The Third Option

customer reviews

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield -- a choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency.

But Mitch Rapp is no one's pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.
