Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin&;now a major motion picture&;comes a pulse-pounding thriller that &;is an old school spy story&;updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal&; (Library Journal) that puts CIA agent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.

When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take a third option and Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an &;unofficial&; task&;targeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor.

But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp quickly realizes he&;s been deemed an expendable asset in a power struggle on home turf: the battle over who will become the successor of the dying CIA director. But no one counted on Mitch Rapp&;s return&;or how far he&;ll go to find out who set him up.

An explosive and unputdownable thriller that is ripped from the headlines, The Third Option proves that &;in the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standard&; (Booklist, starred review of Red War).

About this title

Review

"Amazon.com" This is a strong, swift thriller....Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last.

"Pioneer Press" (St. Paul) Flynn has a knack for jumping from continent to continent, character to character, with just the right proportion of space and action, sort of like old-fashioned Saturday-matinee serial films.

"Booklist" Flynn hits his stride in this thriller about high-end Washington politics...[he] has an exciting, Ludlum-like series going here.

"Booklist" Flynn's high-energy prosesgenerates plenty of suspense.

"Library Journal" Flynn's latest thriller...is an old-school spy story...updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal....Fans of Ludlum and Clancy will want to check it out.
