New Releases by Vince Flynn

Mitch Rapp makes a mortal enemy of Russia in this high-octane and “ripped straight from next week’s headlines” (The Real Book Spy) installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Mitch Rapp hates owing anyone a favor—especially when it’s the world’s most powerful crime lord. But when Damian Losa calls, Mitch is honor bound to answer. The Syrian government has created a highly addictive new narcotic that it plans to distribute throughout Europe. It’s a major threat to Losa’s business and he’s determined to stop it by any means necessary. Rapp is the perfect choice for the mission. Not only does he have extensive experience operating in the Middle East, but he’s also entirely expendable. As he crosses into war-torn Syria, Rapp quickly discovers a shocking truth. The new drug isn’t being produced by Damascus to prop up the government’s collapsing finances. Instead, it was created by Russia’s asymmetrical warfare unit as a weapon against the West. With far more than Damian Losa’s interests at stake, Rapp devises a desperate plan that forces him and his team onto a battlefield where the United States is virtually powerless, and allegiances shift almost hourly. Further, if Russia uncovers their plot, it will set off a confrontation between the two countries that could change the course of history in this “bullet train to high adventure” (Townhall).

With President Anthony Cook convinced that Mitch Rapp poses a mortal threat to him, CIA Director Irene Kennedy is forced to construct a truce between the two men. The terms are simple: Rapp agrees to leave the country and stay in plain sight for as long as Cook controls the White House. In exchange, the administration agrees not to make any moves against him.

Includes an excerpt from Enemy at the gates.

Tödliche Intrigen erschüttern das Weiße Haus Ein Bombenanschlag auf die Fahrzeugkolonne von Präsidentschaftskandidat Josh Alexander erschüttert Amerika. Der Politiker überlebt nur knapp, doch seine Frau wird getötet. Im Anschluss an den Wahlsieg beginnt die Jagd auf die Täter. Aber schon bald reift bei den Ermittlern ein ungeheuerlicher Verdacht: Stecken hinter dem feigen Attentat nicht Dschihadisten, sondern Neid und Machtgier? CIA-Agent Mitch Rapp forscht in den Abgründen des Politbetriebs nach der Wahrheit. Er muss die Urheber stellen, bevor die neue Regierung vereidigt wird ... Erstmals in ungekürzter Übersetzung. Providence Journal: »Flynn schreibt die besten adrenalingeladenen Thriller.« Publishers Weekly: »Tom-Clancy-Fans, die Flynn und seinen eigenbrötlerischen, vor nichts zurückschreckenden Helden Mitch Rapp noch nicht kennen, kommen bei diesem fesselnden Roman voll auf ihre Kosten.« Roanoke Times: »Alles, was ein Thriller haben muss: ein durchdachter, komplexer Plot voller Wendungen mit einem charismatischen Helden.« Vince Flynn wird von Lesern und Kritikern als Meister des modernen Polit-Thrillers gefeiert. Dabei begann seine literarische Laufbahn eher holprig: Der Traum von einer Pilotenlaufbahn beim Marine Corps platzte aus gesundheitlichen Gründen. Stattdessen schlug er sich als Immobilienmakler, Marketingassistent und Barkeeper durch. Neben der Arbeit kämpfte er gegen seine Legasthenie und verschlang Bücher seiner Idole Hemingway, Ludlum, Clancy, Tolkien, Vidal und Irving, bevor er selbst mit dem Schreiben begann. Insgesamt 60 Verlage lehnten sein Roman-Debüt ab. Doch Flynn gab nicht auf und veröffentlichte es in Eigenregie. Der Auftakt einer einzigartigen Erfolgsgeschichte: Term Limits wurde ein Verkaufsschlager, ein großer US-Verleger griff zu, die Folgebände waren fortan auf Spitzenpositionen in den Bestseller-Charts abonniert. Der Autor verstarb 2013 im Alter von 47 Jahren infolge einer Krebserkrankung. Der Anti-Terror-Kämpfer Mitch Rapp ist der Held in bisher 18 Romanen. Aufgrund des bahnbrechenden Erfolgs (Verkauf alleine in den USA schon über 22 Millionen Bücher) wird die Reihe in Absprache mit Flynns Erben inzwischen von Kyle Mills fortgesetzt.

Doch Rapp kommt zu spät und erfährt die schreckliche Wahrheit: Eine Atombombe befindet sich auf dem Weg in die Vereinigten Staaten. Um die Vernichtung der Hauptstadt zu verhindern, muss Mitch Rapp sämtliche Register gegen einen Feind ziehen, dessen Fanatismus keine Grenzen kennt. Mitch Rapp kämpft bis zur letzten Sekunde. Erstmals in ungekürzter Übersetzung CNNfn: »Vince Flynn wird mit jedem Buch besser.« Portland Oregonian: »Vergesst Jack Ryan! Mitch Rapp ist ein echt harter Kerl.«

The fallout from a horrific Washington explosion has just begun, along with CIA superagent Mitch Rapp’s hunt for a killer with a personal agenda in this “fun, finger-blistering page-turner” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series. In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington’s most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp—the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contract killers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation’s capital…and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office. “Taut writing and [a] plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community” (Publishers Weekly) make Act of Treason an unputdownable and heart-pounding thriller.

