Product Description
CIA superagent Mitch Rapp is back in action in Vince Flynn's high-velocity New York Times bestseller. Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the American President's term. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the President calls on his secret weapon: 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. |

Enjoyed it so much I bought the rest of the series by W. Dietrich (Las Vegas)  5 Stars
February 04, 2009
I love finding an author who has written numerous books before I discover them. The reason is if you like the author you dont have to wait a year for the next book!!!! I enjoyed Seperation of Power so much that I bought the rest of the series.
This book does a good job of setting the table for Rapps relationship with Anna as well as Kenndy taking over the CIA. I felt there was just enough time spent on character development to help in understanding why decisons were made the way they were. I liked the book because although it moved and just the right pace and had several plot lines. In honesty there are no changes I would like to have seen made. Without telling you the plot this is a well written book and fans of espinoage will most definitly enjoy. I hope Mr. Flynn keeps cranking out the series for the years to come.

A culmination of all that is Mitch Rapp. by Raymond Childress (Richmond, VA) 5 Stars
December 16, 2008
The book was fantastic. It provided a deep plot line that was concluded in a very tasteful way. The "who done it" aspect of the book combined with the non-stop action provided a novel that was impossible to put down. It also broke down the character of Mitch Rapp more so then the previous novels. It really gave you incite into who Mitch Rapp really is and how complex he is.
The only downside to the book, which in my opinion is a plus, is that it must be indulged following the completion of the previous book, The Third Option. Separation of Power picks up were the Third Option leaves off, creating high intensity series that takes you for politically charged, action packed roller coaster ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. If you do not read the Third Option prior to Separation of Power, you lose a lot of the back story, along with, in my opinion, the entire experience. It would be like ready the Return of the King, by J.R. Tolkein and not reading the two proceeding books. It just does not make sense.

shallow characters and dialogue by Joseph E. Dooley (texas)  2 Stars
July 03, 2008
I expected a little more depth of character and story development, but Flynn just rushes this book along, forcing an unrealistic plot down our throats. This is a world where the president looks at the window of the oval office in indecision and despondency at distressing world events; and does cliched things like end a meeting, then say something that sounds morbid or fatalistic just before his aides leave the room. A world in which the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff launches into a tirade about a doomsday scenario that would bring the earth to a standstill, and when career politicians whine and are easily manipulated by their politico-peers. And we're supposed to believe that the main character, who takes every last precaution deadly seriously, brings the woman he wants to marry with him on a potentially deadly mission, and assumes wrongly he's going to be able to confront a known assassin who double-crossed him in the past and she'll tell him just because he asked nicely. And that's only halfway through the book!

Separation of Power by Ralph D. Hermansen (Lake Isabella, CA United States) 5 Stars
June 22, 2008
The Mitch Rapp series are fast-moving compelling novels. Separation of Power is a real page-turner. I didn't want to put it down. Mitch Rapp, the main character, is a CIA assassin, who unabashedly believes in execution as a way to solve political problems. The book's author,Vince Flynn, uses Rapp's rationalizations for violence as a device to persuade the reader that there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking. He also tries to convince you that the people attempting to restrain Rapp are the bad guys. The TV series "24" is analogous. Let's hope that both readers of Rapp novels and watchers of "24" have the maturity to separate the morality expressed in entertainment from the morality needed in real life. These assassination novels are great reads,but we don't want to see vigilante-style justice replace our judicial system or undo the concept that one is innocent until proven guilty. If we support violent solutions, someday we, ourselves, might be the victims of a malevolent or misguided government.
