well I definitely got my money's worth. Not only did each page keep me wanting to read further without end but I was constantly trying to predict how Flynn would end things especially when you saw how screwed up everything was and to think there want any fix in sight. I'm definitely adding more Vince Flynn books to my list.

    • 5/5
      A cracking story of political double-dealing in Washington and the direct action taken by one person to force the President into change.
    • 4/5
      A fast-paced novel filled with action. Mr. Flynn does not disappoint. I recently stumbled on Vince Flynn and have been quite impressed with his books. Easy to read with characters that are developed just enough, he takes the reader on a ride that is so far-fetched, yet seems so plausible at the same time.
    • 3/5
      This was my first Vince Flynn book. I was looking for a hole to fill Tom Clancy's place and I am disappointed to say that this is not going to completely do the job. The plot is decent, but it misses some opportunities late to really expand on things and surprise the reader. The writing is sub-par and technical details don't seem as accurate and well researched as in Clancy's work.I'm not completely turned off by Flynn, but I am disappointed. I'll probably try another few books and see if they get better from here.
    • 5/5
      This was my first Vince Flynn book to read. It got me hook and I have read all the other books by Vince Flynn. My review for each of Flynn's books would probably be the same as for this one. I enjoy the theme and "super heroism" of Mitch Rapp. Each one of Flynn's books goes into further detail of the operative, Mitch Rapp, and the other characters and organizations portrayed. The characters are well developed and their personalities are consistent from one novel to the next.

      It wasn't long before I developed a visceral hatred for this book. If I put its politics aside, at best this is yet another silly, not very well written thriller. With the politics... In one night, United States Senator Daniel Fitzgerald, Senator Robert Down and powerful congressional leader Jack Koslowski are assassinated. From the description of each, it's clear the first is supposed to be Senator Edward Kennedy (or maybe Daniel Moynihan) the second Robert Dole, and the third Dan Rostenkowski. (The book was published in 1997) The next day the demands of the assassins are delivered to a major network. Among the demands are a balanced budget with no new or raised taxes and means-testing medicare and social security. In other words, the Tea Party Agenda--which by the way I'm actually sympathetic to. (Quaint, and scary, that the horror scenario of the book is a debt of a mere 5 trillion.) If their demands are not met, more will be killed and they promise not even the (very Clintonesque) president will be safe. So, what's the reaction of our "hero" ex-marine and Freshman Congressman Michael O'Rourke? He considers the murdered men "scum" and calls those that slew them "freedom fighters." I kid you not. Flynn lost me right there. Do I really have to spell it out? Because I could rant for pages. Look, I'm right of center and have been known to enjoy Tom Clancy novels. Flynn according to the wiki was inspired to write the book by The Government Racket: Washington Waste from A to Z, by Martin L. Gross. I'm sympathetic to the cause--really am. But my goodness. I can't enjoy this or take this seriously.
    • 5/5
      Although this is Flynn's first novel, the themes in the book still resonate today. The story could almost be found in any paper today. I found the book pretty fast paced and kept me hooked until the end.
