Taking America back...one politician at a time TERM LIMITS In one bloody night, three of Washington's most powerful politicians are executed with surgical precision. Their assassins then deliver a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside partisan politics and restore power to the people. No one, they warn, is out of their reach -- not even the president. A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O'Rourke, a former U.S. Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence: a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country's future.... "Ingenious....Outpaces anything recently published, including Baldacci and Clancy." -- Florida Times-Union Includes an excerpt from Memorial Day, Vince Flynn's electrifying new hardcover

It's a shame that Vince Flynn went on to focus on espionage and counterterrorism, because Term Limits is THE best political thriller this native Washingtonian has ever read. He does such a bang-up job of exposing the base nature of most politicians and how our system of government fails to work that part of you can't help cheering the killers on as they "take back America...one politician at a time." To me, though, the scariest part is that his characterizations of the men and women we think are representing us in Washington are dead-on accurate. A spectacular, riveting read you won't want to pass up!

Not his greatest work, but Vince Flynn didn't hold back any punches in this lengthy but interesting novel. Perhaps some of our career politicians should interest themselves to this book.

The ISBN matches but the cover on my paperback looks a bit different. It is in decent condition and is an interesting political thriller.
