It's just seven days before Memorial Day, and the nation's capital is buzzing with last-minute preparations for the unveiling of the magnificent new memorial honoring the men and women who fought in World War II. Despite the hopeful energy of the city, Mitch Rapp senses trouble. A spike in CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States. Now it's up to Rapp to pull out all the stops. Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan, where he leads a special forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into a remote Pakistani village. Their target: an al Qaeda stronghold. Within a subterranean room, Rapp and his team discover a treasure trove of maps, computers, files, and bills of lading for multiple freighters heading to U.S. ports -- all pointing to plans for a catastrophic nuclear attack on Washington, DC. Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency support team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and disarmed and the danger has been averted. Or has it? Despite all the backslapping and congratulations, Mitch Rapp can't shake the feeling that the operation seemed just a bit too easy. Rapp follows his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth. What he finds is truly terrifying, and with Memorial Day closing fast, Rapp must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions. Packed with the heartstopping action and political intrigue that Vince Flynn's fans love, here is a stylish thriller exalting America's past battles for freedom as well as its continued fight for peace. 2751330 2004 Memorial Day (Mitch Rapp, #5) total:1637|5:640|4:643|3:305|2:39|1:10| 1637 6775 2045 110 4 2 false false Thu Jan 15 04:40:03 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 04:46:17 -0800 2009 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 08 09:19:49 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 09:20:13 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 01 13:55:09 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 07:00:25 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Apr 28 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 04 21:14:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 21:14:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Jan 28 10:05:58 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 10:08:03 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 07:26:50 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 20:31:20 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 08:34:29 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 08:58:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Dec 04 09:41:45 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 09:44:08 -0800 2008

I think a lot of us hope there's a Mitch Rapp out there sometimes, but then we remember that mostly it's down the people "above" the field operatives.
