Publisher's summary

On a busy Washington morning, the stately calm of the White House is shattered in a deadly terrorist attack on the executive mansion. The president is evacuated to an underground bunker, but not before nearly 100 hostages are taken.

Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top counterterrorism operative, is sent in to take control of the crisis and determines that the president is not as safe as Washington’s power elite had thought. Indeed, Rapp has made a chilling discovery that could rock Washington to its core: someone within his own government wants his rescue attempt to fail.

Hear Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top operative, battle global terrorism in more of Vince Flynn's political thrillers.

Critic reviews

"Endless intrigue... Flynn mixes in a spicy broth of brutal terrorists, heroic commandos, and enough secret-agent hijinks to keep the confrontation bubbling until its flag-raising end." ( Publishers Weekly)
" Transfer of Power emerges in its sense of authenticity, depth of research, and almost seamless dramatic scenario....One of Flynn's finest skills as an up-and-coming young master of the genre of political thrillers is his ability to create a cast of compelling characters." ( Bookpage)

Phenominal...Again!!

This is the 5th book in the series I've read. I read the 2 latest ones and then decided to start from the beginning. What a great decision! Each book has been great and never boring and not once did I think "here we go again". I cant wait to start the next one.

Terrific Suspense

Mitch Rapp is the man...what would the Country do without the Ironman? Layers of research twisted into a suspense novel that feels as real today!

great story, horrible narrator

The story to this book is great but the narrator sounds like Cleveland on the show "Family Guy", which almost ruined it for me. there were times that I almost had to turn the book off.

Transfer of Power Review

Another great story by Vince Flynn. I've listened to several audio books by this author and totally enjoyed each one. I highly recommend anything by this author.

Overcoming ponderous narration

I read several previous reviews critique of Mr. Sullivan's narration and I concur. It is too slow and ponderous.

However, I found that if I switched the narration speed to 1.25X it clicked along quite nicely and rarely, if ever, did I find myself hating the narration.

He is no George Guidall, who could be? However, I'm sure it is ludicrous to assume that Mr. Guidall could narrate all the books, although that would be great.

Great!

So far my favorite Mitch Rapp book. Hope to God our Secret Service, Homeland Security and Armed Forces have taken precautions so things that took place in this book don’t!
Great listen from start to finish! On to book four!
