They defend America by breaking every rule of law and always get good results. The situations created by the author support the validity and necessity of their actions to defend freedom. A different set of possible circumstances would mean the USA would be using torture, theft, illegal wiretap, cybercrime assault, illegal breaking and entering and murder against innocent people. However, in the starkly obvious world of fiction, where mistakes are never made, the actions of the CIA are fun to read and we can hope they are as accurate in the real world as in Rapp's fictional universe.  Michaenite | Dec 10, 2009 |  2006  katiemertz | Nov 20, 2009 | "For years, Mitch Rapp's bold actions have saved the lives of countless Americans. He has killed with impunity, tortured to avert disaster, and shown he will do whatever it takes to prevent terrorists from fulfilling their bloody wishes. His battles for peace and freedom have made him a hero to many, and an enemy to countless more. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage, there are those, even among America's allies, who want to see Mitch Rapp eliminated. They have decided the time has come. Now, the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands vengeance in its simplest form -- an eye for an eye, and Rapp instantly becomes the target of an international conspiracy. This time, he must use all of his vigilance and determination to save himself before he can turn his fury on those who have dared to betray him. " (  ) dspoon | Oct 25, 2009 | Fiction, Thriller jdhake | Jun 6, 2008 | Saeed Ahmed Abdullah holds Rapp personally responsible for the death of his son, a terrorist whose plot against the USA was foiled by Rapp. Abdullah wants revenge; with the help of his friend Rashid a plan is set in motion to assassinate Rapp. Once a hunter, now Rapp the hunted must rely on his sharp instinct for survival…. The writing, plotting and pacing made the story of this book grabbing from the start. There is lots of action, impressive suspense throughout. This book was quite a ride, lots of emotional ups and downs and many surprises. All of Flynn’s characters are intensely vivid and have a terrific personality. Rapp is shown a little more human and less a superman this time as he goes through a personal crisis. In this sequel to Memorial Day the political gamesmanship does not stop, very entertaining.
