About this ebook
This “roller-coaster, edge-of-your-seat thriller” (Star-Tribune, Minneapolis) in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series follows the CIA’s top operative as he must stop a massacre in Washington, DC, and save the president before terrorists reach the White House.
The stately calm of a Washington morning is shattered when a group of terrorists descends, killing dozens and taking nearly one hundred hostages as they try to infiltrate the White House. The Secret Service immediately evacuates the president to an underground bunker—and while officials argue over how best to negotiate with the enemy, Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top counterterrorism operative, moves stealthily among the hidden corridors and secret passageways of the nation’s capital to save the hostages before the terrorists reach the president. But there’s someone waiting in the wings, someone within the Washington elite, who is determined to see Rapp’s rescue mission fail.
With heart-pounding thrills and feverish pacing, Transfer of Power “mixes in a spicy broth of brutal terrorists, heroic commandos, and enough secret-agent hijinks to keep the confrontation bubbling until its flag-raising end” (Publishers Weekly).

It's like Tom Clancy on speed, all the action but none of the long exposition on military platforms and hardware. This book was paced quite fast and kept me interested throughout. I liked the premise, I liked the characters and I thought it was executed brilliantly. I can't wait to read the others in this series. The eBook had a couple of typos, but nothing too distracting.

you will probably see this on all of the books from me. I love these books and this series, I hated reading until I started to read The Surivor not knowing it was a series. I was hooked ever since and now I own all the books digitally and working kn getting it in paprr back. If you are bot hooked on this series after the first book id be really surprised.

I read this one very rapidly, almost too rapidly to enjoy the material. I have enjoyed the other books I've read from Vince Flynn, but this one was more difficult to read. It may have been due to my state of mind, it may have been due to my struggles to follow the intricate details of the story line.
