    <body><![CDATA[I enjoy Flynn's CIA/terrorist novels. The 400+ pages flew by in less than 2 days. This is his latest book, and I was happy to see my friend England still is the Secretary of Defense in this book (he paid to be in the last one!). The hero continues to be Mitch Rapp, who works in a clandestine group inside the CIA. Liberal politicians and bureaucrats concerned about human rights and dignity are out to hinder/stop the clandestine group from doing its job their &quot;unlawful&quot; way to protect the US from terrorists. A Nancy Pelosi seems-alike character is a key Senator trying to get Mitch and crew. The Islamic terrorist cells is well trained and hell bent to wrac havoc on a US city. Enough said. <br/><br/>I didn't give 5 stars because I am getting bit bored with Flynn's books: Too similar, not quite enough thrill, the narrative can get repetitive, and some of the typical filler (e.g., what the baby is fed and its diaper issues) seems so out of place. But, I love the kick ass, whatever it takes, do it now, and make them pay main character.]]></body>
