Editorial Review: Product Description: The devastatingly intense new thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn Counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his colleague Mike Nash may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America. Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for sixteen years, is his choice. Together, they have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes. Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Extreme MeasuresI read the book and the available reviews at the time. I would say Extreme Measures was on par with the rest of Flynn's work. Having said that, I do enjoy the Mitch Rapp character more than Mike Nash family man. Rapp works better alone. Just turn him lose and he'll take care of it. Rating: - Flynn hits another one out of the park!We have enjoyed all of Vince Flynn's previous Mitch Rapp books and this one is no exception. He's added new characters to consider, a new attitude for Mitch and the same no-b.s. attitude for Kennedy. We recommend this book loud and often. Excellent job, Mr. Flynn! Rating: - exciting!This was a great gift for my husband who loves historical fiction. The Author obviously did a lot of research about terrorism and the history of terrorism. Rating: - Extreme Measures (Torture)--When It is Justified and When It Is Not...Vince Flynn's exciting new novel--and aren't all of his books exciting!!--doesn't seek to answer that question philosophically, just on a case-by-case example, and he does so very effectively, from the family level to to the level of national security. The issues are the same, only the consequences differ. This book is a very real scenario of what could happen if the "do-gooders" ever get control of Washington and make us try to live like lambs in the very real, sometimes scary and terrifiing ... Read More Rating: - Should we use torture in the fight against terrorism?In "Extreme Measures," author Vince Flynn uses fiction to answer some very tough questions: "Is torture ever justified? And if so, who gets to make that decision?" Our main character, once again, is CIA operative Mitch Rapp. We join Rapp and his buddy Mike Nash at Bagram Air Force Base in eastern Afghanistan, where they are conducting an unauthorized interrogation of some captured bad guys. Meanwhile, a secret terrorist cell is training in the jungles of Paraguay to attack Washington, D.C. The ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
