    Transfer of Power description


    Description
    Product Description:
      What if America's most powerful leader was also its prime target?

    On a busy Washington morning, the stately calm of the White House is shattered as terrorists gain control of the executive mansion, slaughtering dozens of people. The president is evacuated to an underground bunker, but not before nearly one hundred hostages are taken. One man is sent in to take control of the crisis. Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, determines that the president is not as safe as Washington's power elite had thought. Moving among the corridors of the White House, Rapp makes a chilling discovery that could rock Washington to its core: someone within his own government wants his rescue attempt to fail.

    Enjoyable read - 5 stars
    Transfer of Power Review
    Vince Flynn has certainly done his homework. I enjoy all of his books, great character development, realistic. Highly recommended if you like intrigue, and difficult to put down once you get started!
    Poor Formatting for the Kindle - 3 stars
    Transfer of Power Review
    This is a review of the Kindle edition, not the paper versions.
    I found this book doubly disappointing. The first and most bothersome problem was the poor formatting- inconsistent capitalizations, run together words, strange hyphenations. This was distracting and didn't allow the story to flow for me.
    The second problem was the predictability of the plot and the somewhat cartoon-like characters.
    The book did seem to be well researched and there were few glaring errors although the author is confused as to the functions and missions of the various intelligence organizations. At least he got the weapons correct which is often not the case in novels of this type.
    I don't know if the printed versions of this novel have the same formatting problems. I will probably purchase one more novel in the series and then see if things have improved.

    White House Terror - 4 stars
    Transfer of Power Review
    Transfer of Power is a very good action novel despite the fact that the bulk of the book is a siege situation. Rafique Aziz, a Palestinian terrorist, has managed the unthinkable. He has taken over the White House and is holding several hostages. Fortunately the secret service was able to whisk the president to his secure shelter underground before the terrorist takeover.

    There is a lot happening outside of the White House as a result of the terrorists' actions. The Vice President and his staff start plotting and imagining what life will be like when they take over the White House if the terrorists manage to pry the president out of his shelter. The military generals, the FBI, and the CIA all try to deal with the situation in order to rescue the president, pacify the public and accommodate the United States' allies.

    Fortunately CIA operative, Mitch Rapp, can be counted on to skirt the bureaucratic red tape and come up with a plan.

    It seems to me that most action novels have some shortcomings. Transfer of Power seems more believable than most, but the ending feels very abbreviated. After hundreds of pages of a siege situation the concluding action sequence seems very condensed and short on details. Much of the conclusion is told in the form of an epilogue which hardly seems like a fair payoff after the reader has been primed for 400 plus pages.

    Transfer of Power is not the best action novel, nor even the best Mitch Rapp novel, but it is still an entertaining page-turner for readers who enjoy a book filled with political intrigue, special forces maneuvers and combat.

    GREAT READ - 5 stars
    Transfer of Power Review
    This is a real stay up late can't put down book. Don't miss it and don't think it can't happen here.
    Vince Flynn is a superior writer of near fiction - 5 stars
    Transfer of Power Review
    I found that reading the series begun with Term Limits, it helps to read them in order of writing, as they build on previous issues. Transfer of Power is the second in the series, and I found it very hard to put down, just as I did Term Limits. I have finished the next two in the series, The Third Option and Separation of Powers, and I find all of Flynn's books full of incredible knowledge of the FBI, CIA and a full grasp of the pitiful inadequacy of our present Congress and the political system in general. I strongly recommend that all Americans read these books. All those who think "all is well" in Washington will have their eyes opened.
