Product Description

CIA superagent Mitch Rapp is back in action in this high-velocity adventure from the master of the political thriller, Vince Flynn.

SEPARATION OF POWER

CIA director Thomas Stansfield is dead -- a fact many individuals in and around the nation's capital are pleased to hear. But their happiness proves to be short-lived once they learn that Stansfield's successor is the late director's close friend and protege, Dr. Irene Kennedy. Her plan of action is to pursue the very goals Stansfield established -- something Stansfield's fiercest enemies don't want to hear. And something they refuse to accept.

Meanwhile, Israel has discovered that Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- and they've vowed to stop the Iraqi madman before he can get his hands on the ultimate weapon. With the Middle East teetering on the precipice of chaos and devastation, the president of the United States is forced to act. The commander in chief's secret weapon? None other than the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, Mitch Rapp. But the window for action on this crucial mission is incredibly tight. Israel has given the United States only two weeks to take the nukes out. After that, they'll do whatever it takes to destroy the weapons themselves. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, Rapp races against time and impossible odds -- navigating the deadly alleys of Baghdad, tearing through the corruption-riddled streets of Washington, D.C., and taking drastic measures against anyone who gets in his way.

With action that sizzles and true-to-life insider detail, Separation Of Power showcases New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn at his shell-shocking best.

2 out of 5 stars shallow characters and dialogue   July 3, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I expected a little more depth of character and story development, but Flynn just rushes this book along, forcing an unrealistic plot down our throats. This is a world where the president looks at the window of the oval office in indecision and despondency at distressing world events; and does cliched things like end a meeting, then say something that sounds morbid or fatalistic just before his aides leave the room. A world in which the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff launches into a tirade about a doomsday scenario that would bring the earth to a standstill, and when career politicians whine and are easily manipulated by their politico-peers. And we're supposed to believe that the main character, who takes every last precaution deadly seriously, brings the woman he wants to marry with him on a potentially deadly mission, and assumes wrongly he's going to be able to confront a known assassin who double-crossed him in the past and she'll tell him just because he asked nicely. And that's only halfway through the book!

The Mitch Rapp series are fast-moving compelling novels. Separation of Power is a real page-turner. I didn't want to put it down. Mitch Rapp, the main character, is a CIA assassin, who unabashedly believes in execution as a way to solve political problems. The book's author,Vince Flynn, uses Rapp's rationalizations for violence as a device to persuade the reader that there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking. He also tries to convince you that the people attempting to restrain Rapp are the bad guys. The TV series "24" is analogous. Let's hope that both readers of Rapp novels and watchers of "24" have the maturity to separate the morality expressed in entertainment from the morality needed in real life. These assassination novels are great reads,but we don't want to see vigilante-style justice replace our judicial system or undo the concept that one is innocent until proven guilty. If we support violent solutions, someday we, ourselves, might be the victims of a malevolent or misguided government.

5 out of 5 stars Vince Flynn has done it again   May 10, 2008
For anyone familiar with Vince Flynn's books, it is unnecessary to get into specifics about this book. Suffice it to say that this book makes TV a poor second choice no matter what is on. The only negative thing I can say about Flynn's books is that he can't possibly write them fast enough. I have read everything that he has written, and now I'm suffering withdrawl. I hope he will have another on the market this year. Have no fear, if you like Clancy, or Haig, you will like this, and all of Vince Flynn's books. If you have blood pressure issues though, you may want to be certain that you haven't missed a dose any day you happen to be reading any of Flynn's books!


5 out of 5 stars Boy, nailed politics in Washington   May 4, 2008
Well written and a lot of action. Loved the politics in Washington for it is realistic and makes one get out the pink liquid. Got to the point where I was hoping someone, anyone, would get rid of Rudin and Clark. So typical of today's Senators interested in power and not serving the U.S. and supporting the Constitution. Must read The Third Option first to be satisfied with getting the bad guy. Of course, Rapp is the hero in Iraq regarding nukes. But I think the best part of the story is the subplot with the agent in Italy. She and Rapp have a history and the assassination action with them is non-stop. Still tired of Anne. Boy, what a jerk. Hopefully, in the future she will be gone.


4 out of 5 stars My first Vince Flynn book   April 22, 2008
I've read a lot of good comments about the books by Vince Flynn. I was popping by the municipal library a couple of days ago and borrowed the only Flynn book left. I wasn't disappointed. "Separation of power" is a very good read.

Colonel Ben Freidman, the director of Mossad, comes to Washington and calls a meeting with the president of the United States, Mr Robert Xavier Hayes, and the CIA director nominee, Dr Irene Kennedy. Freidman announces that Saddam Hussein is rebuilding his nuclear program by purchasing technologies and scientists from North Korea. The Iraqis regime is about to have 3 nukes, which are placed under a hospital. The United States is forced to react and Israel gives the States only 2 weeks to take the nukes out. After that, the Israelis would attack Iraq to protect themselves.

At the same time, the US President and Dr Kennedy are facing a serious political threat campaign launched by the Congressman Albert Rudin and Senator Hank Clark. Their hope to survive is very much dependent upon the CIA's top counter-terrorism operator, Mitch Rapp.
