Transfer of Power: Mitch Rapp Series

This is one of the best volumes in the Mitch Rapp series. It is better, but not essential, to read this book after the preceding two.

Wildly entertaining. Couldn’t put it down. Filled with great characters. Written so well that I could actually picture myself in the scene.

The entire book was classic Flynn and good from front to back. I gave 4 stars on this one because I feel Flynn slipped a bit about 3/4 of the way through attempting to lay groundwork for the spectacular ending. I think there was a bit too much detail and too much complexity and it would have been better if shorter and simpler.

fun to read

I couldn't put this book down. A rollercoaster ride from start to finish. One of the best action thrillers that I have had the pleasure to enjoy in a long time. Bravo to the character Mitch Rapp and to the gifted author Vince Flynn. I plan on reading the whole series!

Fast moving and unputdownable. The ending was rushed a bit. Towards the end I guess a miracle occurred. Very satisfying read.

The Good: Flynn writes solid stories. He is well embedded in this type of narrative and he seems to have a firm grasp of what he's doing, where he's going and how he wants to get there. I think the best part about this book was the perceived realism. Now I say "perceived" because I have never been under terrorist control nor have I been in a terrorist hunting unit. But if I were in either, I imagine it would go something like this book. He writes in a manner that is not so grandoise that you feel like you're watching a movie with a 200 million dollar explosives budget. The main character is believable and good, but not perfect. Even in the end, as it wraps up rather quickly, I thought - well, that was kind of anticlimactic - but then realized that that's how it is. There are no dancers or music or productions, just people getting the job done.The Bad: At times the terrorists seemed a little stereotypical but this was not a distraction.The Ugly: Could have done without the love interest. I think I would rather read a book where the protagonist has a wife or one girl he's with as opposed to introducing the new, fawn eyes blonde girl who you know is going to end up kissing him at the end. If you're going to spend all the time focusing on the realism outside of the love interest, why blow it when it comes to the girl. Truth be told, I don't think anyone really cares about her anyway.The Verdict: Definitely worth the read. The political clashes and infighting are worth the read alone.

I don't normally write book reviews, but this book had to be an exception. There are so many stories written about the taking of the White House and this one is one sure to be one of my favorites.

Having read the first two books in the series I thought there’d be a falling off in quality of storyline but how wrong was I ? This one starts out slowly,gathers pace gradually and then draws you at pace into a tense ,nail-biting finale.Great action with finely drawn characters.Another very enjoyable read in the happy knowledge that there are plenty more left in the series.

So far this has been Flynn’s best work (as I’ve been reading the books in order) it was Fast paced and with an exhilarating plot! Mitch Rapp is a fun character and I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

Vince Flynn亡き後Kyle Millsが引き継ぎ、今年Don Bentleyが引き継ぐ、長く続いているシリーズの1作目です。1999年の作品でポケベルが出てきたりもしますが、そこを除けば2024年現在の設定であったとしても全く違和感がなく、驚かされます。長編ですが読みやすく、手に汗握る展開で大変引き込まれます。

An excellent read that makes it very hard to stop reading until the end. Amazing how this character keeps you captivated with each new novel

Good read and fast paced fiction novel.although the main character comes across as over the top action Lone Ranger
