This was my first Vince Flynn book - it will certainly not be my last. Good writing, interesting characters, kept my interest throughout.
The other reviews have covered the plot so I won't. I just read this after my teenage nephew told me about Vince Flynn and I thought I'd start at the beginning. But the detail is one of the best parts and even though set in basically one place it moves along. I ordered the other books in the series half-way through this one.While written 10 years ago this book might be even more relevant today than when written. I kept checking the publication date to be sure. You really get caught up in the characters. Can't get over how relevant this book is today and what he saw coming.
2 Friends told me to read Vince Flynn, and this is my second novel. He does not disappoint. Fast paced, very 24ish.I can't wait to read the next in line.Mitch Rapp. Jack Bauer.
My copy is 549 pages long. I really wanted an author I could enjoy. I suppose something like this is all about plot -- in which case pacing is vital. A freshman effort. This is the first "thriller" I've read in a long long time, and I find myself skimming it. Boring, clunky characterizations, descriptions, dialogue. .but I dislike it, a pretty fair bit. Big mistake.
This book is, well, not godawful, it's just boring. This is the first book by Flynn in the series, so it was the logical place to start. A boring thriller. I started it based on the high marks reviewers here gave it, and on Hugh Hewitt's strong recommendation. Precisely 300 pages too many. Maybe they get better, maybe much better, but I won't be risking it.
This plods. Let's just call it a difference of opinion. If you are willing, start someplace later in the series. Go figure.Hugh, ya screwed me.J
To date I have completed half of the series and have not been disappointed in any way. Transfer of Power was an exciting story, and the second novel in a series by Vince Flynn that nowincludes ten books. It was an exciting story, that you hated to put down before you finished. I'm starting Memorial Day today. Thecondition of the novel was exactly as advertized.
