Book Review - Pursuit of HonorREVIEW: Just another fantastic Vince Flynn book! The 10th book in the Mitch Rapp series, Rapp is focused on finding the terrorists that planned and executed the attacks from the last book. At the same time, has to deal with a few lose strings on the home front as well; politicians that think his tactics are too violent. Everything he writes seems too true to form and reminds me of just how bad some of our elected representative really are. Flynn reminds me a bit of Tom Clancy minus all the military details, and before he started “farming” out his name to other writers. Flynn's writes relatively short chapters, which is a very effective style of writing. It makes you very hesitant to put the book down; you always want to read just one more chapter. This was even easier to do because it was an audio book. As usual I thought it was excellent and really enjoyed. I give it [5-Stars].


SYNOPSIS
:
The action begins six days after a series of explosions devastated Washington, D.C., targeting the National Counterterrorism Center and killing 185 people, including public officials and CIA employees. It was a bizarre act of extreme violence that called for extreme measures on the part of elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his trusted team member, Mike Nash. Now that the initial shock of the catastrophe is over, key Washington officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the agents who stepped between the enemy's bullets and countless American lives regardless of the legal consequences. Not for the first time, Rapp finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians whose view from the sidelines is inevitably obstructed. Meanwhile, three of the al Qaeda terrorists are still at large, and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary. No one knows the personal, physical, and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp. When he sees Nash cracking under the pressure of the mission and the memories of the horrors he witnessed during the terrorist attack, he makes a call he hopes will save his friend, assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill, and get him one step closer to the enemy before it's too late.
