  <default-description>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.

    <body><![CDATA[Flynn's second Mitch Rapp book, this page-turner follows an assassination gone bad, as Rapp tries to stay alive while searching for the people behind his betrayal.  Like the other Rapp book that I read last week, this one was incredibly hard to put down!  One more on the shelf that I intend to start...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52515628">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I gave this three stars  because Third Option was  a good book-but I expected more from Flynn.  I like others think that Mitch's love intrest could have been smarter...that part made me confused as to why it happened.  I guess the next books may explain this better. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the my first &quot;Mitch Rapp&quot; book and I wished I would have started with the first book in the series. Also, the story wasn't wrapped up at the end and now I will need to continue to the read other books in the series to see what happens. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good book, a continuation of the Mitch Rapp series.  I didn't like though, the somewhat open ended way it concluded.  When an author leaves the way open to continue the conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist, I feel a bit cheated.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first book I have read by this author. After completing the book I went to the book store and bought several more books by this author. It is a fast paced thriller of political intrigue with non-stop action and lots of suspense. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an early Vince Flynn Novel, but still well written with a very timely story.  I have now read all of Vince Flynn's Novels and have loved every one of them.  You must be into the world &quot;terrorist&quot; scene to be able to enjoy the stories and the intensity of the plots and subplots.
