Welcome to Litsy!

⭐⭐⭐? (3.5/5)

Another good action packed novel by Vince Flynn.. it was fun, with a lot of tension (and a lot of characters and names!!!).
This was published in 1999 and I think it was some sort of inspiration for "Olympus Has Fallen" and "Whithe House Down"..

(The italian cover is awful!?)

After a group of terrorists take over the White House, they begin making demands. With the president incommunicado in his bunker, the Vice President takes command. Faced with some tough decisions, he begins to accede to the terrorists‘ demands. Mitch Rapp is tasked with infiltrating the White House and gathering intel. This is one of the best books in the series. If you haven‘t discovered Mitch Rapp, give yourself an early holiday present today!

Very entertaining- I can see a few recent movies that were based on it. Though I don‘t think any of them measure up to Mitch Rapp (not sure the cover reflects the book though) 😁

My dad has been pestering me to read this series for years & I finally relented. It's not the best writing, but it's not the worst either. It is probably longer than it needs to be. But for all of its flaws, I didn't want to put this down. Mitch Rapp is far from perfect, but if I ever needed heroic rescuing, he'd be at the top of my list of people to call. I'll intersperse this series with my other reading as a palate cleanser.
