My Review of Vince Flynn's, "Extreme Measures"

Amazon.com Review ^ | 14 Dec 2008 | Jeff Head

[RedRover]

And, ominously, Karim knows Nash’s identity!

[MNnice]

Vince Flynn is from my neighborhood and is a staunch conservative.

Thanks for the review. I’ve heard of Flynn or seen him on FNC but I’ve never read his books. Do you recommend starting with his first novel or can I jump in with this latest effort?

[Jeff Head]

I know...let’s hope Nash and his beautiful family survive in the series. We may next see Flynn’s version of Patriot GAmes.

Now that you’ve called his name to my attention ( slaps head, to jar brain back in to gear... ) I’ll keep an eye peeled for his books.

[Jeff Head]

You can jump in here with the latest and then go back if you want. I'd read them all...in whatever order. All are good.

This one had a little more political intrigue and dealt with Nash's personal issues than the others which are even more action based.

But this one is a GREAT read and very timely and has plenty of action, believe me.

[Jeff Head]

You’d love Term Limits.

Just finished a good one, "TSAR," by Ted Bell. Alex Hawke has a romantic encounter. Bad guy(s) are the Russians trying to regain power. Lot's of action.

I have read them all and I think it makes sense to start at the beginning and read through. Although not necessary, there is a continuing story line that makes it much more pleasurable to know what has happened previously.

Just my opinion.

[rabidralph]

I appreciate both of your replies. I’ll probably just get them all. Will keep me occupied over this long winter :-)

[Jeff Head]

If you are going to get them all...then read them from the start.

Term Limits sold my on Flynn right after it came out and I read it cover to cover. Been reading each of his ever since.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Jeff.

Like, Jeff, I’ve read all of Flynn’s books. I’m a sixty-five year old woman, and I love them.

I’m still on the County library waiting list for this one-these rarely take me more then two days to finish off.

I also highly recommend Daniel Silva’s novels. His Israeli spy, Gabriel Allon, should have already become a Hollywood staple. Hollywood being Hollywood, however, I think it will be some time before you see either Flynn’s of Silva’s novels adopted for the big screen because both would offend those of a particular religious persuasion.

Just finished re-reading the first nine in prep for EM.

Thanks for the review.

[Jeff Head]

You are welcome...Merry Christmas and His Peace for you and yours!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks, I will certainly look into Silva’s novels.

[Jeff Head]

You’re welcome. I do not believe you will be disappointed...particularly with your “prep” work!

[LRoggy]

I anyone needs to buy a number of books in a series, I strongly suggest going to Alibris.com, which is where I buy so many of my books. I believe it is the largest used book store on the web.

And to you Many Blessings of the Season.
