Great read, and even though the language can become coarse, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to see into the mind of the enemy and the types of measures required to stop them.

The best part was Mitch Rapp jamming the US Senators who are a larger enemy than the Jihadists. Yes the villains are Muslims in this book. Some Senate dumbasses die at the hands of Jihadists in this book

Yes they were.
And Flynn shows that the blame falls on them. The attack could have been prevented had the political whores not got in the way.
I am afraid in reality, that the attack, when it does come, and get through, will be worse than what is described in his books.

Which Vince Flynn book would a 61 year old WOMAN start reading if she (me) wanted to read most of them?
I haven't read anything since I've read 78 Agatha Christies in one year! I burned out, but ready to wade back in with SOMETHING.

It’s on my Xmas list. I hope Santa delivers it. Great after-Xmas read.

Didn't want to add a vanity ... so I'm a little off topic, but Clive Cussler’s new book Arctic Drift ... although well-written focuses the plot around global warming, which he obviously believes is fact. I got through it, but will hesitate to buy another Cussler book. (I don't support movie stars or authors that are libs with my hard-earned money). I read books like Cussler and Flynn for escape. Flynn always takes me where I want to be, Cussler took me back into the reality of the rediculous.
Agree that Flynn's latest is one to keep for reading again. He always makes you feel better after a good read. (Cussler made me feel the opposite). Flynn ... BUY IT ... Cussler ... FORGET it.

These are seat of the pant thrillers with a LOT of action and killing. All of them.
But they are timely and show what it takes to defend America.
The first one was "Term Limits" and it is GREAT...they go from there. Any of them really, IMHO.
Extreme Measures is the lastest and the series does have a line to it centering around Mitch Rapp...who is kind of a CIA, Jack Ryan.

Vince Flynn bump! A terrific novel with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end. Hope there’ll be a sequel soon!

Do I have to start with "Term Limits" in order to get the whole storyline of the rest?
Thanks for the info.....do women like these books?

Agreed, Jeff. I read as much or more than I write and Vince Flynn is one of my favorites. I had the pleasure of meeting him at last July’s International Thriller Writers conference in NYC. (Or was it the year before? Yikes!) Anyway, he’s surely one of the best.

The book clearly left the story open. There WILL be a sequel to get that mastermind.
And Flynn showed us how the Islamic Jihad masterminds think and why they send others to their deaths while they escape. Looking forward to KArim's demise.

Women love these books! I first heard of Flynn on Rush’s show and have been a fan from the beginning. There is a time line, so you might want to start from the beginning. Good deals on Amazon.

Ditto.
Even though the scene was hard to take, Flynn did get a great job at showing what torture really is. The hysterics who accuse American servicemen of committing torture don’t have a clue what that word really means.
