Editorial Review:

Product Description:


What if America's most powerful leader was also its prime target?

On a busy Washington morning, the stately calm of the White House is shattered as terrorists gain control of the executive mansion, slaughtering dozens of people. The president is evacuated to an underground bunker, but not before nearly one hundred hostages are taken. One man is sent in to take control of the crisis. Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, determines that the president is not as safe as Washington's power elite had thought. Moving among the corridors of the White House, Rapp makes a chilling discovery that could rock Washington to its core: someone within his own government wants his rescue attempt to fail.




Rating: - Seat of your Pants Fun
An exciting mix of political drama and super secret shoot em' up military action. The last 1/3 of the book is non stop action.

Vince Flynn has certainly done his homework. I enjoy all of his books, great character development, realistic. Highly recommended if you like intrigue, and difficult to put down once you get started!

The second problem was the predictability of the plot and the somewhat cartoon-like characters.
The book did seem to be well researched and there were few glaring errors although ... Read More

Rating: - White House Terror
Transfer of Power is a very good action novel despite the fact that the bulk of the book is a siege situation. Rafique Aziz, a Palestinian terrorist, has managed the unthinkable. He has taken over the White House and is holding several hostages. Fortunately the secret service was able to whisk the president to his secure shelter underground before the terrorist takeover.

There is a lot happening outside of the White House as a result of the terrorists' actions. The Vice President and ... Read More
