Summary: The beginning of a major storyline
Comment: In THE THIRD OPTION, Vince Flynn brings back his character of Mitch Rapp, whom he made famous in TRANSFER OF POWER. In this novel, Rapp is sent to assassinate a German citizen by order of the President of the United States. It is a top-secret mission for which the President will have total deniability should be Mitch be exposed to the situation. Things do not go quite as plan and Mitch manages to escape from Germany without being caught.
Flynn exposes a Washington conspiracy in which certain individuals want to embarrass the President as well as the CIA. The head of the CIA is dying of cancer and the Senate and the House of Representatives are discrediting his chosen successor. The action in this book is taut and suspenseful. I enjoyed it.
The author brings backs characters from his previous works and have them play important roles in the novel. He is preparing them up for the continuation of the storyline, which I assume will be reflected in SEPARATION OF POWER. This story does have a self-contained beginning and end, but some readers might not like that the main villain does not get his comeuppance. I think it is important just to meet the character, see what he is capable off and hope that he gets his 'just desserts' in the next book.

Summary: Five Full Stars
Comment: Mitch Rapp is back in the Third Option along with Anna, the girl he fell in love with in "Transfer of Power." He is sent on a mission to assignate an German industrialist who is selling nuclear weapons to international terrorists. He is planning to make this his last mission when he realizes he has been set up and nearly killed by those supposedly helping him with the hit. The suspense is intense as he returns to the United States and makes his way to Dr. Irene Kennedy and Thomas Stansfield to find out if they have betrayed him. Stansfield, the director of the CIA is dying of cancer and has arranged for Dr. Kennedy to be named his successor. She is an unpopular choice and there are conspiracies within the conspiracies as her enemies attempt to discredit her. None of the id's are foolproof and Mitch works along with his old friend and colleague Scott Coleman to find the answers. Vince Flynn prepares the way for another book in the end as one of the really bad guys...a master manipulator... outsmarts the others. Mitch Rapp will be back and it can't be soon enough. This was a great read.

Summary: Mmm¿ Are you sure you wanna read this?
Comment: I got this book after reading "transfer of power" by the same author. What a disappointment. Skip this one, there are much better examples of the genre out there.
