CIA director Thomas Stansfield is dead –and many in nation’s capital are pleased to hear it. 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.

Now in a premium edition, the thrilling follow-up to "The Third Option "by #1 "New York Times "bestselling author Vince Flynn--featuring hero Mitch Rapp as he once again battles the forces of corrupt Washington politicians and scheming terrorists.
Director Stansfield of the CIA is dead, and the president has named Dr. Irene Kennedy as his successor. What should be a relatively easy confirmation is about to go awry. As the story unfolds, the president, Kennedy, and Rapp find themselves under assault from unknown forces in Washington and from afar. Senator Hank Clark, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has gained the president's confidence and is immersed in a complicated plot to bring the president's term to a premature end. To make matters worse, the president is confronted with a crisis in the Middle East involving nuclear weapons. The Israelis have given the president two weeks to take the bombs out, or they will do it themselves. In a race against the clock, Rapp navigates the treacherous alleys of Baghdad and the just-as-hostile streets of Washington, defeating his enemies at every turn, and leaving his customary trail of bodies.
