When a spike in CIA intelligence suggests a major terrorist attack planned for Memorial Day, the president orders Mitch Rapp, his top counterterrorism operative, to pull out all the stops. Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan where he leads the ultra secret counterterrorism Special Forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into Northern Pakistan. Their target: an al-Qaeda stronghold. Within a subterranean room, Rapp and his team discover a treasure trove of maps, computers, files and bills of lading for multiple freighters heading to US ports - all pointing to plans for a catastrophic attack on Washington DC. Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency search team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and the danger averted. Or has it? To Mitch Rapp, the whole operation seemed just a bit too easy. Following his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth, Rapp makes a truly terrifying discovery - and with Memorial Day closing fast, he must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions ...

Summary: Memorial Day
Comment: Good book, the first I've read from Vince Flynn. Current day problems and interesting twists. I will be reading more from him.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Better Every Book
Comment: Vince Flynn is an exceptional writer. The only thing I would like to say here is that as good as his first book was, he has gotten better and better with each writing. It is as if we have watched him evolve into a first class author every bit as good as Clancy and the rest. I can't put his books down. Thanks Vince
Customer Rating:
Summary: Action packed but lacks depth
Comment: Flynn uses the same protagonist (a counterterrorism expert) in this novel as he did in "Transfer of Power". This one is not nearly as good, it lacks depth, especially with the characters. Flynn is not at the level of Clancy, Higgins, and others of that genre, as some have espoused. Even so, "Memorial Day" is still an exciting read----a page turner, action packed, full of technical weapons, and you don't need to think too much.
Centered around political espionage and a Muslim terrorist plot on the United States. The assassin, Mitch Rapp is back again to save the country.
Flynn uses his novels to get out sound political messages: how should we be treating terrorists?; torture?; is the terror war a law enforcement issue?; should not the professionals be allowed to do their work?
Wish you well

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not bad. Not as strong as Flynn's others.
Comment: This one really slowed down in the middle. I would say at about the 3/4 mark it picked up and I enjoyed it from that point forward. This one is not as strong as some of Flynn's others like "Consent to Kill".
