When diplomacy has failed and military intervention is deemed inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take THE THIRD OPTION.
CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield -- a choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins -- which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one's pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

This entry in the Mitch Rapp series is good if you are reading the series in order, because it brings together the characters from Term Limits and Transfer of Power and brings continuity to all of Flynn's books so far. Also, I enjoyed the story much better than the last book - it was more suspenseful.

A good thriller with very likable good guys and despicable bad guys. A quick page-turner with plenty of action, but the plot is a bit contrived.
3 stars out of 5

A real page turner. This book should be read with "Separation of Power." "The Third Option" is the first book with "Separation of Power" as the sequel.
