Product Description
CIA superagent Mitch Rapp's cover has been blown -- just when the world needs him more than ever.... EXECUTIVE POWER Returning from a covert mission, Mitch Rapp was publicly hailed by the president for his role in the fight against terrorism. After years of working in the shadows, Rapp was caught in the media spotlight -- and marked for death by virtually every terrorist in the world. Now a CIA advisor, Rapp is ready to battle terror far from the front lines. But when a Navy SEAL team in the Philippines is ambushed, all evidence points to a leak within the U.S. State Department. And a greater threat still lurks -- a ruthless assassin working for the most powerful men in the Middle East, who are bent on igniting a world war. With the world watching, Rapp must hold back the flames of Armageddon.... |

Vince Flynn is just an incredible writer and story teller by Michael Echols (Ft. Myers, Florida)  5 Stars
September 04, 2009
I've been reading Flynn's books off and on for a couple of years and really enjoyed them. Enjoyed is too mild...I couldn't put them down! I just bought his entire library of books so I have everything he has writen and I'm going through them in the order they were published. I'm even re-reading earlier titles to keep in sequence because there are so many inter-connected details. A GREAT READ!

Not Flynn's best by P. M. Gunther  3 Stars
June 12, 2009
An operative has a grand scheme to bring down the Jewish state and establish Palestine in the eyes of the world that would make the producers of 24 glow with pride if they thought of it. It's a multifaceted, complicated design that unfolds so slowly that the good guys don't even realize what they're up against until the 11th hour. If the entire book was about this story I would have loved it, as it completely works. Unfortunately, the first half of the book, dealing with an American family kidnapped and being held hostage in the Phillipines, adds nothing to the story except, seemingly, to give Rapp some action.
I usually enjoy Flynn's books, but this one left me unsatisfied. On one hand, the action is very well written, easily understood, and really exciting. On the other hand, the first half of the book wastes a lot of time on a story that has nothing to do with the plot, but seems to exist merely to set up Rapp's problems with his wife, who, at this point, has become a hindrance to the series, as she seems to exist solely to be pointed out by men as beautiful and to pout that her husband (whom she knew full well engaged in gun play for a living when she got involved with him) is out engaging in gun play.
I thought Flynn's grasp of Middle East politics was impressive. It was clear and well stated, making the motivations of the various players easily understood, which is not a simple thing to do when dealing with the complex alliances that exist in that part of the world. I just wish he had spent more time fleshing out that end of the story rather than giving us the unnecessary Phillipines story.
If you're reading the series as a whole, which I recommend, this one is certainly one you'd want to read, as it is clearly important for the characters and where they're going. I just think this is the weakest one in the series that I've come across so far. Flynn is certainly capable of a lot better.
