Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When diplomacy has failed and military intervention is deemed inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take THE THIRD OPTION.
CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield -- a choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins -- which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one's pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.
Amazon.com Review:
Rancorous political infighting surrounds the selection of a successor to the dying head of the CIA just as Mitch Rapp, the agency's top operative, embarks on a dangerous mission to take out a well-known German industrialist believed to be supplying Middle East terrorists with highly sensitive equipment critical to constructing a nuclear bomb. When Rapp's ultimately successful mission is compromised from within, ailing CIA director Thomas Stansfield puts his imprimatur on the efforts of his chosen successor, Irene Kennedy, director of the agency's Counterterrorism Center, to identify the powerful interests both inside and outside the agency that wanted Rapp to fail.
The motive soon becomes clear; there are people who'll stop at nothing to remove Kennedy from the helm of the agency after Stansfield dies. One thing they didn't count on was Rapp's survival, and now he's a lethal weapon whose sights are fixed directly on the most powerful among them. This is a strong, swift thriller, a bit predictable (the senator in the grey hat has dogs named Caesar and Brutus) but nonetheless involving. Author Vince Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last; in Mitch Rapp, he's got the makings of a promising series hero. --Jane Adams

This book was well written and keep my interest. As does all of Vince Flynn's book. Definitely a good buy.
Rated by buyers -
Vince Flynn keeps the thrills coming. Another in a series of great adventures taken from tomorrow's headlines.
Rated by buyers -
In this installment of the Mitch Rapp series the CIA operative is nearly assassinated in Germany while completing a mission. Rapp has to go underground to see who wants him dead and why.
"The Third Option" has the same elements readers have come to expect from this series: violent action, descriptions of weaponry and special forces operations, and Mitch Rapp cutting through all the political nonsense to get things done.
Though "The Third Option" does end with some unresolved issues it is another fun ride for readers of action novels.
Rated by buyers -
The Third Option is Flynn's third spy thriller. Each one seem a little better then the previous. Nuff said, simply the best.
Rated by buyers -
Rapp is involved in an assassination plot in Germany and should have taken the advice of his gut. His cohorts aren't working on the same side and try to kill him. Fast paced and always great to watch Rapp get out of a mess. Like Stansfield and hate to see him go. Kennedy is okay, but does not have the savvy that Stansfield has. Boy, once again those dirty Senators. Boy, it motivates one to get rid of Congress. Have to read Separation of Power to get justice. Loved it.
