Transfer of Power

Mitch Rapp Series

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: Nick Sullivan

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).

The first Mitch Rapp series novel written!

Vince Flynn wrote Term Limits and self published it in 1997 after being turned down again and again by publishers. He never had to worry about publishers acceptance again!. The protagonist of Term Limits was us congressman Michael O'Rourke.

Transfer of Power, published in 1999, is the first novel written in the great Mitch Rapp series, but is Book 3 in Mitch Rapp's chronology. It begins what is doubtless the greatest espionage thriller series ever written. Just get the audiobook!

Term Limits and the first three Mitch Rapp novels (#3, 4, and 5 in the Rapp series) are the only of Vince Flynn's audiobooks not narrated by the wonderful George Guidall. All 4 of those books suffer from less than outstanding narration.

Criticisn of Narrator Not Justified

I found both the story and the narration to be excellent and do not understand the basis for the criticism of the narration.

INCREDIBLE BOOK!!!!

Wow! Did I say wow yet? So so so dang good! Mr Flynn had me from Hello”!!! Couldn’t stop listening. A 16 hr book and I couldn’t believe when it was over!

completely enjoyed

I started the first couple of books close to the end of this series so I went back and started from the top. with the first two books having been written sometime after this one it was a good transition but I did miss Stan, and no mention of Greta. the book itself was great, while I do enjoy Guidall reading better, once I was concentrating on story it wasn't that much of a distraction.

Amazing writing!

Narrator isn't George but good. Incredible author and story line! Very well written , smooth transitions. Overall excellent book!
