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.
©1999 Vince Flynn (P)2011 Simon & Schuster

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)

Change the narrator

Good book, but the narration lets it down unfortunately. Previous books in the series were far superior.

Brilliant!!!

I don’t normally write reviews but felt I had to on this occasion. The book grips you from the beginning. I will certainly be reading more of Vince Flynn’s books.

A trifle predictable but loved it non the less

You know what's coming when Mitch is around but who cares. Exciting And engaging characters and plot, maybe a bit rushed at the end but a satisfying big read (listen).

Oooh I loved this

I wanted to listen to this book after I saw it was the inspiration behind the films Olympus Has Fallen and also White House Down. I wasn't disappointed.I loved the way the story unravelled and how you got to know the characters. I just loved listening to this book. I think it is the longest book I have ever listened to but it seemed to go really fast. I would recommend it.

REALY!!!!

Good story but the narrator is terrible, sometimes sounds more like an auto reader.. I’m glad to get this finished as I can’t stand the narrator...

The fast action continues

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

A great reading of the book, nothing left out, and well read.

What other book might you compare Transfer of Power to, and why?

If you like tom Clancy, this is just like his books, but without all the waffle and stuffing, that make them 30+ hours long

What does Nick Sullivan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Great character dialogue.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, but if there was writing about it here might spoil the book!!!

Any additional comments?

Look forward to the rest of the series.
