About this listen

 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin comes a pulse-pounding thriller that “is an old school spy story…updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal” (Library Journal) and puts CIA agent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.

When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take a third option and Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an “unofficial” task—targeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor.

But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp realizes he’s been deemed an expendable asset in a power struggle on home turf: the battle over who will become the successor of the dying CIA director. But no one counted on Mitch Rapp’s return…or how far he’ll go to find out who set him up.

An explosive thriller that is ripped from the headlines, The Third Option proves that “in the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standard” (Booklist, starred review of Red War). Espionage Genre Fiction Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

It was a bit harder to keep going with this one.

A little too much political talk. Not enough tactical.

More of a book setting up the future of Mich

Vince Flynn makes you feel like you have top level security clearance. Mitch Rapp was going to be used as bait but thanks to some great writing you can really believe how the turn of events can happen and just how deceptive the American Government can really be. It is a story far from finished because the deception runs so deep that you are going to want to read the next book as well.

Political thriller that leaves you wanting more!

story was again very good. ending was a total annoyance as it gives very little closure on the book. leaves you with a cliff hanger for the next book. which I will buy.

performance of the audiobook was the worst of the series so far. it's very choppy and has awkward pacing almost as if the recording was done sentence bu sentance. with a extra gap in between them. this is the first audiobook I've had it with though and hasn't turned me off of the series, audible or audiobooks in general.

good book shit ending.
