Summary
The latest pulse-pounding thriller by #1
New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn
explodes onto the scene with a deadly and charismatic hero
fans will cheer for all the way to the last riveting
page.
Vince Flynn's thrillers, featuring counterterrorism
operative Mitch Rapp, have dominated the imagination of
readers everywhere. Time and again, Flynn has captured the
secretive world of the fearless men and women, who, bound by
duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from
even their own political leaders.
Now, with Rapp away on assignment in Pakistan, CIA
Director Irene Kennedy turns to his protégée Mike
Nash. Nash has served his government honorably for sixteen
years -- first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as
an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by none
other than Mitch Rapp. He has met violence with extreme
violence and has never wavered in his fight against the
jihads and their culture of death.
Nash has fought the war on terrorism in secret without
accolades or acknowledgement of his personal sacrifice. He
has been forced to lie to virtually every single person he
cares about, including his wife and children, but he has
soldiered on with the knowledge that his hard work and lethal
tactics has saved thousands of lives. But the one thing he
never saw coming was that his own government was about to
turn on him.
In
Extreme Measures, Flynn introduces a modern-day
patriot -- a hero who loves his country, even when it betrays
itself. Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies
and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real
portrayal of a war that is that is waged every day by a
handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and
jaw-droppingly realistic,
Extreme Measures is
the political thriller of our time.