NYNÍ TAKÉ JAKO FILM Než o něm začali uvažovat jako o superagentovi CIA a než se stal nejhorší noční můrou teroristů a předmětem pohrdání i obdivu politiků z Capitol Hillu, Mitch Rapp býval nadaným vysokoškolským sportovcem, který se nezajímal o svět... a potom udeřila tragédie. Po dvou desetiletích vypjaté stranické politiky se CIA i celá země nacházejí ve stále složitější situaci. Veterán studené války a ředitel operací CIA Thomas Stansfield ví, že musí své lidi připravit na další válku. Islámský terorismus je na vzestupu a je třeba se mu postavit, než dospěje k břehům Ameriky. Stansfield nařizuje své chráněnkyni Irene Kennedyové a starému spolubojovníkovi Stanu Hurleymu, aby vytvořili novou skupinu tajných agentů pracujících mimo běžné struktury velení – jako muži, kteří neexistují. Jaký člověk bude zabíjet pro svou zemi, aniž si oblékne uniformu? Kennedyová ho nachází po teroristickém útoku na letadlo společnosti Pan Am nad Lockerbie. Onoho chladného prosincového večera zahynulo dvě stě sedmdesát lidí a událost zasáhla do života tisícovek příbuzných a přátel. Jedním z nich je Mitch Rapp, který však nehledá útěchu. Prahne po pomstě. Po šesti měsících intenzivního výcviku je Rapp připravený utkat se s nepřítelem na jeho domácí půdě a pustí se do toho s brutální účinností. Začne v Istanbulu, kde zabije tureckého obchodníka se zbraněmi, který dodal výbušniny pro útok nad Lockerbie. Pak se přesune do Hamburku a se svým týmem se vydává na cestu po Evropě, kde po něm zůstává stopa mrtvých těl. Všechny cesty však vedou do Bejrútu a Rapp netuší, že nepřítel ví o jeho existenci a nastražil past. Lovec se má stát kořistí a Rapp bude potřebovat veškeré fyzické i duševní schopnosti, aby přežil mezi teroristickými frakcemi ve válkou rozvráceném městě. Flynnův napínavý román, brutálně realistický a nabitý akcí v rychlém tempu, čtenářům ukazuje, jak to celé začalo. Za ocelově tvrdým pohledem nejneohroženějšího národního hrdiny lze tušit mladého muže, jehož osudem bylo stát se Americkým zabijákem. VINCE FLYNN se narodil roku 1966 v minnesotském Saint Paul. Ve svém rodném městě vystudoval University of St. Thomas a poté byl mimo jiné marketingovým specialistou a krátkou dobu působil jako pilot leteckých sil amerického námořnictva. Získal si uznání díky erudici v oblasti tajných služeb a za své jasnozřivé předpovědi ohledně vzestupu islámského radikalismu a hrozby mezinárodního terorismu. Nakladatelství BB/art vydalo Flynnův samostatný thriller Ultimátum a také všech třináct románů, v nichž vystupuje Mitch Rapp. Autorem dalších dvou knih o Rappovi Hra bez pravidel a Příkaz zabít je Kyle Mills. Vince Flynn podlehl zhoubné nemoci v červnu 2013 ve věku 47 let. Navštivte webovou stránku VinceFlynn.com.

In this special collectors’ edition, relive the action in Vince Flynn's #1 New York Tmes bestselling political thrillers: Consent to Kill, Act of Treason, and Protect and Defend. Consent to Kill An eye for an eye: that's what the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands in retribution--and with his hate-filled plea, Mitch Rapp becomes the target of an explosive international conspiracy. The fearless operative has both killed with impunity and tortured to avert disaster, all in a battle to preserve freedom. But even among America's allies, some believe the time has come to bring Rapp down. Now the unter is the hunted, and Rapp must rely on his razor-sharp instincts for survival—and justice—as he unleashes his fury on those who have betrayed him. Act of Treason In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington's most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp—the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contract killers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation's capital...and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office. Protect and Defend No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran's billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood. Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran's government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe.

THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF AMERICAN ASSASSIN With Iran on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon, Israel is forced to react.

An outraged United Nations condemns the attacks while Iran swears vengeance against Israel and her chief backer: the USA. Enter Lebanese master terrorist Imad Mukhtar, who has spent the past decade picking his targets and preparing his cells for this exact moment. All he needs to launch his strike against America is approval from Iran's Supreme Council. With the US on high alert, the President calls on the one man ruthless enough to counter the fanatical terrorist: Mitch Rapp, America's terrorist hunter and one-man wrecking crew. Rapp tracks Mukhtar across Europe to America, where they are pitted against each other. But only one of them can survive . . .

In the newest devastatingly intense thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn, his deadly and charismatic hero Mitch Rapp wages a war against a new enemy with the help of a fellow soldier as dedicated -- and as lethal -- as they come. Vince Flynn's thrillers, featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, dominate the imagination of readers everywhere. In them, Flynn captures the secretive world of the fearless men and women, who, bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders. Now, Rapp and his protégé, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America. Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for sixteen years -- first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp -- is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihads and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgement of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes. Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

They have enraged one of the most lethal and efficient killers the CIA has ever produced. Now they will pay.
