Vince Flynn's uber-operator
Mitch Rapp is basically the ultimate weapon against bad guys... He speaks fluent
Arabic and several other languages, survives almost any situation, and hates double-crossers. In this book, Mitch Rapp is out to investigate a presidential candidate whose motorcade was attacked by a terrorist bomb. Everybody thought it was
Al Qaeda. However, something does not fit. Could the bomb be an inside job solely to manipulate public opinion? Is it treason? Mitch Rapp investigates, and will get to the truth...
The problem with this book is it's not quite as exciting. Unraveling conspiracies is not as exciting as saving people's lives, finding weapons of mass destruction, and so on. There is just no feel of "sense of doom", or a "ticking bomb" if you will. Still, this is one of the better escapist novels about terrorism without falling into "campy" feel like "Ghost" (reviewed earlier)
