Act of Treason

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

The fallout from a horrific Washington explosion has just begun, along with CIA superagent Mitch Rapp’s hunt for a killer with a personal agenda in this “fun, finger-blistering page-turner” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series.

In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington’s most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp—the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contract killers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation’s capital…and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office.

“Taut writing and [a] plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community” (Publishers Weekly) make Act of Treason an unputdownable and heart-pounding thriller.©2006 Vince Flynn; (P)2006 Simon and Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved.

Critic reviews

In Act of Treason, Vince Flynn shows readers the underside of political power, where mercenaries are born and thrive and betrayal is business as usual. A fast and furious page-turner from beginning to end, "thrillers do not get any better than this." -- Copley News Service

Getting better

I am reading this series in order. The series started slow, but good. Each book gets better and better. This one is very good.

Another Hit For Mitch!!!

I enjoyed every minute of this novel. Even the lag in the action was proper and necessary to the story. Mitch Rapp was at his finest and George Guidall is a great narrator. I would hate to hear this series read by someone else. Great job Vince Flynn.

Great Read

Fast read, Cant wait to see Amerian Assian. mitch Rapp will not be beat period.

Still great!

I'm now on my 10th straight Mitch Rapp book and I thought I wanted a break, but after starting something else, I realize I'm missing the MItch Rapp universe. I'm kind of wondering what they're up to in my absence! This one, Act of Treason, had plenty of political intrigue, which is something I particularly like. For the first time I had a tiny thought that it was getting a bit tiresome that the solution to every problem was killing someone, but I got over it. Some of the bad guys don't die, I've learned, and pop up again in a later book!! If you think a loose end hasn't been tied, just wait for a continuation later on. And after I'd concluded that the romantic, sensitive scenes weren't really his forte, I found myself with eyes filling with tears. I don't want to do any spoilers and it was in the previous book, Consent to Kill, but it was a remarkably well done scene and I think has made Consent to Kill the top one for me so far. I've enjoyed them all and time to buy some more credits to get back to Mitch Rapp's world!

Hold On To Your Hat, Holster & Heart

Flynn's [RIP] best yet. An act of terrorism in D.C. leaves an upcoming election in the air, while things closer to Mitch's personal life make those events look like a cake walk.

Flynn is prophetic in his understanding of radical, Islamic terrorism. This book, written in 2006 is more relevant today (2017)

George Guidall's raspy, deep voice is perfect for Mitch Rapp

Worth a credit.
