Muslim al Qaeda terrorists strike in Washington, DC, killing nearly 200 people including. Of course, Mitch Rapp, the hero of many of Vince Flynn's novels, gets involved. Some of the terrorists are killed on the scene but three of them escape to, of all places, Iowa. So apprehending them is part of this story. At the same time, Rapp recognizes and deals with the burn-out of one of his black-op colleagues. Much of the action takes place in and around Washington. Again, Flynn makes the case that playing by the rules is just not effective against the really bad guys, but he also creates a tension in making one of the terrorists a more complex personality than the stereotype of a raving religious extremist.
I confess, I like the action and characters in Vince Flynn's books. I also admit they all run together in my mind after a month or so.
