The Third Option
2 journalers for this copy...
Found this lurking on my parent's shelves; it's not really my thing and I don't think they'll be reading it again, so here it is. I'll probably bookring it or trade it or something so if you really want it let me know and it's yours.
Amazon.com says:
Rancorous political infighting surrounds the selection of a successor to the dying head of the CIA just as Mitch Rapp, the agency's top operative, embarks on a dangerous mission to take out a well-known German industrialist believed to be supplying Middle East terrorists with highly sensitive equipment critical to constructing a nuclear bomb. When Rapp's ultimately successful mission is compromised from within, ailing CIA director Thomas Stansfield puts his imprimatur on the efforts of his chosen successor, Irene Kennedy, director of the agency's Counterterrorism Center, to identify the powerful interests both inside and outside the agency that wanted Rapp to fail.
The motive soon becomes clear; there are people who'll stop at nothing to remove Kennedy from the helm of the agency after Stansfield dies. One thing they didn't count on was Rapp's survival, and now he's a lethal weapon whose sights are fixed directly on the most powerful among them. This is a strong, swift thriller, a bit predictable (the senator in the black hat has dogs named Caesar and Brutus) but nonetheless involving. Author Vince Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last; in Mitch Rapp, he's got the makings of a promising series hero.

Sent off as an RABCK to KarinAlyssa today by surface mail. Hope you enjoy it, and that it doesn't take too long to get there! :-D
I went to my mail box and I had 2 parcels, one was expected, but the other one was a mystery. It was Zarylia's Third Option from MN, USA and not from Warsaw, Poland!!! Many thanks for sending this book way up north and I promise to read soon and release it one way or another.
I enjoyed this book while reading it on the subway in Montreal. Thanks Zarylia for sharing it.
