Transfer of Power

A terrorist group seizes the White House in a hail of gunfire, killing dozens and taking nearly a hundred hostages while the President is rushed to an underground bunker. As politicians argue over negotiation strategy, CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp enters the Executive Mansion alone, moving through secret passages and coming dangerously close to the enemy. What he discovers about how the attack was planned and supported goes far beyond what anyone in Washington wants known.

Nick Sullivan has become the defining voice of the Mitch Rapp series, bringing a coiled intensity to Rapp's tactical professionalism that makes the action sequences feel genuinely dangerous. His authority with the political and military ensemble gives the White House setting its proper weight. At just under seventeen hours, this third Rapp novel is one of the tightest entries in the series, with a scenario that combines maximum stakes with a single, siege-like focus.
